Abstract: A conductive hinge is made of a superelastic shape memory alloy such as nitinol (NiTi) having a large elastic strain limit for enabling the hinge to bend to a small radius during stowage and flexible return to a trained rigid hinge position by training the shape memory alloy to assume a predetermined deployed configuration when released from a stowage configuration. The hinge is trained by forging at a temperature above a training temperature. The hinge is stowed and released in the superelastic state to deploy solar cell panels as the hinges unfold to the trained deployed configuration.

Abstract: To control a relative rotation between two elements (10, 12), such as flaps of a deployable mechanical structure, on a space vehicle, a torsion bar (16) is used made of a bistable shape memory alloy, heated over its whole length by heaters stuck on the bar and retained by hooping rings. A stop (22) restricts pivoting to the pre-set pivoting angle to be controlled. Excess pivoting of the torsion bar (16) is applied to a mechanical fuse (18), interposed between the bar and one (12) of the elements.

Abstract: The present invention is provided with a mechanism for controlling the opening and closing of a door comprising a speed reduction means for reducing a rotational speed. A high speed shaft is connected to the speed reduction means and is connectable to a means for rotating the input shaft, and a low speed output shaft is connected to the speed reduction means. A governor is mounted on the input shaft for limiting the rotational speed thereof, to also regulate the rotational speed of the output shaft. A brake is provided for preventing rotation of the output shaft, and a self-closing mechanism is operatively connected to the door. The self-closing mechanism is adapted for storing energy when the door is opened to an open position, and a connecting means operatively connects the output shaft to the self-closing mechanism. A releasing means is provided for releasing the brake to permit rotation of the output shaft under the urging of the self-closing mechanism whereby the self-closing mechanism releases the energy stored therein so as to close the door to a closed position when the brake is released by the releasing means.

Abstract: Obstacle sensing apparatus for a pivotal door has a drive for operating the door between open and closed positions. Linkage is provided between the pivotal column which supports the door for swinging movement and a platform pivotally mounted on a fixed adjacent structure. When an obstacle is encountered the reactive force pivots the platform through the linkage and activates switches which reverse the drive. Elastic blocks keep the platform centered except when an obstacle is encountered.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure include a door control system with tip-to-close functionality for use in doors having a power assist function. An exemplary door control system can include an actuator configured to open and close a power-assist door and a sensor configured to measure a velocity of the power-assist door. The door control system can further include a servo-assist module (SAM) communicatively coupled to the actuator and the sensor. The SAM can be configured to initiate a tip-to-close function of the power-assist door responsive to door velocity measurements from the sensor and a natural deceleration rate of the power-assist door caused by actuator dampening.

Abstract: A latch assembly connected to the drive unit of a bi-fold door for retaining the bi-fold door secure to a building has elongated straps attached to rotatable latch drums mounted on the outer ends of the drive shaft of the drive unit. Lift drums powered by a motor driven gearbox raise and lower the bi-fold door. Latch assemblies having springs attached to the straps maintain tension on the straps during the opening and closing of the bi-fold door.

Abstract: A sunroof structure of a vehicle includes at least one first mount for being mounted to a vehicle body of the vehicle, a window panel for being disposed to a hollow portion of the vehicle and having a main body and second and third mounts disposed on a bottom side of the main body, a transmission member including first and second rotational shafts rotatably disposed with the first and second mounts respectively and at least one crank connected with the first and second rotational shafts, and a link pivotally connected between the third mount and a pivot mount of the vehicle body. As a result, the window panel is drivenable to close or open the hollow portion. The sunroof structure greatly increases the open area of the hollow portion, and provides the side shielding function for the vehicle when the window panel is opened.

Abstract: A passage barrier includes two guide elements that cooperate such that they define a gate region, through which a person passes from an entrance region into a passage region. The passage barrier has a drive with a drive unit and an output unit. The drive unit, output unit, and a barrier element are operatively connected such that the barrier element is movable via the drive unit into a position closing and a position opening the gate region. The output unit has a hollow shaft with outer and inner shell surfaces. The inner shell surface and drive unit are configured such that the inner shell surface surrounds the drive unit and the hollow shaft has a mount for fixing the barrier element on the hollow shaft. The mount is arranged on the outer shell surface and formed integrally with the hollow shaft.
