Abstract: A method of properly aligning a sliding side door on a vehicle includes first preparing a prototype vehicle and determining how far out of alignment the door is to the body of the prototype vehicle. This amount of misalignment is then used to adjust the attachment position of an anchor plate to a sliding side door of the vehicle, so that the anchor plate is attached at a desired position to the production vehicle, which causes there to be no misalignment between the sliding side door and the body of the production vehicle. A jig is used to hold the anchor plate at the desired location while welding the anchor plate to the door. A roller assembly is then attached to the anchor plate and to a rail on a body of the vehicle.

Abstract: A latch member for full opening includes a latch member for full opening that operates a latch claw into an engagement position or a non-engagement position with a striker. The latch member for full opening is configured of a first member on a sliding door side of a turning shaft, and is configured of a second member operated by the first member on a vehicle body side of the turning shaft.

Abstract: An asymmetric latch configuration for a dual sliding door system in a motor vehicle is disclosed. The dual sliding door system includes a front sliding door and a rear sliding door. One of the two doors is configured with a single latch that secures to a latch striker on the vehicle body. The other of the two doors is configured with three latches that secure to three associated latch strikers on the vehicle body. The sliding doors may also include overlapping lateral edges that reduce lateral separation during a collision.

Abstract: A system for preventing sliding vehicle doors from opening during collisions is disclosed. The system includes at least one roller assembly of a sliding door connected to a guiderail on a vehicle body. The roller assembly includes a protruding member that interfaces with a protrusion engaging member attached to the vehicle body. During normal operation, the protruding member clears the protrusion engaging member. During a collision in which the sliding door is pushed laterally outwards, the protruding member contacts the protrusion engaging member and stops the outward motion of the sliding door. In some cases, a vehicle includes corresponding protruding members and protrusion engaging members for both an upper roller assembly and a lower roller assembly of a sliding door.

The latch member for full opening is configured of a first member on a sliding door side of a turning shaft, and is configured of a second member operated by the first member on a vehicle body side of the turning shaft.

Abstract: A wall surface of a reinforcing bracket is provided with engagement holes (engaged portions) on a front side and a rear side, respectively. A lower arm of a front door and a lower arm of a rear door are each provided with an engagement projection (engaging portion) that engages with an engagement hole when the front door and the rear door fully close.

Abstract: As described above, in a vehicle control system, in a predetermined condition where a vehicle peripheral condition recognizing unit recognizes a condition where a first user who has been in a vehicle leaves the vehicle and where an in-vehicle condition recognizing unit recognizes a condition where a second user is present in the vehicle, an alarm control unit performs alarm processing on at least one of inside the vehicle and outside the vehicle by using a notification function of the vehicle according to a detection result of a door open/close detection unit.

Abstract: A wireless earphone includes: a sensor which serves as both of an antenna configured to transmit and receive a radio signal wirelessly to and from an external device and a pad configured to receive an input manipulation of a wearer; a radio circuit configured to perform various kinds processing relating to the radio signal; and a control circuit configured to perform various kinds processing on the basis of the input manipulation. The wireless earphone further includes a capacitance element connected between the radio circuit and the sensor and between the control circuit and the sensor, the capacitance element being connected to a ground conductor in series to pass only the radio signal.

Abstract: An embodiment of the invention is to provide a route guidance system including: a route search unit that searches a route from a departure point to a destination point; and a route guidance unit that guides a user to the searched route, the route guidance system further including: a state acquisition unit that acquires user state information regarding a state of the user; and a search condition determination unit that determines, based on the user state information acquired by the state acquisition unit, a search condition of the route, the route search unit being configured to search for the route based on the search condition.

Abstract: As described above, in a vehicle control system, in a predetermined condition where a vehicle peripheral condition recognizing unit recognizes a condition where a first user who has been in a vehicle leaves the vehicle and where an in-vehicle condition recognizing unit recognizes a condition where a second user is present in the vehicle, an alarm control unit performs alarm processing on at least one of inside the vehicle and outside the vehicle by using a notification function of the vehicle according to a detection result of a door open/close detection unit.

Abstract: A large diameter portion is provided on one side of a closing side drum in an axial direction, a small diameter portion having a diameter gradually decreasing from the large diameter portion to the other side of the closing side drum is provided on the other side of the closing side drum, a partition wall disposed between adjacent small diameter cable grooves in the axial direction of the closing side drum to prevent a closing side cable from slipping out of the small diameter cable grooves is provided in the small diameter portion. Accordingly, the thick partition wall provided in the small diameter portion can reliably prevent the closing side cable from slipping out (derailing) from the small diameter cable grooves even when a winding position of the closing side cable on the closing side drum is changed and transferred from the large diameter portion to the small diameter portion.

Abstract: A drive unit is configured such that a closing side drum and an opening side drum are provided parallel to each other. In a state in which a closing side cable is wound around a small diameter portion of the closing side drum and an opening side cable is wound around a small diameter portion of the opening side drum, the sliding door moves from a predetermined position relative to an opening portion to a position where the opening portion is fully closed, and, in the state in which the closing side cable is wound around a large diameter portion of the closing side drum and the opening side cable is wound around a large diameter portion of the opening side drum, the sliding door moves from the predetermined position relative to the opening portion to a position where the opening portion is fully open.
