Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for controlling the feed of polymer melt, which has been discharged from an extruder, to a plastics processing machine formed from at least two subunits (1, 2), to which the polymer melt discharged from the extruder is fed via a distributor (13) which is positioned downstream of the extruder and which serves for splitting up the polymer melt into partial streams corresponding to the number of subunits. According to the invention, the partial streams are each fed to a subunit by means of a gearwheel pump (11, 12). The volume flows fed to the subunits (1, 2), which are of substantially identical design, can be respectively separately controlled in open-loop or closed-loop fashion through control of the drive rotational speed of the respective gearwheel pump (11, 12) in a manner dependent on operating parameters and/or the configuration of the respective subunit (1, 2).

Abstract: In a method of controlling different lighting functions in a vehicle, activation of another one of the lighting functions is dependent on an actual speed of the vehicle, when manually switching from a currently activated one of the lighting functions to the other one of the lighting functions. In particular, when a low beam is automatically activated and a predefined speed is exceeded, activation of a parking light is barred while the low beam remains activated.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a locking system of a motor vehicle wherein, as the states of the locking system, there is an unlocked state, a locked state from which it is possible to switch to the unlocked state via at least a first operating element inside the vehicle, and a security state in which by simply activating a first operating element it is not possible to switch to the unlocked state. The aim of the invention is to propose a method that allows a person inside the motor vehicle to still leave the motor vehicle despite user activation of the security state without substantially easing the opening of the motor vehicle from the outside by an unauthorized third party. Four concepts are proposed that can all be implemented in combination to great benefit. They enable a person still inside the vehicle to leave the motor vehicle upon activation of the security state.
