Abstract:
A vehicle door control apparatus includes a sensor provided on a door (20) of a vehicle (100). The vehicle door control apparatus (200) also includes a processor (270) configured to control opening or closing of the door (200) based on information (99) regarding an object (1000) sensed through the sensor (225).
Abstract:
In a shift lever device, at a time when a shift lever is pivotally operated in a front-rear direction, a retainer and a link are pivoted integrally with the shift lever, and a pivot portion is pivoted in the front-rear direction. Further, at a time when the shift lever is pivotally operated in a left-right direction, the shift lever is pivoted with respect to the retainer, and the link is pivoted, and the pivot portion is thereby pivoted in the left-right direction. Moreover, a position of the pivot portion is detected by a detecting mechanism, and a shift position of the shift lever is detected. Therefore, the shift position of the shift lever can be detected via the link.
Abstract:
A multiply-redundant system that prevents a driver from starting and/or moving a vehicle if a compressed natural gas fill system is not correctly and completely disconnected from the vehicle. One or more sensors in combination with one or more optional microswitches combine to lock-out the vehicle's ignition or otherwise prevent it from starting and/or moving. For different levels of safety, different combinations of sensors can be used with the lowest level having a single proximity sensor sensing the presence or absence of a high-pressure fill hose. The highest level of safety being achieved by having separate proximity sensors on the fuel fill hose fitting, the gas cap cover and a manual safety valve along with a redundant microswitch. An optional override that may be restricted as to the number of times it can be used can allow starting with a faulty sensor in order to allow maintenance.
Abstract:
A gear position detecting device of a secondary gearbox of a transmission. The device transmits a signal of the gear position of the secondary gearbox to a signal switch (5) by a step on a shifting fork (8) of the secondary gearbox or a step on a shifting fork shaft of the secondary gearbox. The signal switch (5) is arranged on the side of a back cover (7) and is lower than a maximum outline plane of the transmission. A step for pushing the signal switch (5) of the secondary gearbox is arranged on the shifting fork (8) or the shifting fork shaft of the secondary gearbox. Therefore, the signal of the gear position can be transmitted to the signal switch (5) by the shifting fork (8) or the shifting fork shaft of the secondary box so as to guide the driver.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses an operating fluid container (10) for a motor vehicle, comprising the following features: - the operating fluid container (10) comprises a filling level sensor (13), a container control device (60) and an electrically and/or electromagnetically operatable actuator (20-25, 44), by which the termination of a filling process of the operating fluid container (10) can be initiated; - the container control device (60) is connected to the actuator (20-25, 44) by means of a first data exchange connection (101) and to the filling level sensor (13) by means of a second data exchange connection (102); - the filling level sensor (13) is designed to transmit data representing a filling level of the operating fluid container (10) to the container control device (60) via the second data exchange connection (102); - upon receipt of data, which represent a predetermined filling level of the operating fluid container (10), the container control device (60) is designed to transmit a filling stop signal to the actuator (20-25, 44) via the first data exchange connection (101); and - upon receipt of the filling stop signal - the actuator (20-25, 44) initiates the termination of a filling process of the operating fluid container (10).

Abstract:
The invention relates to a sliding step (20) for a public passenger transport vehicle, comprising a step plate (24), which can be horizontally drawn in and out in a slide-in/slide-out direction by a drive, having two sides and a steps surface arranged between the sides, wherein the step plate (24) has at least two rollers arranged on the sides, which roll in a rail secured to the vehicle. At least one of the sides has a bent section in the region of one of the rollers, which bent section is arranged between the two rollers, and has an expansion measurement element for detecting deformations.
Abstract:
A control device of the invention is applied for a hybrid vehicle comprising an internal combustion engine, a motor and a rotational position detector to detect a rotational position of a rotary shaft of the motor. The control device performs a procedure for obtaining an offset amount according to a request for obtaining the offset amount, which offset amount is a difference between a detected rotational position of the rotary shaft with the rotational position detector and an actual rotational position of the rotary shaft. The control device is configured to perform the procedure for obtaining the offset amount while the engine is running, when the vehicle stops and the control device determines that there is the request for obtaining the offset amount.
