VEHICLE DOOR OPENING DEGREE ADJUSTMENT DEVICE
An opening degree adjustment device for a vehicle door includes a door check including a pressing member and being fixed to a vehicle door mounted to a vehicle body; a check link including a sliding surface to be pressed by the pressing member, one end being supported on the vehicle body so as to be pivotable, and another end having a stopper member mounted thereon, the check link being movable relative to the door check within a predetermined movable range of the check link between the one end of the check link and the another end of the check link under a state in which the sliding surface is pressed by the pressing member, and an opening degree adjustment block including a first checking region configured to restrict movement of the stopper member.
Automated rolling-jack for drive-on lifts
Techniques are disclosed for methods and systems for automating the operation of a rolling-jack system for the servicing of automotive vehicles. The rolling-jack(s) travel/transport between the runways of a drive-on lift. They have automated/motorized transportation, engagement and jacking power mechanisms. These mechanisms are controlled by a guidance system which guides/controls them for a fully automated operation. A number of technologies may be used for this purpose, including sensors onboard the vehicles and/or the drive-on lifts and/or the rolling-jacks and/or the service center. A computer vision pipeline may also be utilized to assist in the process. Machine learning may also be employed. Techniques are also extended to autonomous vehicles as well as interfacing with fleet management software.

Eddy current-based angle sensor
The invention relates to an inductive angle sensor that includes a measuring element able to be positioned, within an angle measurement range, in different angle-positions about a rotational axis, as well as a coil that is at a distance from said measuring element. The surface of the measuring element is at a different distance from the coil in each angle-position, within said angle measurement range.
