A system including a sensor supported by a motor vehicle, the sensor configured to send a first signal corresponding to an obstacle within a proximity of a door, an electronic control unit configured to receive the first signal from the sensor, the electronic control unit configured to send a second signal based upon the first signal, the second signal being capable of controlling operation of the door, an energy source configured to power the sensor and the electronic control unit independent of whether the motor vehicle is in an on condition or an off condition, and wherein the sensor sends the first signal and the electronic control unit sends the second signal to control operation of the door when the sensor detects an obstacle within proximity of the door.

Provided is a balance with a windshield having a door to be smoothly opened and closed either manually or automatically. Provided is an electronic balance with a windshield including a balance main body including a weighing mechanism connected to a weighing pan, a windshield having doors capable of opening and closing by sliding, and configured to form a weighing chamber by covering the weighing pan, and actuators configured to open and close the doors, wherein the actuator includes a double-acting type air cylinder having two ports serving as air intake ports, an air pump-to be connected to the two ports, two valves respectively interposed between the air pump and the two ports and configured to make the ports communicate with and shut off from the atmosphere, and a control device configured to control the two valves-to make the two ports communicate with the atmosphere when the air pump is stopped. Without a special mechanism, switching between automatic opening and closing and manual opening and closing can be made, and in either automatic or manual opening and closing, the doors of the windshield are smoothly opened and closed.

An electronics system for a vehicle including at least one acceleration sensor and an electronic control unit, which on the basis of at least one measurement signal of the acceleration sensor controls at least one drive device for the power-operated adjustment of an adjustment part of the vehicle.

A door assembly may include a first sidelite configured to be operably coupled to a first door jamb, a second sidelite configured to be operably coupled to a second door jamb where the first and second sidelites are disposed in a common plane and define a door opening between the first and second sidelites, a first sliding panel, a second sliding panel where the first and second sliding panels are movable from a closed position disposing the first and second sliding panels to block access through the door opening and an open position in which the first sliding panel is proximate the first sidelite and the second sliding panel is proximate the second sidelite, a first partial door panel, and a second partial door panel. The first and second sliding panels are disposed in a second plane parallel to the common plane in both the open and closed position. The first and second partial door panels are operably coupled to the first and second sidelites, respectively, via hinge assemblies. The first and second partial door panels have a closed state in which the first and second partial door panels are each disposed in the common plane blocking access through the door opening, and an open state in which the first and second partial door panels are each disposed out of the common plane.

A system and method for controlling motion of a door are provided. The door is moveable between an open position and a closed position and has a balanced position whereat the door does not move towards the open position nor the closed position under an effect of gravity. The system includes a power actuator for moving the door to a partially open position between the open position and the closed position. The power actuator is adapted to allow the door to move to the balanced position after the power actuator has moved the door to the partially open position.

A device for controlling a vehicle is provided. The device includes an input device for receiving a user input, a state sensing device for sensing a vehicle state change in response to the user input, and a controller configured to determine whether to apply a driving current of an actuator to a switching device based on the vehicle state change.

A retrofit module configured for use with a door closer having a pinion. The retrofit module generally includes a case, an output shaft, a motor, and a control assembly. The output shaft is rotatably mounted in the case, and is configured for rotational coupling with the pinion. The motor is mounted to the case, and is operable to rotate the output shaft in a door-opening direction. The control assembly is mounted to the case, and is configured to operate the motor to drive the output shaft in the door-opening direction in response to an actuating signal.

A robotic vehicle includes: a robotic vehicle body defining a storage compartment; a lid for closing the storage compartment; and an opening mechanism installable on an exterior of the robotic vehicle body connecting the lid to the robotic vehicle body for actuating the lid between an open configuration and a closed configuration, the opening mechanism comprising: a semi-tubular body coupled to an outer surface of the lid, the semi-tubular body including a first rotational plate disposed at a first edge thereof; and an actuator disposed inside of the semi-tubular body and coupled to the exterior of the robotic vehicle body, the actuator being operatively coupled to an inner surface of the first rotational plate, the actuator being configured to impart a torque onto the first rotational plate, thereby causing the semi-tubular body to pivot and actuate the lid for providing access to the storage compartment.

In one aspect, an in-vehicle device is provided that includes a sensor configured to detect a vehicle characteristic indicative of the vehicle being in proximity to a location associated with a movable barrier operator. The in-vehicle device includes communication circuitry to communicate an open command to the movable barrier operator that causes the movable barrier operator to open a movable barrier connected to the movable barrier operator. A memory is configured to store a vehicle arrival condition indicative of whether the vehicle arrived at the location associated with the movable barrier operator. A processor is configured to determine satisfaction of the vehicle arrival condition and, upon the vehicle arrival condition not being satisfied, cause the communication circuitry to communicate a close command to the movable barrier operator that causes the movable barrier operator to close the movable barrier.

A door opener includes a mount seat having a bottom wall. A reinforcing seat is fixed to the bottom wall. A driving device for opening or closing the door is detachably coupled to the reinforcing seat and includes a motor. A quick-release device includes a quick-release seat fixed to the bottom wall and having a first coupling portion. The quick-release device further includes a movable member slidably coupled to the quick-release seat and having a movable coupling portion. A control device includes a protective housing and a control panel coupled to the protective housing. The protective housing is detachably coupled with the first coupling portion and the movable coupling portion. The driving device is selectively mounted to make the motor face or face away from the control device. An outer cover covers the driving device and the control device and includes a window in which the control panel is located.
