One embodiment relates to an exit device assembly. The exit device assembly includes a center case, a push pad movably mounted on the center case, and a mechanical case coupled to the center case, wherein the exit device includes an opening. The assembly also includes a sensor aligned with the opening, wherein the sensor is structured to detect a user from a distance through the opening and to generate an output signal in response to detecting the user. The assembly also includes a latch and a latch actuator. The assembly also includes a controller in communication with the sensor and the latch actuator, wherein the controller is structured to transmit an actuating signal in response to receiving the output signal from the sensor, wherein the latch actuator is configured to move the latch from the locked position to the unlocked position in response to the actuating signal.

An electronics system for a vehicle including at least one acceleration sensor and an electronic control unit, which on the basis of at least one measurement signal of the acceleration sensor controls at least one drive device for the power-operated adjustment of an adjustment part of the vehicle.

A hinge for opening and closing a tank or charging flap has two lever arms which are connected to one another in an articulated manner. A first lever arm is designed for connection to a tank or charging flap and a second lever arm is designed for connection to a component fastened to a vehicle. A drive is provided in order to pivot the two lever arms relative to one another about a pivot axis. The drive is an actuator that is received on or in one of the lever arms.

A door system having a linkage assembly with a drive arm and an attendant arm coupled at the ends through a gear joint. The gear joint has drive teeth on an end of the drive arm and attendant teeth on an end of the attendant arm. The drive arm is coupled to a motor in the door system that is coupled to a door, or a door frame or a wall. The attendant arm is coupled to the opposite of the door, or the door frame or the wall to which the door system is coupled. When the door system is installed on the push side or the pull side of the door the drive arm and the attendant arm are parallel with the door and the upper door frame. During operation the motor transfers the torque from the motor through the gear joint to open the door.

A motor vehicle includes a body, a side door hinged to the body so that it can rotate about an axis towards a side of the motor vehicle between a closed configuration and an open configuration; a motorized opening device, which is controllable to move the door from the closed configuration towards the open configuration; command receiving means to receive an opening request command for the door from the outside of the motor vehicle; and a control unit (ECU) configured to control the opening device so that the door rotates from the closed configuration towards the open configuration in response to the opening request command.
