An apparatus and a method for controlling an opening and closing of vehicle windows are provided. The method includes receiving, by a controller, an open signal for at least one window disposed within the vehicle. Further, the controller detects a rainfall at an exterior of the vehicle using a sensor and opens and closes the windows based on the open signal and the detected rainfall.

An input apparatus capable of preventing a user's unintentional input by notifying the user of a change in a pressure load is provided. The input apparatus has a touch face configured to receive a touch operation, a load detection unit configured to detect a pressure load of the touch operation to the touch panel, a vibration unit configured to vibrate the touch face, and a control unit, when the load detection unit detects a pressure load satisfying a standard load to receive an input, configured to perform a control to receive the input by the touch operation. When the load detection unit detects a pressure load satisfying a standard load, lower than the standard load to receive an input, the control unit controls the vibration unit to vibrate.

An anti-ligature door system that utilizes an anti-ligature hinge to operatively couple the door to the door frame. The anti-ligature hinge has an assembled leaf portion formed from a pair of leaves that are operatively coupled together using one or more pins. The anti-ligature cap that is operatively coupled to the leaf portion has a body with one or more projections extending therefrom. The one or more projections may comprise a leaf projection that is configured to be located between the first leaf and the second leaf and operatively coupled to the first leaf or the second leaf. The one or more projections may further comprise a knuckle projection that is configured to be operatively coupled to a knuckle of the first leaf or the second leaf, such as by being inserted into a knuckle aperture formed by the inner surface of the knuckle.

A driver for a movable window pane, in particular of a motor vehicle, having a receptacle recess, a receptacle of an edge section of the window pane, and having an elastically displaceable detent lug which is designed to engage in a latching cutout of the window pane in order to arrest the window pane on the driver, wherein the detent lug, in the reset position thereof, obstructs the receptacle recess and has an insertion taper assigned to the receptacle recess such that the detent lug is displaced into a position releasing the receptacle recess by insertion of the window pane into the receptacle recess. The detent lug has a catch groove on the insertion taper which extends parallel to the receptacle recess over the detent lug.

The one or more projections may further comprise a knuckle projection that is configured to be operatively coupled to a knuckle of the first leaf or the second leaf, such as by being inserted into a knuckle aperture formed by the inner surface of the knuckle.

The present disclosure relates to a door leaf formed of a flexible material, wherein the flexible material is resistant to puncture and resistant to tearing; and to a door system comprising the door leaf.

Drive apparatus for a closure element of a vehicle. The drive apparatus has a drive train with two drive sections, each having a drive connection. The drive sections are linearly movable with respect to each other in order to generate linear drive movements between the drive connections along a geometric axis between a retracted position and an extended position. An end stop is provided to limit the drive movement between the drive connections to the extended position, wherein the end stop has end stop faces movable toward each other on the drive sections and a damping device which, during a drive movement into the end stop, damps the drive movement in a manner which is dependent on its speed. The damping device has a damping element which, during the drive movement, is deformable by an axial impact of the end stop faces on each other or on an intermediate element.

The present disclosure relates to a door leaf formed of a flexible material, wherein the flexible material is resistant to puncture and resistant to tearing; and to a door system comprising the door leaf.

A system for moving a leaf of a slidable lifting door or door-window between a locked lowered closed position, where the insulating element in the leaf is compressed against the floor and hinders sliding, and at least two unlocked raised closed and open positions, between which the leaf is free to slide, includes a guide rail, which can be anchored to a frame above the leaf; a sliding system slidably engaged in the guide rail; a movement system; and an actuator, which can be controlled by a user and engaged with the movement system so that the user can control the movement of the leaf between the locked lowered closed and unlocked raised closed positions exclusively when the leaf is in such positions. The movement and the sliding systems are operatively connected so that the sliding system slidably supports the leaf when in the unlocked raised closed position.
