Abstract: The invention relates to an adjustment drive of a motor vehicle, wherein the adjustment drive includes a drive motor having a motor magnet that generates a magnetic exciter main field and having a motor armature that is rotatably arranged between a plurality of magnet poles of said motor magnet. The adjustment drive also includes a magneto-sensitive sensor positioned in such a way that during a rotation of the motor armature it senses a change in a magnetic flux density of the exciter main field.

Abstract: An anti-pinch sensor (10,13,40,45) with an associated evaluation circuit (33,48) is disclosed, which is suitable in particular for recognizing an obstacle in the way of an actuating element (e.g., 9) of a motor vehicle (1). The anti-pinch sensor (10,13,40,45) comprises a sensor body, which contains a sensing electrode (17), for generating an external electric field with respect to a counter-electrode (25), and a pressure sensor (34,34?) decoupled from the sensing electrode (17), for detecting a mechanical pressure.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for the position-dependent control of a mobile element in a motor vehicle, wherein the element is movable in a drive movement by an electrically powered positioning device, wherein the positioning device has several different operational modes, and characteristics of a drive signal of the positing device, in particular a waviness of a drive current, are used for the determination of the position of the element. According to the invention, a characteristic variable, which influences the drive movement of the positioning device, and/or a specific value, which characterizes the positioning device, are evaluated for the determination of an error value of the determined position of the mobile element, and that the operating modes of the positioning device are controlled in dependence of the determined error value.

Abstract: A sensor system for a crush protection device is disclosed. The system monitors an agitation of a vehicle part with a sensor. The sensor is arranged to detect an object being crushed between an active vehicle part and a body section or another vehicle part. The sensor has a layered formation. The sensor is applied on the active vehicle part and either or both of the body section of the vehicle and the additional vehicle part. Additionally, the sensor is adjusted to the shape of the active vehicle part and either or both of the body section and the additional vehicle part.

Abstract: A switch to be mounted on a design element in the passenger room of a motor vehicle includes a haptic element that functions as a mechanical operater and a visual element. Electrical and/or electronic switch elements are mounted on a flexible conductor element and optionally further electrical and electronic components. A zone of the flexible conductor element which carries the switch elements and an allocated zone of the haptic element are configured such that the corresponding zones can be positioned and fixated in relation to one another and do not establish a permanent electrical connection.
