Abstract: An optical sensor system comprises one or more optical sensor devices, a master device and an electrical bus connecting the sensor devices to the master device. The bus comprises a signal daisy chain for the transmission of synchronization events. The sensor devices are adapted to detect a synchronization event at a signal input terminal, to time an optical activity based on this synchronization event and to provide at a signal output terminal a synchronization event delayed by an offset time with respect to the detected synchronization event. A property of the synchronization events provided by the sensor devices is indicative of an output value of the respective sensor device, corresponding to a state of an optical section to which the sensor is sensitive.

Abstract: The gear unit for use with a manually adjustable electric component has a manually operable adjusting shaft and a reduction gear including a rotatable ball cage and a plurality of balls as well as a race ring element having a spring and retaining portion that encircles the race ring externally. Such a gear unit allows greatly reduced dimensions and furthermore offers a considerable dielectric strength.

Abstract: An enclosure (1) comprising a hollow profile (2) with an open side portion on which a covering plate (3) is watertightly attached, the profile (2) being provided with at least one end closure (4) comprising a watertight sealing (41) disposed at the end of the profile (2). In order to improve the waterproof properties, in particular for an electronic enclosure, by keeping constructional modifications on the enclosure as low as possible, a jamming member (40) is provided inside the sealing (41), the jamming member (40) being adapted to exert a pressing force on at least two opposed side portions (71-76) of the sealing (41) acting in a transverse direction (92, 93) with respect to a plate-adjoining side (48) of the sealing (41) which is disposed adjacent to the covering plate (3).
