Abstract: A door entry system for a vehicle is provided. The door entry system for a vehicle includes a door, an actuator, a puddle lamp generating light beam, a light sensor configured to sense reflected light from the light beam, and a controller processing a light signal generated by the light sensor and controlling activation of the actuator to open the door in response to sensing a user entering the beam of light.

Abstract: An item holding assembly for a vehicle is disclosed herein. The assembly includes a bin that defines an inner cavity. A holder assembly is pivotally coupled to the bin and comprises a support feature and a holder feature coupled to the support feature. The holder assembly is configured to pivot into the inner cavity, which is defined by the bin, from a stowed position to an open position. The holder feature is operable to translate relative to the support feature between a retracted position and an extended position.

Abstract: An EPAS assembly 10 is provided, including a steering input shaft 16 and a pinion shaft 18. The steering input shaft 16 includes at least input shaft pin 36 and the pinion shaft 18 includes at least one pinion pin 38. The pins 36, 38 reside respectively within at least one helical slot 32 and at least one axial slot 34 formed within a sleeve element 28. The sleeve element 28 translates differences in rotation between the steering input shaft 16 and the pinion shaft 18 into linear motion. A torque sensor 20 registers the linear motion of the sleeve element 28 and uses it to control power assist to the pinion shaft 18.
