Abstract: Described is an actuating mechanism for actuating a cover of a vehicle. The cover is reversibly movable between a closed position where the cover is arranged flush with a vehicle outer shell and an open position where the cover is arranged at least partially or regionally behind the vehicle outer shell. The actuating mechanism comprises a movement mechanism operatively connected to the rear side of the cover. In order to transition the cover from the closed position into the open position proceeding from the closed position of the cover, the movement mechanism moves the cover initially into an intermediate position in a rotational and translational movement in which intermediate position the cover is pivoted relative to the closed position of the cover about a first axis of rotation and is at least partially or regionally offset in comparison to the closed position backwards towards the interior of the vehicle.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an actuating mechanism (100) for actuating covers (102) for vehicles. The actuation mechanism (110) includes: a drive having a drive shaft; and at least one lever arm (101), which is connectable to the cover (102) and is configured so as to tap a rotational movement from the drive shaft when the drive is actuated and convert it into a movement of the cover (102). The lever arm (101) includes a drive surface (111), which communicates with the drive shaft such that a rotation of the drive shaft via the drive surface (111) is transferred to the lever arm (101).

Abstract: A locking device enables locking a charging, fueling, or service flap on a compartment. The flap is reversibly movable between a closed position and an open position. The locking device includes a flap lock for locking the flap in its closed position. The flap lock has a locking position, in which the flap lock locks the flap, and a release position in which the flap is moveable in relation to the flap lock. A first transfer shaft is connected to the flap lock such that the flap lock is moveable by a movement of the first transfer shaft between the locking position and the release position. A pushing element is connected to the first transfer shaft and configured so as to push the flap out of its closed position away from the charging compartment after the flap lock is transferred into its release position.

Abstract: A control circuit for a signal strength information dependant frequency response adaptation of an audio signal for an electrodynamic transducer, with a signal strength information determinator for determining a signal strength information according to a level of the audio signal, and a frequency modifier for frequency selectively modifying the audio signal in response to the signal strength information. The electrodynamic transducer converts the audio signal into a low distortion sound signal for high levels of an audio signal and has a flat frequency response for low levels of an audio signal. A lower frequency range of the audio signal is modified with a gain that is different to a gain of a higher frequency range of the audio signal. A frequency separating the lower frequency range from the higher frequency range is shifted towards higher values for an increasing level of the audio signal and towards lower values for a decreasing level of the audio signal.

Abstract: A method for adapting a score stored in a MIDI file for being reproduced on a mobile terminal to the transfer function of an electroacoustic reproduction circuitry includes test rendering of the score to obtain sampled data prior to a reproduction of the score on the mobile terminal. From these sampled data, one or more values and or combination of values for a desired electroacoustic reproduction on the mobile terminals are identified, and, based on these identified values, one or more parameters suited for adapting the score with respect to the desired or optimised reproduction on the mobile terminal are determined.
