Abstract: An apparatus, comprising a control element, which stops in a stopping position during a recurring sequence of movements, a control device, which is intended for controlling stopping of the control element in the stopping position by at least one control parameter, a detection device for detecting an actual stopping position of the control element at the time of a stopping of the control element, the control device being suitable for forming a difference between the actual stopping position and a desired stopping position of the control element and adapting the control parameter for a subsequent sequence of movements of the control element if the difference exceeds a predetermined desired value.

Abstract: A method for operating a driving-in device for fastening elements comprises a motor operating according to a particular pattern when there are no more fastening elements in a magazine of the driving-in device.

Abstract: A method of controlling a BLDC electric motor having a stator and a rotor, the stator having a plurality of magnet coils, the rotor having a permanent magnet driven by the plurality of magnet coils, comprising a) supplying a voltage to a first of the plurality of magnet coils, b) short-circuiting a second of the plurality of magnet coils during a).
