A fitting assembly has a device for securing against operating errors that has a first protrusion which can be moved relative to a second protrusion by means of a first operating rod assembly. A buffer can be provided between the end sides of the first protrusion and the second protrusion. The first protrusion can be a cylinder and/or the second protrusion can extend in an elongated manner. The fitting assembly can have an anti-lifting device with a third protrusion which prevents a lifting of the first leaf. The fitting assembly has multiple carriages and multiple sliders in order to position leaves of the window or the door into their slide position in parallel with the main plane of the window or the door. In the blocking position, the leaves can be pressed against a fixed frame of the window or the door via the fitting assembly with multiple carriages and multiple sliders, in order to reliably seal the window or the door.

A method for operating a drive system for a body hatch, in particular a front hood of a motor vehicle, wherein the drive system has a motorized drive arrangement and a control device for actuating the drive arrangement, wherein the body hatch, in an opening process, is adjusted from a closed position in an opening direction. A faulty opening process of the body hatch is detected by means of the control device in a detection routine and that, upon detection of a faulty opening process, the drive arrangement is actuated by means of the control device in the closing direction.

The present invention relates to a door operator (1) and to a method performed in a door operator system (100) comprising a door operator (1) connected to and arranged to move at least one door leaf (5) between an open and closed position, the door operator (1) comprising a control unit (3) configured to control the movement of the at least one door leaf (5), the method comprising: obtaining (S100), in a sleep mode of the door operator system (100), a sequence of input data in one or more components of the door operator (1) or the at least one door leaf (5), receiving (S110), in the control unit (3) of the door operator (1), said sequence of input data from the one or more components, and evaluating (S120) said sequence of input data and ranking (S130) the probability of that said sequence of input data corresponds to an intrusion attempt on the door operator system (100).

An access system for a structure includes a control box mounted within a controlled access space of the structure and operatively coupled to a door panel operator that opens and closes a door panel of the structure for access to the controlled access space. The control box is configured to detect a presence of a security device relative to the control box, determine a position of the security device relative to the structure, and determine an authorization of the security device. The access system also includes a user interface mounted in an uncontrolled access space of the structure and coupled in communication with the control box. Upon actuation of the user interface, the control box operates the door panel operator when the security device is positioned proximate the control box, located in the uncontrolled access space of the structure, and authorized to operate the door panel.

An electronic safe assembly includes a safe that has a door is hingedly thereto for storing valuables. A control circuit is coupled to the door and the control circuit stores a first code and a second code. A keyboard is coupled to the door for entering an alpha numeric code and the keyboard is electrically coupled to the control circuit. The control circuit receives a first input when the first code is entered with the keyboard and the control circuit receives a second input when the second code is entered into the keyboard. A locking unit is coupled to the door and the locking unit is electrically coupled to the control circuit. The locking unit is in communication with an extrinsic communication network to selectively contact emergency responders. The locking unit engages the safe when the door is closed thereby locking the door. The locking unit disengages the safe when either of the first or second codes is entered with the keyboard. Moreover, the locking unit transmits a distress call over the extrinsic communication network when the second code is entered to notify the emergency responders that the safe has been opened under duress.

A device for detecting the intention of a user to lock or to unlock a motor vehicle door. The device being incorporated within a handle, including: a capacitive sensor for detecting the approach and/or the contact of a hand of the user toward/with the handle, including at least one electrode, located in proximity to a detection surface of the handle, that is capable of detecting the approach of the hand of a user toward the detection surface; a microcontroller; and a voltage source. At least a portion of the electrode takes a continuous shape of successive arches which allow water to flow away and are connected to one another at their bases by junctions, the junctions being pressed against the detection surface, thus forming a sealtight interface.

A hinge for the rotatable movement of a door or a similar closing element anchored to a wall or a similar stationary support includes a fixed element adapted to be coupled to the wall or a similar stationary support and a movable element adapted to be coupled to the door or a similar closing element. The fixed and movable elements are coupled to mutually rotate around a first longitudinal axis between an open position and a closed position.

An embodiment door control method for a vehicle, wherein the vehicle includes a switch for opening or closing a door of the vehicle, includes receiving a first close input of the door of the vehicle from the switch, determining whether a keep-open mode of the door is in an ON state or an OFF state, wherein the keep-open mode is determined based on a user input, and controlling opening or closing of the door based on the ON state or the OFF state of the keep-open mode.

Systems and methods are disclosed for preventing a display component of a portable information handling system from opening when in an upside down position. The portable information handling system may include a base component coupled to the display component by a gravity lockout hinge. The gravity lockout hinge may include a shaft, a bearing channel having a bearing channel surface opposite the shaft, and a movable bearing disposed in the bearing channel. The gravity lockout hinge may, when the portable information handling system is in an upside down position and a gravitational force is exerted on the display component, exert a first frictional torque on the shaft that may cause the movable bearing to contact the shaft and the bearing channel surface, and exert a second frictional torque on the shaft that may prevent an angular position of the display component relative to the base component from being changed.
