  • Patent number: 10407968
    Abstract: A system for operating a door of a vehicle is disclosed. The system may include an actuator configured to move the door between an open position and a closed position. The system may also include a controller configured to determine a first open-door angle associated with a predetermined first velocity profile, determine a second open-door angle based on the open position relative to the closed position, determine a second velocity profile based on the first open-door angle, the second open-door angle, and the first velocity profile, and control the actuator to operate the door according to the second velocity profile.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6846034
    Abstract: A weather strip for use between a closure panel and the body of a vehicle includes a foundation bulb extending about the periphery of an opening in the body and a contactor bulb supported entirely by the foundation bulb and having a compliance which is less than the compliance of the foundation bulb such that the configuration of the contactor bulb remains relatively invariant as sidewalls of the foundation bulb deform in response to a compressive load imposed by the closure panel and the body opening panel.
