Abstract: A controlled counter-balance actuator opens and closes a lift-gate of a sport utility vehicle. The controlled counter-balance actuator includes a drive unit at each side of the lift-gate having a rotor that is pivotally secured to a body of the vehicle in a fixed position and a gas spring. The gas spring is pivotally secured to the rotor at one end and pivotally secured to the lift-gate at the opposite end. The rotor is indexed angularly by an electric motor so as to rotate from a home position to an open position in one direction or to a close position in an opposite direction. The rotor and the gas spring hold the lift-gate in an open position or a close position when the rotor is in the home position, move an open lift-gate toward the closed position when the rotor is indexed from the home position to the close position, and move a closed the lift-gate toward an open position when the rotor is indexed from the home position to the open position.

Abstract: An appearance of a vehicle is improved by reducing an opening formed in an interior trim for vehicle. An actuator unit is mounted in a pillar of the vehicle, and a linking rod is linked to a rack bar, which linearly reciprocates along an axial direction provided at this actuator unit. This linking rod protrudes from the pillar through the opening formed in an interior trim, and the other end thereof is linked to a back door. Moreover, this actuator unit is disposed so that a moving direction of the rack bar inclines on a vehicle-rear side by an opening/closing inclination angle null with respect to a direction perpendicular to the vehicle and inclines inward in a vehicle-width direction by a width inclination angle.

Abstract: A sash position sensing system for a fume hood (10) and the like having a plurality of movable sashes (12a, 12b, 12c, 12d) in a frame includes an indicator element (24) affixed to each sash and an array (20) of sensor elements (22) extending along the frame. The sensor elements interact with the indicator elements when generally aligned therewith. The status of the sensor elements is captured in parallel without the need for multiplexing the sensor array, and a processor (52) reads the captured state information and calculates the open area of the frame. In further aspects, a method for determining the position of one or movable sashes in a frame and a fume hood employing the sash position sensing system of the present invention are also provided.

Abstract: An actuating system, comprising a base part and a moving part, which can be moved by a compressively preloaded piston/cylinder assembly that comprises a cylinder and a piston rod, wherein a piston on the piston rod divides the cylinder into two working chambers, wherein the base part has an externally powered drive device that stands in operative connection with the moving part and functions in opposition to the operating force of the piston/cylinder assembly, wherein a control system monitors the motion of the moving system and detects an obstacle when a parameter representing the motion deviates from a stored parameter by a threshold limit, wherein the actuating system in the unpowered state holds the moving part with the aid of a locking device, wherein the locking device is formed by a flow connection between the working chambers of the piston/cylinder assembly and a pilot valve for controllably blocking fluid flow through the flow connection.

Abstract: An actuating arrangement for opening and closing a hinged motor vehicle panel has a fluid drive, a control unit, and a sensor unit. The hinged motor vehicle panel is movable between a starting position and an end position, and the control unit evaluates start signals from the sensor unit and stopping the movement of the motor vehicle panel in an intermediate position. The start signals from the sensor unit correspond to current angles of opening of the hinged motor vehicle panel, and predetermined angles of opening of the hinged motor vehicle panel define certain criteria. It is possible to set at least the angle of opening of the intermediate position via the control unit.

Abstract: A connection wire is connected to a part of a rear door popped up in a door-opening direction by an urging force. A pulley rotates responsive to a driving motor inside a wire-winding device to wind the connection wire thereon. In this manner, the rear door is automatically closed. The pulley is urged in a connection wire-winding direction by a power spring. A clutch is between the pulley and the driving motor. When the rear door is pressed by an operator's hands in a door-closing direction while the rear door is being closed, the pulley is rotated by the power spring, thus winding the connection wire thereon and preventing the connection wire from becoming loose. At this time, the connection between the pulley and the driving motor is cut off by the clutch. Thus, the pulley is rotated by the power spring freely and rapidly. In this manner, the rear door can be closed manually even while it is being closed automatically. Further, the connection wire can be prevented from becoming loose and from being sandwiched between the body of the vehicle and the periphery of a rear opening thereof.

Abstract translation: 连接线通过推动力与门开启方向的后门连接。 皮带轮响应于线绕设备内的驱动电机旋转，以将连接线卷绕在其上。 以这种方式，后门被自动关闭。 滑轮通过动力弹簧沿连接线缠绕方向被推动。 滑轮和驱动电机之间有离合器。 当后门被关闭时，操作者的手在门关闭方向上被按压时，滑轮由动力弹簧转动，从而将连接线卷绕在其上并防止连接线松动。 此时，通过离合器将皮带轮与驱动马达的连接切断。 因此，滑轮由动力弹簧自由而快速地旋转。 以这种方式，即使在自动关闭时也可以手动关闭后门。 此外，可以防止连接线松动，并且不会夹在车体和其后开口的周边之间。
