    Abstract: The present invention relates to a sectional lifting door system. When the system is in normal operation, a door operator drives a cable drum to wind or unwind a cable for lifting or lowering slats. During a process of lowering the slats, if the slats is stopped or slowed unexpectedly (e.g. the slats hit an obstacle below), the door operator is disconnected from a shaft automatically. At this time, even if the door operator is still activated, the shaft does not rotate, the cable drum does not unwind the cable so that a certain tension force can be maintained on the cable and that the cable is prevented from loosening from the drum, thereby preventing the slats from falling off. Also, it can avoid the situation that the weight of the slats is completely applied to the obstacle because the cable drum continuously unwinds the cable.

    Abstract: A motor drive device for moving a vehicle sliding door is provided. The device includes an electric motor, a force transmission mechanism operationally connectable to the vehicle sliding door and the electric motor to transmit a drive force provided by the motor to the sliding door, sensors at least for determining an instantaneous position of the vehicle sliding door, an electronic control unit for activating at least the motor, and a shift clutch coupled to the force transmission mechanism and couplable to the motor for load-independent coupling of the motor to the force transmission mechanism. The control unit, in the event of application of a sufficient force to the sliding door during a power-driven movement, either elevates a speed of the vehicle sliding door by elevating the transmitted drive force or decouples the force transmission mechanism and the motor with the shift clutch.

    Abstract: [Problem] A drive unit (10) for driving, via a first and second geared cable (8, 9), a first and second member to be driven (sun roof and shade) provided to an opening part formed on the secured roof of a vehicle, wherein while being able to switch between a state in which the power from a motor (18) is transferred to both the first and second members to be driven and a state in which the power is selectively transferred to the first or second member to be driven, the member to be driven, in which the transfer of the power from the motor (18) is blocked, is prevented from moving during an impact when the vehicle collides in the selective transfer state. [Solution] The output path of the motor (18) is divided into a first and second output shaft (22, 42). Moreover, a first and second electromagnetic clutch (24, 44) for switching between connecting/disconnecting a first and second pinion gear (23, 43) to/from the first and second output shafts (22, 42) is provided, and each pinion gear (23, 43) is secured to a frame (3) so as to not be able to rotate when disconnecting from the clutches (24, 44).

    Abstract: A hanger hinge for a folding door, window or similar closure having one or more panels, the hanger hinge comprising: A hanger bolt having a receiving portion in a lower end thereof adapted to receive at least a portion of an adjusting tool; A sleeve adapted to be supported on the lower end of the hanger bolt; At least one hinge leaf pivotally mounted on the hanger bolt and adapted to be fixed to a respective panel; and A locking mechanism comprising a locking member movable axially between a locked condition in which the locking member is engaged with the sleeve in a manner to substantially preclude rotation of the hanger bolt relative to the sleeve, and an unlocked condition in which the locking member is disengaged from the sleeve by axial insertion of the adjusting tool into the receiving portion, thereby freeing the hanger bolt for rotation relative to the sleeve.

    Abstract: A system, method, and computer storage configured for determining period-ending positions of multiple parts movable by select actuation of corresponding active materials. The operations include receiving, from a work-source sensor, work-source input indicating a distance moved by the work source and a direction of the movement, and determining, based on the work-source input and a first and second status histories, corresponding to a first and a second part, respectively, first and second distances travelled by the parts, respectively. Operations also include calculating, based on the first and second distances determined and first and second period-starting positions, corresponding to the first and second parts, respectively, first and second period-ending positions for the first and second parts, respectively.
