Abstract: A system for managing opening and closing a pocket door includes a spindle, an actuator, and brackets. The spindle extends along a longitudinal axis between first and second ends, and is configured to be coupled to the pocket door. The actuator is coupled to the spindle and is configured to cause the spindle to move axially along the longitudinal axis. The brackets are connected to the spindle at each end and are constrained from longitudinal motion relative to the spindle. The brackets are configured to affix the spindle to the pocket door. A bushing system couples each bracket to the spindle and is configured to dampen impact between the spindle and the brackets. For example, the bushing system may include lobed elements, made of a rubber material, that engage each other to transmit azimuthal forces. In some embodiments, another actuator is included to improve cycle life and redundancy.

Abstract: A system for managing door operation of a vehicle includes a door system and a doorjamb system configured for the door to close against. The door system includes a door having a handle mechanism, an indicator mechanism coupled to the handle mechanism and actuated by motion of the handle mechanism, and a latch feature configured to be engaged for latching the door closed. The doorjamb system includes a sensor configured to generate a sensor signal indicative of a state of the indicator mechanism, and a latching mechanism configured to secure and release the latch feature of the door. Control circuitry of the vehicle is coupled to the sensor and latching mechanism, and is configured to receive the sensor signal, and control the latching mechanism based on the sensor signal. The control circuitry determines state information for the vehicle and determines whether to secure or release the latch mechanism.

Abstract: Methods and system are disclosed that determine anomalies in the source code in a procedural program paradigm. In one aspect, an input to analyze source code may be received via an integrated development environment. Upon receiving the input, a source code analyzer model may be instantiated at a framework. Based on decision logic associated with the procedural programming paradigm, the source code may be analyzed by the instantiated source code analyzer model at the framework. In response to the analysis, anomalies associated with the source code may be determined at the framework. Upon determining the anomalies, a user interface model may be instantiated at the framework. The instantiated user interface model may provide a user interface that may display a list of solutions in response to the determined anomalies in the source code. An end user may select the solution that may be inserted into the source code.

Abstract: A vehicle liftgate system comprises an outer panel that includes a Class A surface and a sole lamp opening extending for a first horizontal distance that greater than half, but less than all, of a width of the outer panel. The liftgate system further comprises a reinforcement having a perimeter corresponding to a perimeter of the lamp opening and configured to accommodate at least one lamp assembly.

Abstract: An assembly for use with a vehicle sliding door 12 which includes a first wheel 24, which is movably disposed within a first track 40 located on the vehicle and having a ramped portion 44, and a second wheel 32 which is movably disposed within a second track 60. The assembly includes a brake pad 62, which is disposed within the second track 60, which frictionally engages the second wheel 32, and which cooperates with the ramped portion 44 to hold door 12 in an open position.

Abstract: A door bumper assembly for an automotive vehicle sliding door has an adjustable bumper head with a door face for mating with a door inner surface when the door is in a closed position to provide a predetermined lateral load to the door. A bumper base is mounted between the bumper head and a vehicle body surface at a rearward end of a door track and has a hinge face for contacting a door hinge to prevent door rearward longitudinal movement when the door is moved to a fully open position. A bolt threaded on both ends is attached on a first end to the bumper head to allow lateral adjustment with respect to the bumper base, and passes through the bumper base for attachment on a second end to a vehicle body portion.

Abstract: In an automotive vehicle having a body opening closable by a sliding door, a door bumper wedge for restraining longitudinal and lateral movement of the sliding door has a wedge member attached to a door mating surface of the body opening, a receptacle member attached on a body mating edge of the sliding door defining a receptacle pocket, a pair of flexible, opposed prongs extending from the receptacle member a predetermined distance into the receptacle pocket, and a bumper member positioned within the receptacle pocket.
