A door control system is provided. The control system includes a controller configured to control a door via a motor. The motor is powered by a battery and bypasses the controller via relays and/or switches when power to the controller is disconnected.

A vehicle includes a door, an inside door handle, and a door opening warning system having an object sensor that detects an object outside the vehicle in a door collision risk zone, a touchless sensor that detects if a part of a user is positioned in an opening zone at the inside door handle and a touch sensor that detects if the user touches the inside door handle, and a control unit. The control unit triggers a first alarm if the object sensor detects an object in the risk zone and the touchless sensor detects a part of the user in the opening zone at the inside door handle, and triggers a second alarm if the object sensor detects an object in the risk zone and the touch sensor detects that the user is touching the inside door handle.

An automatic smoke/carbon monoxide evacuation system for a building having at least one existing ventilation fan and at least one ventilation passageway to outside the building is provided. The system includes a microprocessor and a smoke/carbon monoxide sensor coupled to the microprocessor and configured to detect presence of smoke/carbon monoxide and send a trigger signal to the microprocessor in response to detecting smoke/carbon monoxide. A power switch is coupled to the existing ventilation fan and is configured to automatically connect the existing ventilation fan to a power source in response to the trigger signal, so that the ventilation fan rotates at a high speed to ventilate the detected smoke/carbon monoxide via the existing ventilation passageway. An alarm device is further communicably coupled to the microprocessor and is configured to issue an alarm in response to the trigger signal.

It is provided an adjustment device for the power-operated adjustment of a vehicle part that is adjustable on a vehicle along an adjustment path between a closed position and at least one open position, comprising a sensor device by means of which an obstacle in the adjustment path of the vehicle part can be detected in a contactless way and upon detection of an obstacle in the adjustment path of the vehicle part an obstacle signal can be generated, and comprising an electronic control device coupled to at least one drive for the adjustment of the vehicle part, at least one actuating element for generating an adjustment signal and the sensor device, by means of which on the basis of the adjustment signal the at least one drive can be actuated for the power-operated adjustment of the vehicle part.

An automatic door system for a vehicle may comprise a hinged door in connection with the vehicle configured to selectively enclose a continuous opening formed between a first and a second pillar of the vehicle, wherein the sliding door and the hinged door are configured to enclose the continuous opening without an intermediate support pillar. The system may also comprise the hinged door in a hinged position and controlled by a first power actuator. The system may also comprise the sliding door in connection with the vehicle configured to selectively enclose the continuous opening, wherein a second power actuator controls a sliding position of the sliding door. The system may further comprise proximity sensors and interference sensors to detect interfering obstructions, objects, and/or persons located within the interference zone.

A sensor system for a door is includes a door configured to provide selective access between a first area and a second area; a door controller for controlling whether the door can open or be in a closed and locked position; a motion sensor for detecting motion in an area proximate to the door, the motion sensor configured to be operatively connected to the door controller; an object recognition sensor for recognizing objects in an area proximate to the door and proximate to the area where motion sensor detects motion, the object recognition sensor configured to be operatively connected to the door controller.

An automatic smoke/carbon monoxide evacuation system for a garage equipped with a garage door and garage door opener with a motor is provided. The system includes a microprocessor, and a smoke/carbon monoxide sensor incorporated in a garage door reverse sensor of the garage door opener and coupled to the microprocessor, and configured to detect presence of smoke/carbon monoxide and send a trigger signal to the microprocessor in response to detecting smoke/carbon monoxide. The system further includes a power switch coupled to the motor and configured to automatically connect the motor to a power source in response to the trigger signal to automatically open the garage door to ventilate the detected smoke/carbon monoxide in response to the trigger signal. An alarm device is communicably coupled to the microprocessor and is configured to issue an alarm in response to the trigger signal.

A garage door status monitoring and control system for a jackshaft operator may include a control module comprising a programmable platform configured to: receive a change-door-status command to change a position of a door; in response to the change-door-status command, generate and communicate a light or sound command to a wireless controller; delay a period of time after communicating the light or sound command to the wireless controller; and only after the delay, generate a door command corresponding to said change-door-status command to change the position of the door.

A movable barrier operator comprising a motor, communication circuitry configured to receive a control signal and communicate with a door lock associated with a passageway door, and a controller. The controller is configured to authenticate the control signal, wherein authenticating the control signal includes associating the signal with a first level of access or a second level of access. The controller is further configured to communicate with the door lock via the communication circuitry to permit opening of the passageway door in response to associating the control signal with the first level of access and inhibit opening of the passageway door in response to associating the control signal with the second level of access. The controller is configured to cause the motor to open the movable barrier regardless of association of the control signal with the first level of access or the second level of access.

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.
