Abstract: A method supplies a lighting device with electrical energy, wherein the lighting device includes at least two integrated circuits with at least one LED group by a current source associated with this LED group. The method includes generating a supply voltage by a voltage regulator, adjusting a LED group current passing the LED groups by one of the respective current sources , detecting the voltage drops across the current sources, selecting one voltage drop of each integrated circuit as a characteristic voltage drop, generating a control value of the respective integrated circuit, according to the characteristic voltage drop, reducing the control voltage when the control voltage is greater than a control value of the respective integrated circuit, and controlling the output voltage in accordance with the control voltage and/or in accordance with a control bus voltage derived from the control voltage.

Abstract: A window lift for a motor vehicle contains a functional support for at least one guide rail, which slidably guides a rail slider for retaining a vehicle window, and a cable drive device. The cable drive device has an actuating drive and a cable drive housing, into which a cable drum, which can be coupled to the actuating drive and can be rotated about an axis of rotation, is or can be received, around which cable drum a pull cable is or can be wrapped. The cable drive housing has a bottom plate and a number of cylindrical wall elements for receiving the cable drum. The functional support has, at the periphery of a through-opening for the coupling of the cable drum to the actuating drive, a joining contour for establishing a form-locking connection to the cable drum housing when the cable drum is inserted therein.

Abstract: A light puck that attaches to a wire rope tension grid has a top cover with a plurality of slots to receive wire ropes therein and a corresponding bottom cover. There is also a light fixture having a plurality of LEDs disposed between the top cover and the bottom cover, the light fixture aligned with an opening in the bottom cover. A biasing plate is positioned between the light fixture and the top cover and has adjustment screw associated therewith to bias the biasing plate relative to the top cover.

Abstract: A cable drive device of an adjustment system of a motor vehicle has an actuating drive and a cable drive housing in which a cable drum that is rotatably coupled to the actuating drive and has a traction cable wound thereon is received. The cable drum, for receiving a cable nipple fastened to the traction cable, on at least one end side has a nipple chamber having a chamber opening and mutually spaced apart chamber walls. The nipple chamber on at least one of the chamber walls has a delimiting element. The cable nipple when introduced into the nipple chamber by way of the chamber opening engaging below the delimiting element.
