Abstract: A vibratory drive includes a pulse generator and at least one actuator. The actuator includes a first fluid chamber and a second fluid chamber, the volumes of which are adjustable in phase opposition. The first fluid chamber has a fluid connection to a third fluid chamber in the pulse generator. The second fluid chamber has a fluid connection to a fourth fluid chamber in the pulse generator. The third and fourth fluid chambers each have portions that are defined by linearly moveable defining elements. The pulse generator includes a rotor that rotates relative to a first axis of rotation and that defines respective portions of the third fluid chamber and the fourth fluid chamber. The defining elements are linearly moveable in the rotor. The pulse generator includes a coupling element that is separate from the rotor. The defining elements are coupled in their movement to that of the coupling element.

Abstract: A network component has a signal processing device having a processor, at least one voltage source that can be connected to a supply network of the vehicle, and at least one coupling device connected to the signal processing device and the voltage source. Lines of at least one network segment of the vehicle network can be connected to the coupling device for the simultaneous signal connection of the network segment to the signal processing device and for the voltage supply of the network segment by the voltage source. The voltage source is configured such that a voltage ratio between at least one supply voltage provided by the voltage source and the voltage provided by the supply network can be selected from a selection of several predetermined voltage ratios.

Abstract: A method and system for activating at least one temporarily inactive network component of a network system for a vehicle central network device of the network system is connected via signals to the network component by a path inside the network system extending at least partially across a network segment of the network system. The network segment connecting, via signals, the network component and a first activation device associated therewith to a switch device arranged in the path and to a second activation device associated therewith in an unbranched manner. The central network device responds to the first activation device by the switch device by sending a network function control signal.

Abstract: After a release, a screwed connection of a hinge bracket for a vehicle door is to be returned into a precisely preadjusted condition. For this purpose, an alignable thread plate is fixed by an additional fixing screw in an adjusted position in the part to which the hinge bracket is to be screwed. As a result, a released screwed connection of a hinge flange is restored in a simple and secure manner.
