  • Patent number: 11227439
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide remote training in a virtual reality (VR) environment. Multiple users may engage in the session. For example, a trainee may practice or be evaluated in performing a virtual version of a training task. A trainer may join the trainee's session. Embodiments enable the trainer to switch from a third-person perspective viewing the environment to the trainee's first-person perspective to see what the trainee is seeing. Virtual objects may be highlighted to guide the trainee's steps. Some embodiments may configure the training module to be engaged at various points out of order. For example, a user may select a specific point in a training sequence and work from there, replay or forward the environment in time to other points so that the trainee can skip or practice parts of the procedure.

  • Patent number: 5722272
    Abstract: A power operable door latch and lock mechanism for a vehicle having a central locking system includes a power actuator assembly including an actuating lever drivingly connected to blocking means of the mechanism, a main drive motor for selective powered movement of the lever between locked and unlocked positions, a manual locking lever for operative connection to a non-key controlled manually operable element, and a linkage serving to interconnect the manual lever and actuating lever for manual locking and unlocking independently of the drive motor. The linkage includes a sliding length connected at one end to the actuating lever and having a first guide slot accommodating a connecting pin of the linkage. A rocker arm of the manual locking lever has a second guide slot co-acting with the connecting pin with lost motion for selective transmission of movement of the manual lever to the linkage.

  • Patent number: 5586646
    Abstract: Actuator for an electrically operated vehicle door lock has an actuator plunger which is shiftable between first and second positions to lock and unlock the related door latch. The actuator plunger carries a resilient electrical contact element which coacts with one or more fixed contacts on a guide to close one or more respective circuits for operating other parts of the related system and/or signalling the condition of the related lock, such as whether it is locked or unlocked. Preferably the contacts slide into and out of engagement to provide silent operation and self-cleaning wiping action.
