Abstract: A controller and control method for an automatic vehicle door movement control system which includes a plurality of signaling devices and at least one door actuator for opening and closing at least one vehicle door in accordance with an instruction signal from the signaling devices is configured to selectively mask a redundant instruction signal. The redundant instruction signal is an instruction signal received after the receipt of a primary instruction signal and prior to the completion of an automatic door movement operation. The redundant instruction signal is masked when it is determined to be against an ascertained user intent or when the primary instruction signal is determined to be more indicative of the ascertained user intent.

Abstract: Vehicles equipped with sliding doors that undergo powered openings typically are prohibited from opening if the vehicle is in drive. Various modes of door operation are disclosed that safely enable powered operation of a vehicle sliding door regardless of the transmission state of the vehicle.

Abstract: A pyramid shaped rotatable collectible display (PSRCD) provides for the selective viewing of the face, obverse or reverse, of each collectible (commemorative coins, casino chips, minted coins, etc.); displayed independently of each other therein. The PSRCD has four sides possessing multiple receptacles to accommodate the aforementioned collectibles. Each receptacle comprises of a slot to act as a groove, and the collectible a tongue to rest inwardly toward each major pyramid face. One pyramid wall has a dedicated area for personalization for items such as business cards. The PSRCD has a rotating base attached within, which includes an integrated tray for personal items. When compared to any and all displays available for desktops, there are no displays that meet the specifications of this invention—such as the integration of the following: a pyramid shaped collectible display, business card/brass plate/or sticker holder, and a rotating spindle with an integrated personal effects tray.
