An open roof assembly for use in a vehicle roof of a vehicle comprises a moveably arranged closure member for selectively covering or at least partially exposing an opening in the vehicle roof, an electric motor operatively coupled to the closure member through a mechanical drive assembly for moving the closure member, an electric driving unit for providing a supply signal to the electric motor and a control unit operatively coupled to the electric driving unit for controlling operation of the electric motor. The electric driving unit comprises four switching devices in a bridged configuration and the control unit is configured to control a motion of the closure member by controlling operation of the switching devices, and to incur a safety stop during a motion of the closure member by an immediate reversal of a polarity of the supply signal.

System for detecting the movement conditions of the leaf (2) closing a barrier, this leaf being able to occlude a delimited opening or passage and in which the leaf itself is moved by a motor (5) whose rotation shaft (R1) is associated with a motion transmission mechanism to this leaf. On said motor is present a first device for measuring the rotation of said rotation shaft (R1), and at least a second measuring device is associated with at least a second rotation shaft (R2), said second rotation shaft being connected to the first shaft by means of a reduction gear (8), whose reduction ratio is non-integer.

A drive for a flap, wherein the drive has a housing, a motor and a spindle drive, wherein the motor and the spindle drive are drivingly connected to one another and make a motorized adjustment of the flap possible, wherein the drive moves the flap at least into an open position and a closed position, wherein the spindle drive has a threaded spindle with a nut and a thrust tube and the thrust tube is connected to the threaded spindle via the nut, wherein the thrust tube is moved via a translational movement, wherein the spindle drive is arranged inside a rotor and the motor drives the rotor, wherein the rotor is connected to the threaded spindle.

A sliding door driving device includes: a power source; a motor that outputs power to open and close the door; a motor driving circuit that connects the power source and the motor to each other; and a motor control device that controls the motor driving circuit. The motor control device includes an inverter that converts DC power supplied from the power source into AC power, and a shunt resistor disposed between the power source and the inverter. The position detection unit of the motor control device obtains the rotation angle of the motor based on the output of the shunt resistor.

A drive arrangement configured to provide motorized adjustment of an adjusting element of a motor vehicle and including a motor, a driveshaft extending from the motor, an output shaft, a spindle configured to translate to adjust the adjusting element, a coupling configured to selectively couple and decouple the spindle from the motor, the coupling, a housing, and a sensor. The coupling including a coupling element configured to generate a signal indicative of rotation angle of the coupling element. The coupling, the output shaft and at least a portion of the driveshaft disposed in the housing. The sensor disposed in the housing and configured to detect the signal.

A system and method of operating a power tailgate assembly for a vehicle. The system can detect that a tailgate, connected to the vehicle by a pivotal connection and having an open position and a closed position, is in the open position, detect that the vehicle is being driven, detect, by one or more sensors, a movement of the tailgate, and control a motor assembly to restrain movement of the tailgate and return the tailgate to the open position in response to detecting that the tailgate is in the open position, the vehicle is being driven, and the tailgate has moved more than a threshold amount.

The technology relates to assisting in the closing of a vehicle door by automatically pulling a door closed. One or more computing devices having one or more processors may receive, from one or more sensors, information indicating that a door on the vehicle is not closed. In response to the received information indicating that the door is not closed, the one or more computing devices may determine to send a triggering signal to close the door. The one or more computing devices may send the triggering signal to the actuator and the actuator may receive the triggering signal. In response to receiving the triggering signal the actuator may be activated to close the door of the vehicle without user input.

An apparatus and a method for controlling and confirming a window are disclosed. An apparatus for controlling and confirming a window position, includes an input dial including a jog dial or a wheel dial and configured to input an input signal in response to a dialing operation by a user, a window configured to be opened or closed by a magnitude of the input signal inputted by the input dial, and a position confirming device configured to inform the user of a current window position in a tactile manner.

A method (1000) for testing of a door operator (100), said door operator (100) being configured to via a mechanism (104) move at least one door leaf (200) between an first position and a second position, the door operator (100) comprising a first drive unit (102) configured to optionally move the door leaf (200) into said first position, said door operator (100) further comprising a control unit (103) connected to a sensor (105).

With respect to an opening/closing control device for controlling an opening/closing operation of an opening/closing body driven by a motor, the opening/closing control device includes a current detector, a voltage detector, a processor, and a memory. The processor calculates the speed of the opening/closing body based on a change in the detected position of the opening/closing body, and decreases the pinch threshold value in a case where a state, in which the calculated speed of the opening/closing body is less than or equal to a first predetermined threshold value, and a temporal change in the calculated load is greater than or equal to a second predetermined threshold value and less than or equal to a third predetermined threshold value, continues for a certain period of time or greater.
