Abstract
An automated window mechanism includes a motor attached to a sliding window and a rack on a window frame. A transmission couples the motor to the rack such that rotation of the motor causes the transmission to move the sliding window relative to the rack. The mechanism also includes a clutch switch assembly, that includes a switch and a clutch actuator responsive to the switch and being configured to engage and disengage the motor to the rack. The mechanism also includes a position sensor coupled to the transmission and configured to monitor a position of the sliding window relative to the frame using the transmission. The position sensor continues to monitor the rotational position of the transmission when the transmission is engaged and when the transmission is disengaged.
