  • Publication number: 20230243199
    Abstract: The proposed solution in particular relates to a method for adjusting an adjusting part (1) on a vehicle (F), wherein an adjustment of the adjusting part (1) is controlled by using an electronic detection device (2) which detects a potential obstacle in an adjustment path of the adjusting part (1) on the basis of at least one first measured value and generates at least one control signal (r(t)) for controlling the adjustment of the adjusting part (1). At least over a defined time period, a curve of the control signal (r(t)) and/or of the first measured value as well as a curve of at least one second measured value (a(t), i(t), v(t)) changing significantly on collision of the adjusting part (1) with an obstacle are stored so as to be read out and correlated with each other for a subsequent plausibility check.

  • Publication number: 20150361711
    Abstract: A method and a system are provided for positioning a vehicle door being movable in an opening direction and a closing direction along a travel path between an open position and a closed position. The system includes a plurality of command units and an electric positioning device, the latter moving the vehicle door using a motor. According to the method, through the use of one or more of the command units, at least one opening command and at least one closing command are created and transmitted to the electric positioning device for causing the electric positioning device to move the vehicle door in the respective opening direction or closing direction. Through the use the electric positioning device, the commands are processed upon receipt by virtue of a given set of priority rules, in dependence on the direction of movement of the vehicle door specified by the respective command.

  • Patent number: 8552715
    Abstract: In order to determine the actuation position of a motor-driven adjusting element of a motor vehicle, a Hall-effect sensor is located in a rotatable magnetic field, wherein a periodic change in the magnetic flux density sensed by the Hall-effect sensor is converted into a binary pulse train in that a pulse transition takes place when an upper switching threshold is positively exceeded and when a lower switching threshold separated from the upper switching threshold by a hysteresis is negatively exceeded. The hysteresis is reduced following an inactive phase of the Hall-effect sensor during which the magnetic field was stationary and/or the Hall-effect sensor was deactivated, if the magnetic flux density at the start of the inactive phase has exceeded the upper switching threshold by no more than a predefined tolerance range.

  • Patent number: 7237912
    Abstract: A method for actuating an electrically dimmable mirror in which a predefined degree of dimming of the mirror is set by charging or discharging the mirror to a predefined setpoint voltage. The method provides for actuating an electrically dimmable mirror in which particularly fast switching over the degree of dimming of the mirror is achieved. In the method, in order to switch over the degree of dimming, a charge voltage is applied to the mirror which exceeds in absolute terms the setpoint voltage which is necessary for the desired degree of dimming, and the setpoint voltage is applied to the mirror after the desired degree of dimming has been attained.
