An apparatus comprises a base plate configured to be coupled to a door, the door configured to be positioned in an open position and a closed position; a closing mechanism coupled to the base plate and configured to be coupled to a hinge of the door and having an unprimed state and a primed state, the closing mechanism configured to be transitioned between the unprimed state and the primed state by a user; wherein in the unprimed state the closing mechanism is decoupled from operation of the door; and in the primed state the closing mechanism is configured to move the door into the closed position responsive to receipt of a signal, and the closing mechanism is configured to allow movement of the door between the open position and the closed position in absence of the signal.

A vehicle door arranged on a vehicle body and a device for manually and/or electromotively adjusting the vehicle door relative to the vehicle body including an output element moved on adjustment of the vehicle door and a switching device configured to switch between a coupling state and a freewheeling state, and a control device. The switching device configured to couple the output element to a further assembly in the coupling state and to disengage it from the further assembly in the freewheeling state such that the output element is movable with respect to the further assembly. At least one sensor device configured to detect a signal indicating an occupant's wish to get out of the vehicle, and configured to evaluate the signal for detecting an exit wish and actuate the switching device to switch into the coupling state.

There is disclosed in one example, an encasement for a mobile computer, including: an external casing in a clamshell form factor, the external casing including a base, a secondary display chassis hingedly connected to the base at a secondary hinge, and a primary display chassis hingedly connected to the secondary display chassis at a primary hinge disposed at a removed edge of the secondary display chassis from the secondary hinge, the primary display chassis to substantially overlay the secondary display chassis and the base when the primary hinge is in a closed position; and pivot means disposed to substantially bias the secondary hinge against movement from a selected position in at least one direction in the absence of an electrical input.

A system and method for controlling motion of a door are provided. The door is moveable between an open position and a closed position and has a balanced position whereat the door does not move towards the open position nor the closed position under an effect of gravity. The system includes a power actuator for moving the door to a partially open position between the open position and the closed position. The power actuator is adapted to allow the door to move to the balanced position after the power actuator has moved the door to the partially open position.

An exemplary lockset includes a mortise case, a magnet assembly mounted in the mortise case, and a manual actuator operable to move the magnet assembly between a coupling position in which a first magnet of the magnet assembly is aligned with a reference point and a decoupling position in which the first magnet is misaligned with the reference point. In certain embodiments, the magnet assembly further includes a second magnet having an opposite polarity as the first magnet, and the second magnet is misaligned with the reference point when the magnet assembly is in the coupling position and is aligned with the reference point when the magnet assembly is in the decoupling position.

An arm structure of an electronic device is provided. The arm structure includes an arm body, a first cam disposed on one side of the arm body and including a first hole into which at least a portion of a rotating shaft providing a folding operation of the electronic device is inserted, a peak and a valley being formed around the first hole, a second cam arranged side-by-side on a same axis as the one side of the arm body, spaced apart from the first cam, and including a second hole into which at least a portion of the rotating shaft is inserted, a peak and a valley being formed around the second hole, and a connecting part disposed on another side of the arm body and fastened with a rotating part providing rotation of the electronic device.

An anti-ligature hinge for a door and associated methods and systems are provided. The anti-ligature hinge has a hinge bracket operatively associable with a support and a hinge member operatively associable with a leaf. The hinge member is connectable to the hinge bracket and rotatable relative to the hinge bracket about an axis of rotation. The hinge member can disconnect from the hinge bracket in response to a threshold force acting along or transverse to the axis or rotation. This hinge is for eliminating ligature points in doors where vulnerable individuals are to be left unsupervised.

A vehicle door hinge for a vehicle door opening vertically includes a first hinge part attached to a vehicle frame having a pivot attachment means, a second hinge part attached to the door attached to the pivot attachment means to allow the second hinge part to rotate the door in an opening or closing direction, a stopper part attached to the pivot attachment means at a distance from a mass centre of the stopper part, a locking mechanism for locking the stopper part position relative the second hinge part. The locking mechanism is moveable between an unlocked position and a locked position. The stopper part in the unlocked position is arranged to be moved by gravity to a resting position where it is adjacent or abutting the first hinge part and stopped by the first hinge part from rotating in the opening direction but free to rotate in the other direction.

An automatic door operator (30) in adapted for use in an entrance system (1) that comprises a swing door member (10) being operable between a closed position (18) which prevents passage, and an open position (19) which admits passage. The automatic door operator (30) has an electric motor (34), an activation sensor (15) configured for manual actuation by a person wishing to pass through the entrance system, and a controller (31) having a normal operating mode and an emergency mode. In the normal operating mode, the controller is responsive to the activation sensor (15) and configured for, when the activation sensor (15) is actuated, controlling the motor (34) to generate torque for causing the door member (10) in the entrance system (1) to move from the closed position (18) to the open position (19), and to stay in the open position (19) during a configured hold open period (43).
