  • Pedal Unit for a Vehicle
    Publication number: 20240174081
    Abstract: A pedal unit for a vehicle has a sensor surface which includes at least two functional regions and is designed to detect an actuation by the driver. The pedal unit also has at least one evaluation and control unit coupled to the sensor surface and designed to evaluate an actuation of one of the at least two functional regions detected by the sensor surface and, as a function of this evaluation, control a vehicle function associated with the corresponding functional region of the sensor surface. At least one region of the sensor surface is raised or lowered and enables a haptic differentiation between the at least two functional regions of the sensor surface.

  • Rotor blade for a rotary wing aircraft
    Patent number: 8162607
    Abstract: A rotor blade including a rotor blade profile including a profile tip region, a profile trailing edge region including a trailing edge and a profile body having a profile core. A covering skin including an upper skin and a lower skin encase the profile core. A reversibly bendable flexural actuator including a first actuator end disposed at the trailing edge region of the rotor blade profile and a second actuator end projecting past the profile body toward the trailing edge. The second actuator end forms part of the trailing edge region and forms a movable rotor blade flap, the movable rotor blade flap being deformable into an arc-shaped rotor blade flap deflection upon a bending of the flexural actuator.
