A vehicle interface system for a vehicle, the vehicle interface system comprising: a vehicle computing system comprising a processor that is configured to collect cabin conditions including cabin temperature of the vehicle; an on board diagnostic (OBD) device attached to the vehicle and configured to communicate data collected from the vehicle computing system to a communication service over a network; and a mobile device comprising a processor and that is connected remote from the vehicle over the network, the mobile device being configured to connect to the network to obtain the data from the OBD device and to receive a command from a user to control one or more components of the vehicle to control the internal temperature of the cabin of the vehicle.

A method for controlling an opening device and to an opening device for a motor vehicle door element, having a control unit, an electric drive, and an actuating element, wherein the actuating element can be actuated by means of the drive, and the door element can be opened by means of the actuating element. The opening device can be controlled on the basis of a position, in particular the inclination of the motor vehicle.

There is no known device which sounds an alarm and rolls down the windows in a car with a child left inside in a designed safety seat, when the temperature inside reaches an unsafe degree.

A hydrodynamic water blocking device for an underground garage includes a water blocking plate assembly and side rail assemblies, wherein the water blocking plate assembly includes a first water blocking element, one end of the first water blocking element is rotationally connected with a base, the other end of the first water blocking element is rotationally connected with one end of a second water blocking element, the first and second water blocking elements have foamed layers, the base has grooves capable of accommodating the embedded foamed layers, water inlets formed in the base communicate with the grooves, each of the side rail assemblies includes a side plate with an ascending rail including a horizontally disposed linear rail and an arc-shaped lifting rail, the second water blocking element has a walking assembly embedded in the ascending rail which is connected with a driving mechanism installed at the second water blocking element.

A system and method detects an obstruction in the path of a vehicle access control member moving from an open position to a closed position. The method includes transmitting a detection signal along an edge of the member towards a reflective surface mounted on the member. The detection signal includes a sequence of pulses having different amplitudes with the amplitudes varying linearly moving from a first pulse to a final pulse of the sequence of pulses. The method further includes receiving a detection response signal corresponding to the detection signal following reflection of the detection signal by one of the reflective surface and the obstruction. The detection response signal includes another sequence of pulses and the method further includes generating an obstruction signal indicating whether the obstruction is in the path of the access control member responsive to differences in amplitude between adjacent pulses in the sequence of pulses.

A door system with a deceleration mechanism may be adapted to control an opening of a door module that separates compartments of an aircraft and includes a door panel and a door frame. During the opening of the door module, the door panel performs a rotational movement 389 above a floor structure of the aircraft. The deceleration mechanism is operable in a normal operation mode and a deceleration mode and comprises a hinge, a wedge-shaped component that is rotatably attached to the hinge, and an activation device. The activation device is coupled to the wedge-shaped component and switches the deceleration mechanism from operating in the normal operation mode to operating in the deceleration mode when a difference in pressure between the compartments exceeds a predetermined threshold.

A method for the operation of a motorized flap arrangement of a motor vehicle, wherein the flap arrangement has a flap which is pivotable with respect to a motor vehicle body, wherein the flap arrangement has a back-driveable drive arrangement for the motorized adjustment of the flap and a control arrangement for controlling the drive arrangement. It is proposed that an, in particular gravitationally induced, predetermined flap deflection is detected by means of the control arrangement from a de-energized intermediate position of the flap in a monitoring routine and, in response to the detection of the predetermined flap deflection, a holding routine is triggered in which the drive arrangement is adjusted to a flap-holding position in a holding control circuit.

An anti-pinch window control system and an anti-pinch window control method are disclosed. The anti-pinch window control system includes a door panel, a glass window, a sound detection module, and a control module. When the glass window is closing, if a sound position of a sound on the glass window is close to an end portion of the glass window, the control module controls the glass window to stop closing. The sound on the glass window serves as the main judgment standard for the anti-pinch window control system, which can reduce the possibility of misjudgment.

A truck is provided that includes a bed section located rear of a cab section. The bed section is bounded on each side by opposing first and second upward-extending sidewalls, respectively. The truck also includes a truck bed cover that sits over the bed section on at least the first and second upward-extending sidewalls, and includes a door portion to create selective accessibility to the bed section of the pickup truck. The door portion is movable with respect to the first and second upward-extending sidewalls between open and closed positons via an automatic bed cover drive assembly that moves the door portion between open and closed positons according to a plurality of velocities within a predetermined variance.

A vehicle is provided that includes a vehicle body, a plurality of RF signal receivers located at a plurality of locations within the vehicle, an RF signal transmitter configured to be located on a pet for transmitting an RF signal, and a controller for processing the RF signal received by each of the plurality of RF signal receivers and determining a location of the pet based on the received RF signals, wherein the controller generates an output based on the location of the pet and controls at least one vehicle function based on the output.
