A fenestration automated operating system includes a fenestration frame, fenestration panel and one or both of a panel operating assembly or a panel latch assembly. The panel operating assembly is coupled with one or both of the fenestration frame or the fenestration panel. The panel operating assembly includes a panel actuator coupled with the panel actuator. A panel latch assembly is coupled with one or both of the fenestration frame or the fenestration panel. The panel latch assembly includes a latch and a latch actuator coupled with the latch. A fenestration controller is configured to operate each of the latch actuator and the panel actuator.

In a method for operating a motor-actuatable tailgate of a motor vehicle, the motor of which can be activated or deactivated controlledly by actuation of an actuating element of an operating element, a control unit ascertains whether the actuating element is actuated for a predetermined period of time or by a predetermined actuation sequence and at the same time a manual closing movement of the tailgate is effected. If so, a holding mode is activated on reaching the tailgate position at which the actuating element is no longer actuated, wherein the motor is short-circuited in the holding mode.

A hood assembly for a work vehicle includes a hood and a hood pivot joint configured to pivotally couple the hood to a chassis of the work vehicle. The hood pivot joint is configured to enable the hood to rotate between an open position and a closed position. The hood assembly also includes a lift mechanism having a linkage assembly pivotally coupled to the hood and configured to pivotally couple to the chassis of the work vehicle. In addition, the lift mechanism includes a linear actuator coupled to the linkage assembly. The linear actuator is configured to drive the linkage assembly to rotate the hood between the open and closed positions.

An entrance system (1) comprising a swing door member (10) having a door leaf (12), and an automatic door operator (30) is provided. The automatic door operator (30) has a motor (34) capable of causing movement of the door member (10), a controller (31) for controlling operation of the motor (34), and the automatic door operator (30) being operable in a testing mode (60) and an operational mode, wherein the controller (31) is configured, in the testing mode (60), to automatically determine at least one test parameter; and causing an action in response to the determined test parameter.

A drivetrain for the motorized movement of a motor vehicle closure including at least one friction lock mechanism to provide a friction torque, the friction lock mechanism being part of a coupling mechanism of the drivetrain for coupling two drive components of the drivetrain for conjoint rotation, including a coupling piece on the motor side to a drive component on the motor side and via a coupling piece remote from the motor to a drive component remote from the motor, and including multiple friction lock elements which can be rotated about a drive axis, are situated coaxially to one another and form the friction lock mechanism, a middle one of the friction lock elements being concentric to one another and in frictional engagement with two others of the friction lock elements.

A powered truck bed tonneau cover includes a handle operating a clutch to engage and disengage an electric motor from the tonneau cover. The handle is operable whenever the tonneau cover is open. A Hall sensor measures the position of the cover and a user may select closed and open positions for powered operation. A drive assembly of the powered truck bed tonneau cover resides just behind the cab and urges the cover into a spiral to avoid binding.

A drive device for a hatch, in particular for a tailgate, comprising a cable, which is connected at one end to a cable pulley, which is configured to wind or unwind the cable according to the direction of rotation of the cable pulley, wherein the cable pulley is connected to a first superordinate assembly, such as a vehicle body, and which is connected at its other end to a second superordinate assembly, such as the hatch, which is pivotably attached relative to the first superordinate assembly, comprising an actuator, which is configured to drive the cable pulley, wherein the drive device furthermore comprises at least one deflection unit which has a deflection roll over which the cable runs between the cable pulley and the hatch.

There is disclosed a lift-and-slide handle assembly (10) which includes a drive shaft (28) operatively adapted to couple with a roller actuating assembly of a lift-and-slide roller carriage. The lift-and-slide handle assembly (10) includes an electronic drive assembly (30) operatively adapted to couple with the drive shaft (28) to apply torque to the drive shaft and a manual drive assembly (32) operatively adapted to couple with the drive shaft (28) to apply torque to the drive shaft (28). The lift-and-slide handle assembly (10) further includes an override coupling assembly (34) operatively adapted to decouple the electronic drive assembly (30) from the drive shaft (28) to couple the manual drive assembly (32) to the drive shaft (28).
