  • Patent number: 9272645
    Abstract: An adjusting apparatus for a comfort element swingable in relation to a support structure, in particular for an armrest of a vehicle, includes a latching device actuatable by adjusting the comfort element and having a latching arm connected to the comfort element and a latching lever interacting with the latching arm. A swing position of the comfort element is locked by providing a locking lever which is swingably articulated to the latching arm and has an engagement portion which locks the swing position by a spring force, when the engagement portion assumes an engagement position with a locking portion of a locking element that is fixed to the support structure, and the swing position of the comfort element is unlocked by an actuator by which the locking lever is disengageable from the engagement position with the locking element.

  • Patent number: 9263247
    Abstract: In various embodiments, a lamp has a bulb with a pinch seal, which holds a light-emitting element by means of a wire clip. The wire clip consists of tungsten and has, at an end remote from films embedded in the pinch seal, an eyelet for holding the light-emitting element. An end of the wire clip which is close to a film is bent back. A film associated with the wire clip is folded in a roof-shaped manner. Overall, it is thus possible to realize a lamp with a long life.

  • Patent number: 6636727
    Abstract: A phase locked loop system for tuning the reception frequency of a receiver for digitally modulated received signals and analog-modulated received signals has at least one voltage controlled oscillator for producing an oscillator signal for a reception frequency tuning. A first frequency divider is provided for dividing the frequency of the oscillator signal to a nominal comparison frequency as a function of a receiving channel selection signal. A second frequency divider is provided for dividing a reference frequency as a function of a reception mode switching signal. A phase comparison circuit is provided for comparing the signals supplied by the frequency dividers in order to produce a tuning voltage for the voltage controlled oscillator wherein the gain of the phase comparison circuit is adjustable in order to optimize the phase noise.
