Abstract: A method controls a working platform having at least one distance sensor assigned to a wheel of the working platform. A time of flight of a measuring beam, which represents a beam emitted obliquely onto a track of the working platform by the distance sensor, is determined. The time of flight determined in this manner is compared with a reference time of flight in order to determine a change in the inclination angle of the working platform. A control signal for controlling the working platform is output on the basis of the inclination angle change. As a result, a change in the gradient of a track in front of each wheel is individually determined before the particular wheel travels on the track section with the inclination change.

Abstract: A wobble joint fitting for a vehicle seat has a first joint arm, which carries an internal gear and forms a first bearing surface, which are central to a main axis, and a second joint arm to which an eccentric gear is allocated, which comprises an externally toothed pinion and a second bearing surface. The pinion and the second bearing surface are central to an eccentric axis. An eccentric driving part is disposed in the area between the first bearing surface and the second bearing surface. Clamping parts, in a clamping state, displace the eccentric axis relative to the main axis. The eccentric driving part defines the eccentric. The rotary drive of the eccentric driving part causes a rotation of the pinion relative to the internal gear even without the clamping parts being present, wherein only play compensation is not obtained without the presence of the clamping parts.
