Abstract: An actuating drive for an air passage apparatus for engine cooling in a vehicle is provided. The actuating drive comprises a drive motor for adjusting the air passage apparatus and a control unit for controlling the drive motor, in which control unit are stored operating parameters for a first operating mode of the drive motor, in order to adjust the air passage apparatus between the open and closed position, as intended. The actuating drive has a drive element which is drivable by the drive motor and a driven element movable along an adjustment path with the drive element for adjusting the air passage apparatus. The drive element and the driven element are coupled together in an operating state for adjusting the air passage apparatus, and are decoupled from each other in another operating state, whereby the driven element is movable with respect to the drive element.

Said sensor comprises an electrode (17), which can be attached to a measuring potential via a signal line (26) and can be positioned opposite a counter-electrode (25) and comprises an evaluation circuit (34) for detecting the capacitance between the electrode (17) and the counter-electrode (25). The electrode (17) is sub-divided into several electrodes (35), each of which has a separate feed line (23) for connection to the measuring potential. An anti-pinch sensor of this type (10, 13, 36) has a high detection sensitivity.

Abstract: In a method for producing a termination of an optical fiber bundle, the optical fiber bundle is combined at one end in a crimping sleeve, and the crimping sleeve is introduced with the end of the optical fiber bundle into a compression device having a crimping tool which matches the end geometry of the optical fiber bundle. Advantageous effects are achieved by the fact that the crimping sleeve is compression molded over the end of the optical fiber bundle with a predetermined crimping force by the crimping tool, and in that the crimping force is regulated during the compression molding process depending on the material of the crimping sleeve. In this case, the compression molding process is begun, carried out and ended depending on the distance, time and/or force by a regulating unit.
