Abstract: The invention relates to a handle device (1) for a movable part, in particular a door or a lid, of a motor vehicle, which is designed with a, in particular fixed, handle part (10) for actuating the movable part, and a carrier element (20) for fixing the handle part (10) to the movable part.

Abstract: The invention relates to a handle device (1) for a movable part, in particular a door or a lid, of a vehicle, with a, in particular fixed, handle part (10) for actuating the movable part, a carrier element (20) for fixing the handle part (10) to the movable part, wherein a locking cylinder (23) for unlocking the movable part at least in an emergency can be arranged on the carrier element (20), wherein a reinforcing element (13) is provided on the handle part (10), in which the locking cylinder (23) can be received at least partially, and wherein a fixing unit (30) is provided between the handle part (10) and the reinforcing element (13) in order to fix the reinforcing element (13) to the handle part (10) in a form- and/or force-locking manner.

Abstract: A method for monitoring at least the bending strain of at least one electric cable provided with at least one peripheral mechanically non-symmetric strength member is provided.

Abstract: A flat energy cable includes at least one push-pull strength member; a connecting system connected to the outer surface of a cable sheath; and a plurality of magnets connected to the connecting system.

Abstract: An electric cable includes a strain sensor longitudinally extending along the cable and including a strain optical fiber arranged within a bending neutral region surrounding and including a bending neutral longitudinal axis of the electric cable, and at least two longitudinal structural elements, at least one of the at least two longitudinal structural elements being a core including an electrical conductor, wherein the strain sensor is embedded in a strain-transferring filler mechanically coupling at least one of the at least two longitudinal structural elements with the strain sensor. With the disclosed cable construction, the strain experienced by the at least one of the at least two longitudinal structural elements is transferred to the strain sensor at least in a strained condition. In the preferred embodiments, the electric cable is a heavy-duty cable.

Abstract: A method for monitoring the torsion of a cable includes the steps of: providing a cable having an outer surface and extending along a longitudinal direction, the cable being provided with at least one identification tag, preferably an RFID tag, arranged in a tag angular position in a cross-sectional plane taken transverse to the longitudinal direction, the at least one tag storing a tag identification code and being capable of transmitting a tag electromagnetic signal; interrogating the at least one identification tag to receive the tag electromagnetic signal, and detecting the tag electromagnetic signal, wherein the step of detecting the tag electromagnetic signal includes the step of reading the tag identification code and determining the tag angular position of the at least one identification tag. A torsion monitoring system of a cable includes at least one identification tag.
