In one aspect, an in-vehicle device is provided that includes a sensor configured to detect a vehicle characteristic indicative of the vehicle being in proximity to a location associated with a movable barrier operator. The in-vehicle device includes communication circuitry to communicate an open command to the movable barrier operator that causes the movable barrier operator to open a movable barrier connected to the movable barrier operator. A memory is configured to store a vehicle arrival condition indicative of whether the vehicle arrived at the location associated with the movable barrier operator. A processor is configured to determine satisfaction of the vehicle arrival condition and, upon the vehicle arrival condition not being satisfied, cause the communication circuitry to communicate a close command to the movable barrier operator that causes the movable barrier operator to close the movable barrier.

A method for operating an assembly includes providing a furniture part which can be arranged by a furniture drive in at least two operating positions relative to a furniture body. In chronological order, a command transmitter spatially separated from the furniture drive transmits at least one digital command to a data transmission device of the furniture drive via the data transmission device of the command transmitter. A computing unit of the furniture drive compares the at least one digital command with at least one digital data set stored in a storage unit, and the computing unit makes a selection on the basis of the result of the comparison to carry out the at least one digital command.

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 movable barrier operator system is provided. The system includes a control circuit, an electric motor; and communication circuitry. The control circuit is configured to control operation of the electric motor based on a control signal received by the communication circuitry.

An apparatus for controlling bus doors (14, 16) that are arranged as a pair of doors that move in coordinated relation between door open positions and door closed positions, enables passengers to access an interior area (12) of a bus (10). The apparatus includes an actuator (28, 226). The actuator includes a drive lever (34, 228) that is selectively rotationally movable between rotational positions in which both of the doors are in the open positions and in the closed positions. Exemplary arrangements include at least one controller (128) that is operative to prevent the doors from causing damage to or from being damaged by engagement with obstructions. The controller further enables a bus driver or other authorized user to control access to the interior area of the bus using a user mobile device (144).

The present disclosure is directed generally to powered trailer systems and, more particularly, to powered trailer systems for opening and closing trailer doors at, e.g., a vehicle loading dock, and to vehicle and/or trailer power delivery and charging systems. A powered trailer door operating system can include a guide track having a lower guide track portion and an upper guide track portion; a drive support coupled to the upper guide track portion having a drive shaft positioned within a central cavity; and a carriage slidingly coupled to the drive support and operably coupled to the trailer door. The carriage can be operably engaged with the drive shaft through the slot such that rotation of the drive shaft causes the carriage to translate along the drive support, thereby moving the trailer door between the open and closed positions.

A vehicle control unit kit is a plug-n-play OEM harness configured to interface with a given vehicle's OEM window switch connector. The device is configured to enable the given vehicle's power window master switch driver to operate all vehicle windows. The vehicle control unit additionally incorporates smart avoid anti-pinching programming.

The present application relates to the technical field of vehicle-mounted luggage, and discloses a vehicle-mounted luggage case with doors opening on both sides, including: a case bottom, a center-shaft split-type case lid, a lid opening mechanism, a power supply assembly and an electric control assembly, wherein an operation panel is provided on either side of the case bottom, a sealed compartment is provided at either end of the case bottom, a luggage compartment is formed between two sealed compartments, a bulkhead is formed on a side of the luggage compartment proximal to the two sealed compartments. The present application is not only provided with a center-shaft split-type case lid for convenient access, but can also effectively widen the size of the case bottom, and can open and close the lid electrically, which is more convenient to operate, and has the function of self-storing electric energy.

A door safety system (3) for a door (2), having a safety component (10) arranged on a movable door element (4, 4a, 4b) of the door (2) and a supply component (11) arranged on a stationary door frame (5) of the door (2) for supplying energy to the safety component (10). The safety component (10) has an electric energy store (12) which is designed to autonomously supply electric energy to the safety component (10) when the door (2) is open, and the safety component (10) and the supply component (11) are designed to electrically charge the electric energy store (12) of the safety component (10) when the door (2) is closed.

A safe container comprises a first receptacle configured to receive a grooming product and a biometric lock configured to selectively open the first receptacle to a designated user. The grooming product may include a shaver and/or razor blade cartridges. The biometric lock may include a fingerprint reader.
