    摘要: An uplock for retaining a capture pin of a movable part includes a hook that is movable between a release position and a retaining position, a locking part that interacts with the hook and is movable between a locking position and an unlocking position, and a detector. The detector includes a first sensor for detecting whether the hook is in the retaining position, and a second sensor for detecting a presence of the mobile part in the immediate vicinity of the uplock in the position occupied by the mobile part when the capture pin is in the hook.

    摘要: A method for detecting a closed position of a movable part of a vehicle, in particular an automatically operable vehicle, said method comprising the following steps: a control unit receives a first position signal from a first signal source as a first closure criterion which comprises at least one locking position of a vehicle lock for the movable part; the control unit adds a conditional test instruction to the received first position signal, wherein the conditional test instruction comprises checking for at least one second position signal as a second closure criterion after detecting the first position signal, wherein the first closure criterion is also satisfied; the control unit receives the second position signal from a second signal source as a second closure criterion, wherein the second signal source is different from the first signal source and the second position signal can be assigned to the movable part; the control unit outputs a confirmation signal when both closure criteria are satisfied.

    摘要: A motor vehicle door lock, particularly a motor vehicle bonnet lock, includes a ratchet mechanism which substantially consists of a rotary latch and a pawl. The ratchet mechanism interacts with a lock retainer pin on a vehicle bonnet. A retention element is additionally provided which holds the pawl in a retention position, raised from the rotary latch, during unlocking of the bonnet. The lock retainer pin continues to engage in the rotary latch when in said retention position. During a first opening process which proceeds from the retention position, the lock retainer pin transfers the retention element into a release position that releases the pawl. During a subsequent bonnet closing process, the pawl can thus engage in the rotary latch, which can be pivoted without exertion of force by the lock retainer pin at least into the hold position.

    摘要: An aircraft and system of doors for providing security to a flight deck of the aircraft, and methods for operating the same, are provided. A passenger cabin is separated from a flight deck by an aisle that includes doors at either end. The doors are locked by a controller and one of the doors may only be unlocked, during a flight, if the remaining door is locked. As a result, a pilot can access a lavatory in the aisle in a secure manner. Additionally, the door closest to the passenger cabin may include a window that allows the pilots to view the passenger cabin through a peephole in the flight deck door. The controller may selectively dim or block a view through the window to prevent monitoring of the pilots' movements onto and off of the flight deck.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a driverless vehicle comprising at least two compartments, two opening elements, at least one retractable compartment partition, and an unlocking device comprising an electronic lock for each opening element, which is able to be locked or unlocked depending on the value of an instruction. The vehicle also comprises a control module comprising a sensor for receiving a digital key and an electronic component for authenticating the digital key and generating an instruction signal. The electronic lock comprises means for detecting closure of the opening elements, and the control module comprises digital key generation means able to generate a unique digital key upon each closure of the opening elements, the electronic component being able to authenticate the received digital key through comparison with the generated unique digital key.

    摘要: An external impact avoiding part makes a sensor failure detection part withhold from determining that a right or left door pressure sensor has failed when a right-left detection difference calculated at first time is a threshold value or larger, and makes a detection value comparison part calculate the right-left detection difference again after a calming time has elapsed. An effect of closing operation of a right door on the right door pressure sensor or an effect of closing operation of a left door on the left door pressure sensor reduces during the calming time. The avoiding part subsequently makes the detection part compare the right-left detection difference calculated again with the threshold value. As a result of the comparison, when the right-left detection difference is the threshold value or larger, the avoiding part makes the detection part determine that the right or left door pressure sensor has failed.

    摘要: An opening system for a vehicle includes a frame having an opening, an opening member that is movable relative to the frame between a closed position and an open position, and a retaining device. The retaining device includes a ferromagnetic element provided on the opening member, a magnet provided on the frame and magnetically coupled to the ferromagnetic element when the opening member is in the closed position, an electromagnet coupled to the magnet, and a control unit having a control module that controls the electromagnet upon reception of a control command. The control unit includes a detection module which, in the absence of a control command being received by the control module, is enabled for the detection of a signal, originating from the electromagnet, representative of the opening member reaching the closed position.
