Abstract:
Residual magnetic locks, brakes, rotation inhibitors, clutches, actuators, and latches. The residual magnetic devices can include a core housing and an armature. The residual magnetic devices can include a coil that receives a magnetization current to create an irreversible residual magnetic force between the core housing and the armature.
Abstract:
This application discloses residual magnetic devices in the form of locks (12), brakes (140,1020), rotation inhibitors (78), clutches (194), actuators (200) and latches (170). These devices can include an armature (18), a coil (22), a biasing member (27) and a housing core (20). The coil receives a magnetization current to create an irreversible residual magnetic force between the core housing and the armature.

Abstract:
Apparatus and method for activating a passive entry system. The motion detector can include a latch input lever, a switch, and a damper. The damper can provide more resistance to the latch input lever in order to transfer motion to the switch in response to fast movement of the door handle. In some embodiments, the motion detector can include a switch actuator, a notched lever, and a switch. Movement of the notched lever can cause the switch actuator to contact the switch. In other embodiments, the motion detector can include a switch actuator, a notched lever, and a magnetic sensor switch. The magnetic sensor switch can include a magnetic switch member that moves in response to a second end of the switch actuator in order to complete a circuit to the passive entry system.

Abstract:
A fastener (24) on a door handle assembly (14) having a door handle (18) is moved by actuation of the door handle (18) into position in which the fastener (24) connects the door handle assembly (14) to the door. The door handle (18) is preferably capable of transmitting door handle actuation force to the fastener (24) to move the fastener (24).
Abstract:
In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, a fastener on a door handle assembly having a door handle is moved by actuation of the door handle into a position in which the fastener connects the door handle assembly to the door. The door handle is preferably capable of transmitting door handle actuation force to the fastener to move the fastener. In one preferred embodiment, this force is transmitted by camming action against a sliding member to which the fastener is connected. In another embodiment, this force is transmitted by pulling a sliding member with links connected to the handle. The movable fastener can connect with a second fastener connected to the door handle assembly or to the door. Therefore, when the movable fastener is moved by actuation of the handle, the movable fastener can connect with the second fastener to secure the door handle assembly to the door.
