Provided is a swing door operator (110) for moving a door leaf (120) between a first position and a second position. The swing door operator (110) is arranged to operate in a powered and a powerless mode and comprises a permanent magnet DC motor (310). The motor (310) is arranged to move the door leaf (120) at least from the second position to the first position in the powered mode. The swing door operator (110) further comprises a mechanical drive unit (320), arranged to move the door leaf from the first position to the second position in the powerless mode. In the powerless mode, at least one resistive device is electrically connected in parallel with the motor (310) and arranged to limit a current generated by the motor (310) in response to the movement of the door leaf (120) from the first position to the second position by means of the mechanical drive unit (320). A method for controlling the swing door operator is also provided.

A vehicular opening/closing body control device includes: a braking control unit configured to apply a braking force to an opening/closing body provided in an opening in a vehicle; a position detection unit configured to detect an opening/closing operation position of the opening/closing body; and a traveling state determination unit configured to determine a traveling state of the vehicle, wherein the opening/closing body is opened/closed along a movement path, which is formed by a guide rail and a guide roller engaged with the guide rail, the guide rail includes a curved portion, which is curved in a width direction of the vehicle, and the braking control unit executes braking control in a case where the opening/closing operation position of the opening/closing body is within a specific range, which is set in the movement path of the opening/closing body to correspond to the curved portion of the guide rail.

A hood energy management apparatus includes an energy dissipation feature having a magnetic component and a pneumatic component as well as a hood bumper carried on the energy dissipation feature. A related method of managing hood closing energy and also automatically providing proper hood fit and finish is also disclosed.

An adjusting device for a vehicle part which is movable relative to a body of a vehicle, includes a drive arrangement having a drive unit and a movement state sensor, an adjusting element which is displaceable relative to the drive arrangement via the drive unit and a control unit for controlling the drive unit. The control unit is designed to actuate the drive unit according to an actual movement state. The disclosure also relates to a motor vehicle having a body and a vehicle part movable relative to the body, which part is equipped with an adjusting device.
