Abstract: A motor vehicle lock for a flap of a motor vehicle. The motor vehicle lock is equipped with a lock catch for engaging with a closing part in a holding manner and a pawl which is paired with the lock catch and which locks an opening of the lock catch in the lowered position and releases the lock catch in a raised position, wherein the motor vehicle lock has an electric closing drive and a control assembly, wherein the control assembly actuates the closing drive in a closing routine so as to move the lock catch in the closing direction from a starting position. The control assembly actuates the closing drive in the closing routine so as to move the lock catch from the starting position into a delay position in order to carry out a delay action and then move the lock catch into the main closing position.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a frictionally locking arrangement for a drive, which drive has an advancing gear mechanism, the frictionally locking arrangement having a carrier and at least one frictionally locking unit. In some embodiments at least one frictionally locking unit has a frictionally locking lever which is mounted with a first lever end pivotably on the carrier, which frictionally locking lever, on a first lever section which is spaced apart from the first lever end, has a force introduction device which is mounted on the carrier and is configured to introduce a force into the frictionally locking lever in a manner which is spaced apart from the first lever end, and which frictionally locking lever, on a second lever section which is arranged between the first lever end and the first lever section, has a first frictional element.

Abstract: Hermetically sealed fiber optic cables (LW) are conducted through an insulator column consisting of several hollow insulators. The fiber optic cables (LW) are fastened to a support element (TE), whose one end is connected to the reference potential and whose other end is connected to a high voltage. The support element (TE) is characterized by a surface having only limited electrical conductivity. This assures that, as a result of the even field strength distribution thus guaranteed, no impermissibly high voltages are impressed on the fiber optic cable (LW). A non-conductive tube (GV) for conveying gas is wound around the support element (TE).
