A wireless power transfer system for a vehicle door glass may include a power transmitter including a first converter converting DC power from a battery into AC power, a transmitting coil wirelessly transmitting the AC power received from the first converter, and a transmitter controller controlling a power level to be output from the first converter; and a power receiver including a receiving coil wirelessly receiving the AC power from the transmitting coil, a second converter and a third converter connected to the receiving coil, and a receiver controller controlling a power level to be output from the second converter and the third converter, wherein the power transmitter is mounted on a vehicle door, and the power receiver is mounted on a door glass.

Systems, methods, and apparatus for managing and controlling network-enabled movable barrier operators is provided. A method for managing network-enabled movable barrier operator includes receiving a user account identifier and a movable barrier operator identifier from a user device, providing an instruction to perform a specified action with a movable barrier operator associated with the movable barrier operator identifier to the user device, determining a registration condition is met upon detecting that the specified action has been performed, and, upon the registration condition being met, associating the movable barrier operator identifier with the user account identifier to allow a user account associated with the user account identifier to control the movable barrier operator over a network.

A case is mounted to a structure of a canopy or tent. The canopy functions as a campsite shelter. The case provides a lamp and a portal providing access to an interior space within the case where valuables may be safely stored. The apparatus may be secured to ceiling trusses of the canopy. An electrical circuit is engaged within the case and may include a battery providing power to the lamp. A remote control circuit functions to control the lamp. The battery may be charged by a solar cell. An audible alarm may be controlled by a motion sensor or by a case attitude detector remotely controlled.

An opening and closing system includes a first human detection sensor configured to detect a vehicle user who enters a first area defined on a periphery of a vehicle body, a lamp visible by the vehicle user who enters the first area, and a control device configured to control an unlocking operation of the lock device, a closing operation of the striker device, a pop-up operation of the striker device, and switching on and off of the lamp. The control device switches on the lamp when the vehicle user is detected by the first human detection sensor and starts the controlling of the unlocking operation of the lock device and the closing operation and the pop-up operation of the striker device in response to the lamp being switched on.

A safety cabinet can include an enclosure defining an interior compartment accessible through an opening. The safety cabinet includes an interior lighting system. The interior lighting system can include at least one of an illuminating light to enable viewing to cabinet contents and an ultraviolet light configured to disinfect the interior compartment of the safety cabinet. To provide electrical power to the interior lighting system, the safety cabinet includes an electrical connection disposed through the enclosure. The electrical connection can include at least one of a bulkhead connector and an intumescent socket.

An embodiment system for illuminating a charging port of an electric vehicle is provided. The charging port is provided in a vehicle body for supplying electrical power to a vehicle driving battery, and the system includes a charging port door configured to open and close the charging port, and a lamp device disposed on the charging port door and configured to illuminate the charging port.

Lighting units for use with garage door openers and associated door tracks in residential garages and other similar settings are described herein. In some embodiments, the lighting units can be easily attached to a door track by means of one or more magnets. In other embodiments, the lighting units can be easily daisy-chained together to provide increased lighting. Additionally, in further embodiments, lighting units described herein can be operably connected to a garage door opening system so that they operate in conjunction with the door opening system.

A method and system for a camera based hands free power liftgate is described herein. The system may power on following a key approach and/or the doors unlocking and then initialize. If there is an approach detected, the lights may be activated and the gesture detection feature of the system may then determine whether a gesture was detected. If a gesture was detected, the liftgate may then be activated. If no gesture was detected, the lights may be activated. For example, if there is a key approach, the system may power and initialize. The system may then determine whether an approach is detected. If an approach is detected, lights of the vehicle may activate and a determination whether a gesture is detected is made. If a gesture is detected, a liftgate of the vehicle may be activated.
