A trailer truck is the combination of a truck and one or more trailers used to haul freight. A trailer attaches to the truck via a trailer coupling (hitch), with much of its weight borne by the truck. The result is that both the truck and the trailer will have a distinctly different design than a rigid truck and trailer. Exemplary vehicles are provided, such as heavy duty trucks having truck bodies with improved aerodynamic characteristics, including improved drag coefficients.

A controller for controlling a motor of a closure and/or blind in a vehicle body is configured to determine a reference state signal comprising speed and/or current measurements, repeatedly estimate motor model parameters of the motor, determine an estimated state signal based on an input signal comprising measurements or estimates of a voltage, the estimated motor model parameters, the reference state signal and an error signal, the error signal representing a difference between the reference state signal and the estimated state signal, determine a disturbance observer signal from the error signal, compute a first derivative of the disturbance observer signal at a present moment, and reverse the motor upon determining that the first derivative of the disturbance observer signal exceeds a threshold.

An opening/closing device for a vehicle sliding-window panel, includes a sliding-window panel opening and closing an opening part provided in a vehicle body, a guide rail fixed to the vehicle body to support the sliding-window panel to slide, a carrier plate coupled with the sliding-window panel and fitted to the guide rail to slide, and a slide driving mechanism that operates the sliding-window panel coupled with the carrier plate to open and close by driving a motor. The carrier plate has a fitting groove which is open upward and extended in an opening/closing direction of the sliding-window panel and to which a lower portion of the sliding-window panel is fitted, and an engaging portion that engages with an engaged portion provided on the lower portion of the sliding-window panel fitted to the fitting groove to fix the lower portion of the sliding-window panel to the fitting groove.

A door assembly for a restroom stall having first and second opposed side walls and a front opening includes first and second housings defining first and second inner cavities and configured to be mounted on the first and second side walls, first and second doors moveably mounted on the first and second housings, each having opposed inner and outer surfaces that are curved and being moveable along an arcing path between an open position and a closed position. In the open position, the door is retracted within the respective housing and at least partially received in the respective inner cavity, and in the closed position, the door is extended outward of the respective housing relative to the open position. In the closed positions, the first and second doors combine to obstruct the front opening, and in the open positions, the first and second doors permit passage through the front opening.
