Abstract: The invention relates to a drive device (1) having an annular stator unit (10), an annular rotor unit (30) and a base plate (50). The stator unit (10) has at least three coils (11) having coil cores (12) and coil bobbins (13). The rotor unit (30) has a bearing unit (31), the coils (11) forming a receiving space (14) in the stator unit (10). According to the invention, the coil cores (12) and the bearing unit (31) stand on the base plate (50). The invention also relates to a spin window (100) having such a drive device (1), a pane (110) being arranged on the rotor unit (30).

Abstract: An optical monitoring system serves to monitor surroundings, having a monitoring apparatus, the visual or scanning field of which is captured by a lens, and a protection panel (112) which protects the lens from precipitation and covers at least the visual or scanning field of the monitoring apparatus. In order to avoid the signal quality of the monitoring apparatus being impaired by precipitation on the protection panel, it is proposed that the protection panel (12; 112; 218; 318) is acoustically coupled to at least one ultrasonic transducer (10). The optical monitoring system can be included into the control system of a vehicle for autonomous driving, wherein, overall, it is possible to obtain increased safety of the control system.
