Abstract: An electrical drive unit for a vehicle includes a number of structurally independently designed electrical machines. In each of the electrical machines there is a machine output shaft configured to provide a machine torque, and in each of the electrical machines there is inserted in a receiving region assigned to it and is connected to the receiving unit. The number of the inserted electrical machines is predetermined as a function of a specified value, which is prespecified in advance for an output-side characteristic quantity of the drive unit to be constructed. The number of the inserted electrical machines is between 1 and a maximum number. The electrical drive unit also includes a common main shaft, via which the drive unit is configured to provide a drive unit torque on the output side, and a coupling element, via which the machine output shafts are operationally connected on the driving side to the main shaft to input the machine torques.

Abstract: A camera system for a motor vehicle is described. Incident radiation is guided to a radiation receiving unit by means of one or more deflecting mirrors, where at least one deflecting mirror is configured to swivel. The swivelable deflecting mirror has a first mirror side, which is suitable for deflecting incident radiation, and a second mirror side, which is also suitable for deflecting incident radiation. The second mirror side exhibits a curvature shape that is different from that of the first mirror side. The swivelable deflecting mirror can be oriented in such a manner that incident radiation can be guided to the receiving unit by selecting one of the first or the second mirror side as an effective mirror surface.
