Abstract: A powered actuator assembly for a closure member of a motor vehicle includes an electric actuator, a leadscrew extending along a leadscrew axis between opposite leadscrew ends, the leadscrew being configured in operable communication with the electric motor for rotation in opposite directions about the leadscrew axis in response to the electric motor being energized, and a nut assembly configured for translation along the leadscrew in response to rotation of the leadscrew. The nut assembly has a nut with a through opening in threaded engagement with the leadscrew and a housing disposed about the nut. A push/pull rod has a first end coupled to the housing of the nut assembly and a second end configured to be coupled to a body of the motor vehicle, wherein the housing and the nut of the nut assembly can move relative to one another.

Abstract: An electromechanical biasing member for moving a closure panel between an open and a closed position relative to a motor vehicle body is provided. The electromechanical biasing member includes a housing having an inner cavity for housing an electric motor having a motor shaft and a rotary output member rotatable relative to the housing. An extension member within the housing and engageable with the rotary output member moves the closure panel between the open and closed positions in response to driving the electric motor. Also provided is a control unit positioned within the inner cavity and configured to drive the electric motor, the control unit including at least one controller board juxtaposed to the electric motor, and a plurality of control components mounted to the at least one controller board and configured to supply a drive signal to the electric motor and receive signals representative of operation of the electric motor.

Abstract: A vehicle headlight has a segmented light guide device in which segments are selectively controlled to operate in an output state that reduces glare to oncoming vehicle drivers. Vehicle sensors and controller circuitry are used to identify areas of glare removal in the light pattern of the headlight and control the corresponding segments in the light guide device to operate in a selected light output state that reduces glare. The segments can be operated in a focused output state for vehicle driver visibility, or in a scattered output state to reduce glare. The segments can be operated in a clear or transparent output state for vehicle driver visibility, or in a reflected output state to reduce glare. Reflected light can optionally be re-directed. The light guide device can employ bi-stable liquid crystal shuttering or liquid crystal switchable mirror technology.

Abstract: A radar detection system for activation of a powered closure member of a vehicle and corresponding method are provided. The system includes a radar sensor assembly having a radar transmit antenna for transmitting radar waves and a radar receive antenna for receiving the radar waves after reflection from an object in a detection zone. The radar sensor assembly outputs a sensor signal corresponding to the motion of the object in the detection zone. An electronic control unit is coupled to the radar sensor assembly and includes a data acquisition module to receive the sensor signal and a plurality of analysis modules to analyze the sensor signal to detect extracted features and determine whether extracted features are within predetermined thresholds representing a valid activation gesture. The electronic control unit initiates movement of the closure member in response to the extracted features being within the predetermined thresholds representing the valid activation gesture.

Abstract: A door system, presenter assembly and method for controlling movement of a motor vehicle closure panel between a closed position, a presented position and an open position are provided. Presenter assembly includes an electric motor having a drive shaft that extends along a drive shaft axis. A clutch assembly has an engaged state when electric motor is energized and a disengaged state when electric motor is de-energized. A presenter unit has a presenter lead screw and an extensible member configured for movement between a retracted position corresponding to the closed position and an extended position corresponding to the presented position. Extensible member is biased toward the retracted position by a presenter biasing member. Presenter lead screw is rotatably driven by the output member when electric motor is energized and when clutch assembly is in the engaged state to move the extensible member against the bias of the presenter biasing member to the extended position. Extensible member is automatically biased from the extended position to the retracted position by the presenter biasing member when the electric motor is de-energized and when the clutch assembly is in the disengaged state.

Abstract: A power latch and presenter assembly for latching and releasing a closure panel and for moving the closure panel from a closed position to a presented position includes a ratchet moveable between a striker capture position and a striker release position. A pawl is configured for movement between a ratchet holding position, whereat the pawl maintains the ratchet in the striker capture position and a ratchet releasing position. A power release actuator is configured to move the pawl from the ratchet holding position to the ratchet releasing position and to move a presenter arm between a non-deployed position, whereat the presenter arm is spaced from the striker, to a deployed position, whereat the presenter arm engages the striker to move the closure panel from the closed position to the presented position. A power presenter actuator is configured to move the presenter arm from the non-deployed position to the deployed position.
