Abstract: A remotely controllable door lock actuating device has a door strike that is actuated by a solenoid which is controlled by an electrical circuit responsive to a remote energy signal. The electrical circuit causes a solenoid to manipulate the door strike, causing the door strike to move between a door locking position and a door unlocking position. In the door locking position, the door strike engages a conventional spring-biased door bolt. In the door unlocking position, the door strike changes its position to release the bolt. The invention may be powered by household electric current and may include a switch to deactivate it.

Abstract: A ventilator insert to be received within the generally wedged-shaped confine provided by a hinged sunroof glass. The ventilator insert may have a powered impeller to positively move air between the external environment and the vehicle cabin which impeller may be powered by a self-contained power supply connected with a charging source such as a photovoltaic panel and/or the vehicle's own electrical system.

Abstract: A ventilator having a housing with first and second openings is mounted on structure of a vehicle and communicates directly with the vehicle cabin to move air between the vehicle cabin ad the outside environment. The ventilator may be nonportably secured onto the vehicle structure on the windows, panels or the roof and provides a sleek low profile unit having a powered impeller to positively move air between the external environment and the vehicle cabin which impeller may be powered by a self-contained power supply connected with a charging source such as a photovoltaic panel and/or the vehicle's own electrical system. The ventilator may also be portably mounted on a ventilator insert placed within a partially rolled down window or a sunroof to temporarily utilize the circulating effects of the ventilator.
