  • Publication number: 20230265896
    Abstract: A shifting device (1) for the powertrain of a motor vehicle, including a control shaft (10) for adjusting a control element (9), the control shaft (10) has a first sub-section (15) which can be driven by an actuator (36) and a second sub-section (16) which is designed to adjust the control element (9). The first sub-section (15) is rotatably mounted relative to the second sub-section (16). A spring element (11), via which a torque of the first sub-section (15) can be transmitted to the second sub-section (16), is provided between the two sub-sections (15, 16).

  • Patent number: 8728171
    Abstract: The invention relates to an orthopedic foot device with a connection part for the lower leg, a swivel joint (5) acting as an ankle joint (7) by means of which a foot part (10) is rotatably connected in the direction of dorsiflexion and the direction of plantar flexion to the connection part, with a damping arrangement (17) influencing the rotational movement about the swivel joint (5), with a sensor arrangement for detecting action states of the orthopedic foot part, and with a control unit connected to the sensor arrangement which controls the damping arrangement (17). The object is achieved by the fact that the sensor arrangement has an ankle-angle sensor which measures the angle between the connection part and the foot part (10), an absolute-angle sensor (20) relating to the plumb line and a moments sensor (21) for determining the torque on the ankle joint (7) or a force effecting a torque on the ankle joint (7).
