Abstract: An actuation device for a motor vehicle, in particular for specifying a braking and/or acceleration request, with a first and a second housing portion is disclosed. The first housing portion includes an actuating surface on a top surface facing away from the second housing portion, or a cover with the actuating surface is arranged on the top surface. The housing portions are connected to each other by a hinge. An axis of rotation of the hinge is arranged laterally spaced apart from the actuating surface.

Abstract: An actuation device for a motor vehicle, in particular for specifying a braking and/or acceleration request, includes a first housing portion which is slidably mounted on a second housing portion in a vertical extension of the second housing portion. The first housing portion includes an actuating surface on a top surface facing away from the second housing portion, or a cover having the actuating surface is arranged on the top surface. The first housing portion includes a bar-shaped projection on an inner side facing the second housing portion. Further, the second housing portion includes a guide receptacle for the projection for the guided, slidable mounting of the first housing portion on the second housing portion.

Abstract: A sensor arrangement for an actuation device of a motor vehicle is disclosed which has a force transfer element and which can be assigned or is assigned in particular to an actuating surface of the actuation device for transferring an actuating force applied to the actuation device, in particular on the actuating surface. The sensor arrangement further has a measuring head arranged in a printed circuit board. The measuring head has a measuring membrane. The measuring membrane has a force sensor element at one end and is assigned to the force transfer element at the other end, in particular abutting the force transfer element.

Abstract: A stabilized LiDAR system and a method for stabilization. The LiDAR system includes a laser, the laser being designed for emission of monochromatic LiDAR radiation within a wavelength working range; a thermocouple element configured to set the working temperature of the laser; a means for evaluation, designed to determine, from the radiation emitted by the laser, a measure for the deviation from an actual wavelength of the radiation to a setpoint wavelength within the wavelength working range of the laser; and a means for regulation, designed to control the thermocouple element on the basis of the measure of deviation determined by the means for evaluation, in such a way that the working temperature of the laser is set to a value, at which the emitted monochromatic LiDAR radiation corresponds to the setpoint radiation.

Abstract: A device for contactless transmission of data and energy and for angle measurement, including a first disk-shaped unit and a second disk-shaped unit, which move in relation to one another around a shared rotational axis and are opposite to one another axially spaced apart with respect to the rotational axis. The first disk-shaped unit including a first annular disk-shaped recess, and the second disk-shaped unit including a first annular disk-shaped recess, which is opposite to the first annular disk-shaped recess of the first disk-shaped unit radially spaced apart with respect to the rotational axis. The first disk-shaped unit includes at least one second annular disk-shaped unit situated concentrically to the first annular disk-shaped recess of the first disk-shaped unit, and the second disk-shaped unit includes at least one second annular disk-shaped recess situated concentrically to the first annular disk-shaped recess of the second disk-shaped unit.

Abstract: A method for controlling an emitted light output of a light source of an optical sensor system, in which a portion of the emitted light output is represented in an electrical signal, a characteristic variable of the signal representing a pulse energy of an emitted light pulse is determined, and a control signal for the light source is provided using the characteristic variable and a setpoint value of the characteristic variable.
