Abstract: A door handle for a vehicle door of a motor vehicle includes a carrier plate, a handle cavity, and an extendable handle part. At least one lighting device arranged in/on the carrier plate or on the handle part is provided with at least one lighting element and/or a light guide element. The handle part is adjustable between a retracted non-use position, a partially extended intermediate position, and an extended use position. The at least one lighting element and/or the at least one light guide element, when the handle part is in its partially extended intermediate position, at least partially illuminates a gap present between the handle part and the handle cavity. When the handle part is extended, at least one lighting element and/or the at least one light guide element illuminates at least parts of the handle part, of the handle cavity, and/or of an area surrounding the handle part.

Abstract: A door lock arrangement of a vehicle door of a vehicle includes a first closing element arranged in a lock mouth of the vehicle door and a second closing element arranged on a body of the vehicle. The first and second closing elements can be brought into positive-locking engagement with each other to hold the door on the body. A damping device absorbs kinetic energy of the door during a closing movement of the door within a predetermined limit opening angle of the vehicle door relative to the body and slows down the closing movement of the door. The damping device has an impact element arranged on the door in a displaceable manner relative to the door or on the body in a displaceable manner relative to the body. The impact element is connected to an actuator, which applies a pre-tensioning force of the door directed in an opening direction of the door while the first and second closing elements are engaged with each other.

Abstract: A vehicle door arrangement includes a first closing element arranged on a vehicle door and a second closing element arranged on a bodywork of the vehicle. The first and closing elements can be connected to each other in a positive looking manner to hold the door on the bodywork. A door handle is connected to a sensor for detecting a pressure input or a pulling input of a user on the door handle. The sensor is connected to a control unit, which controls a locking actuator and a door opening actuator. The locking actuator separates the first and second closing elements, and the door opening actuator opens the vehicle door relative to the bodywork. The control unit controls the locking actuator to separate the first closing element and the second closing element in response to a detected pressure input or pulling input, and to control the door opening actuator to open the door relative to the bodywork.

Abstract: The invention relates to the field of arrestin mutants, especially mutants of beta-arrestin, a complex of the mutant beta-arrestin and a G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), and a vector encoding the mutant beta-arrestin.

Abstract: Flexible printing plates are produced by a printing plate producing machine and then transferred at a transfer station to a series of grippers mounted on an endless roller chain and which can be swiveled and opened by cooperating connecting links to engage the printing plates. The printing plates are then brought to an unloading station where the grippers are pneumatically opened in a receiving head and the printing plates are dropped into a plate stacker for guiding the printing plates into a series of bins.
