Abstract: Specified is a brake actuator (12), in particular for an electromechanical vehicle brake (10), having an electric motor (32) for activating the vehicle brake (10), and a blocking module (36) for selectively rotationally blocking an output shaft (38) of the electric motor (32) so as to configure a parking brake function. The blocking module (36) comprises a blocking lever (40) which is mounted so as to be pivotable between a locking position and a releasing position, and a blocking actuator (42) for pivoting the blocking lever (40), wherein configured on the blocking lever (40) is a blocking tooth (44) which in the locking position of the blocking lever (40) engages with a gear wheel coupled to the output shaft (38) of the electric motor (32).

Abstract: A swipe gesture detection device may determine a swipe gesture performed on a moving surface element of a vehicle component. The swipe gesture detection device includes a spring, which applies a pre-loading between the moving surface element and a housing element of the vehicle component. The swipe gesture detection device also includes a contactless measuring distance sensor having at least three sensor elements arranged in different positions for detecting a respective distance between the surface element and the housing element.
