Abstract: The present invention relates to a control unit for controlling the motor drive for a sunblind, comprising:—an electric drive motor with which the sunblind can be driven;—an electric power supply; and—a universal, programmable microcontroller connected to the power supply and provided with:—at least one input port for receiving first operating signals according to a first signal protocol and/or for receiving second operating signals according to a second protocol differing from the first protocol, and—a control port coupled to the drive motor for transmitting to the drive motor a control signal with which the drive motor can be switched on and off; wherein the microcontroller is adapted to receive an incoming operating signal, to determine the protocol followed by the operating signal, to convert the operating signal into the correct control signal for the drive motor, and to transmit the control signal to the drive motor.

Abstract: A window covering operating unit including a stationary mountable first profile, a stationary mountable second profile, a profile movable between the first and second profile; and window covering material which is mountable between the movable profile and the first or second profile, wherein the window operating unit includes a first rotatable winding shaft which is arranged in a stationary profile and on which can be wound and unwound a first winding cord engaging on the movable profile and wherein the window operating unit further includes a second rotatable winding shaft which is arranged in a stationary profile and on which can be wound and unwound a second winding cord engaging on the movable profile, wherein the second winding shaft extends adjacently of and substantially parallel to the first winding shaft.

Abstract: A remote control system, has a transmitter and a battery-powered receiver adapted for wirelessly receiving and processing information from the transmitter. The receiver has a receiving section adapted to be periodically switched ON and OFF in the absence of a signal intended for that receiver and to remain switched ON continuously in the presence of a signal intended for that receiver, until that signal falls away. In the presence of a signal intended for that receiver, an adjusting motor is energized for adjusting the tilting position of slats of a blind.

Abstract: An apparatus for adjusting a mirror or a similar flat planar element about two mutually perpendicular axes. The apparatus has a housing enclosing a reversible motor, an electromagnetically operated clutch and two planetary transmission assemblies, one for each direction of movement. The clutch selectively couples the motor to one or the other of the two pinion sun wheels of the planetary transmission systems. The drive shaft of each planetary transmission assembly is provided with crank arm, which engages a corresponding mirror adjustment unit. A mirror mounting plate is provided with recesses into which correspondingly shaped parts of the mirror adjustment units are introduced by snap fitting.

Abstract: An apparatus for adjusting a mirror or a similar flat planar element around two mutually perpendicular axis. The apparatus has a mounting plate for mounting the mirror thereon, the mounting plate being connected to a support by means of a universal joint. On the support is mounted a single reversible electric motor and a transmission system having two planetary gear systems, each having a sun pinion wheel and planet wheels meshing with the sun wheel, the sun wheels of the planetary gear systems being disposed coaxially with the motor shaft. An electromagnetically controlled coupling selectively couples the motor to one or the other of the two pinion sun wheels.
