Abstract: A valve apparatus, in particular for a cooling system of a vehicle, includes a housing having at least two fluid connectors, a valve device which can be adjusted at least between a first valve position and a second valve position, and a drive for adjusting the valve device between the first valve position and the second valve position. The valve apparatus includes a fail-safe adjustment device in order to transfer the valve device from the first valve position into the second valve position in the event of an incident in which the power supply, in particular that of the vehicle, is interrupted.

Abstract: An electromagnetic structure of an electric machine, in particular an adjustment drive of a motor vehicle, has a plurality of coils which are arranged to form a circular structure. Each of the coils has a coil winding and a connection. The coils are respectively electrically connected in pairs by way of a conductor bridge which is in contact with the respective connections. Each conductor bridge is arranged at an axial distance from the associated coils, each conductor bridge being arranged at least partially in a receiving element of a guiding plate.

Abstract: In order to enable switching electric currents with a part of a human hand for an accessory of a firearm having a firearm handle, that firearm handle is complemented with an arcuate member, which is formed in similarity to a portion of that human hand in a clenched position at the mentioned part. An electric switching device on that arcuate member is at a location corresponding to the mentioned part of the human hand in its clenched position. The arcuate member may be provided with a mount. A bidirectional electric circuit extends along or through the arcuate member and may extend along or through the mount to and from the electric switching device.

Abstract: The teeth of the sun pinion, planet wheels and hollow wheel have a profile correction changing continuously along the gear width and varying in opposite directions between the meshing gears. The sun pinion, hollow wheel and planet carrier are so mounted as to be fixed in the axial direction, whereas the planet wheels, allowed to slide individually in the axial direction on their stub shafts rigid with the planet carrier, are responsive to the axial force exerted by cup springs and mounted for swivel movement within predetermined limits on pendulum bearings. Furthermore, all the wheels, pinion and hollow wheel have crowned teeth.

Abstract: Apparatus for securing vibration sensitive equipment relative to a support comprising a rigid structure having an outer surface for attachment of the vibration sensitive equipment, a hollow interior and a wall portion between the outer surface and the hollow interior. This structure is rigidly attachable to the support. The hollow interior contains at least two dynamic damping systems having different resonance characteristics. Each dynamic damping system comprises a damping mass elastically mounted in spaced relationship to the wall portion.
