Abstract: The present invention discloses a clutch assembly which is comprised of (1) a cam plate which includes cams which are spaced about a central axis; (2) a rocker plate which includes at least one pocket, wherein the pocket includes a first rocker plate engagement surface and a second rocker plate engagement surface; and (3) at least one rocker which is pivotally situated within the pocket of the rocker plate, (4) a first solenoid, and (5) a second solenoid, wherein the solenoids can be activated or deactivated to allow for the clutch to be in a neutral position (to allow for free rotation in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions), to prevent rotation in a clockwise direction while allowing for free rotation in a counterclockwise direction, or to prevent rotation in a counterclockwise direction while allowing for free rotation in a clockwise direction.
Abstract: An overriding drive for an overriding steering system, wherein a steering angle inputted by the driver can be overridden by another angle by a control according to correcting variables and the transmission ratio can be modified, and which is characterized in that the overriding drive is locked electromechanically in dependence on further correcting variables representative of an operating state of the vehicle.

Abstract: A device for frictional inter-engagement between two mutually movable parts (13, 14). A lever mechanism exerts counter-directed pressing forces towards both parts to transfers movement between them. A lever (25) has a free lever end (27) contacted by a first (13) of the parts, and opposite to the free end a part-cylindrical convex surface (31) journalled in a part-cylindrical concave bearing surface (33). In order to eliminate the risk of jamming of the lever due to excessive surface pressure, it is journalled with rolling bodies, preferably cylindrical bodies (34).
