Patent number: 11993225Abstract: A system for operating a handleless door of an automobile having an outer surface includes a remotely-controlled door latch, a sensor disposed at at least one of: disposed behind a window seal; assembled on the window seal; and overmolded in the window seal, and configured to sense an input from a user to open the door, the window seal being configured to transmit an input force to the sensor, and an antenna configured to receive a radio signal from a key fob in vicinity of the antenna. The system also includes a passive entry passive start (PEPS) system coupled to the antenna to authenticate the key fob as being associated with the automobile and a controller configured to receive a signal from the sensor indicating the user provided input to open the door, receive an authentication signal from the PEPS system to authenticate the key fob, and cause the remotely-controlled door latch to release based on receiving the signal from the sensor and the authentication signal from PEPS system.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2020Date of Patent: May 28, 2024Assignee: INTEVA FRANCEInventors: Michael Maddelein, Jean-Marc Belmond, Pascal Philippe, Pascal Bonduel

Patent number: 11846125Abstract: The invention relates to a locking device for car doors, especially for car doors without door handles, having an electronic control unit for the authorization of access, which is connected to one or more sensors for a first operating step, i.e. a proximity sensor, a touch sensor etc. and/or an antenna for a wireless communication, i.e. a NFC (near field communication) antenna for NFC-communication with a smart device like a smart card, a mobile phone, a smart watch, a smart key, etc., and a driven mechanical lock/or unlock unit including a latching element for latching the closed door end position. According to the invention, a latching element is provided to block an intermediate position 3 of the car door 1, wherein at least one sensor 5, 5? is accessible and/or active in the intermediate position 3 of the car door 1 for a second operating step and not accessible and/or not, active in the closed end position 2 of the car door.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2021Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignees: INTEVA FRANCE SAS, MARQUARDT GMBHInventors: Andreas Becher, Achim Mink, Oliver Huppenbauer, Jean-Marc Belmond, Pascal Philippe

Patent number: 11838023Abstract: A motor control system includes a variable voltage supply in signal communication with a direct current (DC) motor. The DC motor includes a rotor induced to rotate in response to a drive current generated by a variable supply voltage delivered by the voltage supply. The rotation of the rotor generates a mechanical force that drives a component. A ripple count circuit is configured to filter the drive current based on a rotational speed (?) of the rotor, and to generate a pulsed output signal indicative of the rotational speed (?) of the rotor and a rotational position (?) of the rotor.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: INTEVA FRANCEInventors: François Breynaert, Simon Herpin, Mohamed Benderradji

Patent number: 11705836Abstract: A motor control system includes a variable voltage supply in signal communication with a direct current (DC) motor. The DC motor includes a rotor induced to rotate in response to a drive current generated by a variable supply voltage delivered by the voltage supply. The rotation of the rotor 103 generates a mechanical force that drives a component. A ripple count circuit 104 is configured to filter the drive current based on a rotational speed (?) of the rotor 103 to generate a filtered drive current signal, and to generate a varying threshold based on the filtered drive current signal. Based on a comparison between the filtered drive current signal and the varying threshold, the ripple count circuit 104 generates a pulsed output signal indicative of the rotational speed (?) of the rotor and a rotational position (?) of the rotor.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2022Date of Patent: July 18, 2023Assignee: INTEVA FRANCEInventors: François Breynaert, Simon Herpin

Patent number: 11447987Abstract: An actuator for presenting a handless door of a vehicle. The actuator including: an extendable extension bar supporting a pawl/catch system, the pawl/catch system having an actuator catch that cooperates with a dedicated striker; an actuator housing for housing a motor and a gear train operatively coupled to the motor, the gear train comprising a gear that has an integrated wormscrew; a nut located on the integrated wormscrew that translates linearly on the wormscrew as it is rotated by the motor, wherein movement of the nut causes the extendable extension bar to be moved outwardly and inwardly from the housing.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2019Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: INTEVA FRANCEInventors: Philippe Ottolini, Mathias Barth
