Abstract: An arrangement of a steering device is provided for use with a steering system of a vehicle, which includes a rigid steering part and a rotatable steering part. The arrangement includes a steering wheel coupled to the rotatable steering part via a transmission, and a motor configured to rotate the rotatable steering part. The transmission includes a first machine element, a second machine element, and a third machine element. The first machine element is rotationally connected to the rotatable steering part, the second machine element is rotationally connected to the steering wheel, and the third machine element couples the first machine element to the second machine element. The third machine element is mounted for rotation about an axis of rotation, wherein the axis of rotation is arranged rigidly relative to the rigid steering part.

Abstract: The invention relates to a form element (1), an arrangement comprising such a form element (1) and a method for forming at least part of a formwork for a concrete part using this form element (1), wherein the form element (1) is flexibly three-dimensionally deformable in its first state, and wherein the form element (1) is stiffened and solidified in its second state, in particular in a deformed position of the form element (1), wherein the form element (1) comprises at least two flexible layers (2), which are arranged superimposed in a planar manner, and wherein the layers (2) are connected to each other, in particular reversibly, in the second state to solidify the form element (1).

Abstract: A device for controlling the atmosphere in a space (16) which is partly delimited by at least one glass component (12, 13; 61) and which is separated from the environment (17, 18), with at least one connection between the space and the environment, and with at least one electrically actuatable valve (32, 33; 47, 48) associated with the connection, which valve is connected to an electric control unit (24); the valve (32, 33; 47, 48) is arranged in a connecting passage (34) within a member (15A) delimiting the space (16), namely in the case of an insulating glass assembly (11), a connecting ledge (15) arranged between two glass panes (12, 13) or, in the case of a lamp (60), in a socket (64), and the control unit (24) provided for an automatic actuation of the valve is also arranged in said member (15A).

Abstract: A fiber optic switching apparatus for switching electrical loads is comprised of a switching box, an optical cable, and an electronic adapter. The switching box consists of an internal housing attached to the front panel of an external housing, and an actuator and a fitting for holding the optical cable. The internal housing consists of an optical switching module that includes a fiber aligning unit and a shutter with filtering means; the filtering means can slide in a narrow gap in the fiber alignment unit which has illuminating and detecting fibers; the shutter is mechanically connected to the actuator. The fibers are terminated in a fiber optic connector that is located outside the internal housing. The electronic adapter consists of a light illuminating and a light detecting means which are operated by a microcontroller providing output to a switching means that switches electrical loads.
