Abstract: An electronic two-wheeler lock includes a latch element movable between an open position and a closed position, a blocking mechanism that blocks the latch element in a latched state against departing from the closed position and releases it for a departure from the closed position in an unlatched state, an electric drive unit configured to move the blocking mechanism into the unlatched state, and a control unit configured to control the drive unit. The two-wheeler lock has a modular structure and includes a drive module and a communication unit, with the drive module including a module housing in which at least the blocking mechanism, the drive unit, and the control unit are received. The control unit is configured to receive control signals from the communication unit in encrypted form and to control the drive unit in response to the control signals.

Abstract: A motor vehicle door latch, in particular a servo latch, which is equipped with a locking mechanism including of a catch and a pawl. Furthermore, a spindle drive with a motor, spindle and spindle nut located thereon is executed at least to close the locking mechanism. The spindle nut impinges the catch at least in the closure direction via a closure lever. The closure lever is simultaneously formed as an opening lever to open the locking mechanism and consequently as a combined closure/opening lever. The combined closure/opening lever impinges either the catch in a closing direction or the pawl in an opening direction dependent on the actuating direction of the spindle drive.

Abstract: The controller detects an operation determined according to a detection result from a handle sensor that detects at least one of contact by, or the approach of, a hand of an operator. The controller performs control so as to actuate a door lock actuation section and unlock the door lock in cases in which the door lock is in a locked state, a pre-registered electronic key has been authenticated by an authentication section, and a predetermined first operation has been detected. The controller performs control so as to actuate a door latch actuation section and release the door latch in cases in which the door lock is in an unlocked state and a predetermined second operation has been detected.

Abstract: A closing device includes a locking mechanism having a rotary latch and at least one pawl for locking the rotary latch and an electric drive. The closing device is advantageous for front hoods or front flaps, which are located in the front as viewed in the typical direction of travel of a motor vehicle. A method for closing a hood includes using the closing device. The closing device enables a purely electrically operated hood lock having locking, opening, and closing functions. The closing device includes a locking mechanism having a control disk, in which at least two components of the closing device can be moved by rotation of the control disk. Thus, for suitable movement of a plurality of components, it is only necessary to rotate the control disk by rotation by an electric drive to be able to close and/or open a door or flap.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a body and a door that is movably mounted to the body. The door has a powered latch and an electrically-powered actuator that extends and retracts a plunger from an inner side of the door. A controller unlatches the powered latch and actuates the electrically-powered actuator such that the plunger contacts the body and pushes the door open. The controller then controls the electrically-powered actuator to retract the plunger while the door is open.

Abstract: A vehicle door lock device, including: a latch unit provided at a vehicle door, selectively adopting an unlatched state in which the vehicle door can be opened, or a latched state in which the vehicle door is maintained in a closed state, and transitioning from the unlatched state to the latched state in a case, in the unlatched state, in which the vehicle door is closed relative to the vehicle body; a mechanical operation unit switching the latch unit from the latched state to the unlatched state by means of at least one of operative parts being operated; an electrical operation unit connected to the mechanical operation unit, and switching the latch unit to the latched state or to the unlatched state, by means of power from a drive unit; and a cancellation unit that releases the connection between the electrical operation unit and the mechanical operation unit.
