Abstract: Provided is a device unit, including a module, which can configure the device unit with an operating state from among different operating states during the start-up process and/or during ongoing operation of the device unit, wherein a first protected operating state of the different operating states is designed to allow the execution of at least one operating process which can be predefined and to optionally protect the operating process by means of defined cryptographic means, wherein at least one second operating state of the different operating states is designed to deactivate the first protected operating state and to allow at least one other changeable operating process and to optionally protect the operating process by means of specifiable cryptographic means.

Abstract: An internal rotor motor, in particular an electronically commutated internal rotor motor, has a multi-pole stator (28) and a rotor lamination stack (37; 52, 54, 56) mounted rotatably relative to said stator; furthermore a central bore is provided in the rotor lamination stack, the rotor lamination stack comprising individual laminations (41) whose respective central openings (47) comprise radially inwardly projecting first portions or tabs (50) into which a rotor shaft (18) is press-fitted, and said central openings (47) comprise, in angular sectors between the first portions (50), second portions (51) that, in the assembled state, are spaced away from the outside of the shaft (18), at least some (axially central) ones of the individual laminations (41) of the rotor lamination stack (52) being arranged with an angular offset from one another.
