Abstract:
The invention is directed to a control element, particularly in a central control unit. A magnet clamping system is integrated into a control element in order to render the function “slider setting” unequivocal. In addition to an actuator head that is positioned on a shaft, which is guided in a cylinder, for example, and at least one circuit board having LEDs, the control element includes a magnetic device having a designated magnet, which is functionally connected to the actuator head. When the actuator head is moved vertically by sliding, the magnetic device lifts off the magnet due to tilting, which causes a code disc attached to the actuator head to be brought into an inclined position such that a light flow on the light barriers formed by the LEDs is disrupted and/or opened up. In a further embodiment, this control element also includes press and rotate functions.
Abstract:
A diode mount for an LED (2) with a plug connector (3) and compensating resistor (4) is manufactured by injection molding a one piece housing and mounting an LED and plug connector therein. An electrical connection between the LED and the plug connector, as well as a mechanical fixing, is accomplished by an electrically-conductive paste (5). At the same time, the electrically-conductive paste forms the compensating resistor.
Abstract:
A diagnostic circuit for a potentiometer that connects a load resistor (laboratory resistor) to the slider of the potentiometer to allow a constant comparison of the contact resistance to measured values in the loaded and/or unloaded state when the slider is being adjusted, or when it is being paused at a critical point. This is accomplished by connecting a pull-up resistor to an input of the microprocessor, to which a load resistor is connected, and which is electrically connected to the slider. The slider itself is connected to an additional input of the microprocessor.

An operating element with wake-up functionality for a motor vehicle is provided, wherein a setting of an operating element can be selected by means of a translationally and/or rotationally movable grip, having at least one wiper contact track divided into sectors, having a wiper contact connected directly or indirectly to the grip, wherein the wiper contact is movable over the at least one wiper contact track by means of the grip, having an electronic analysis unit that can be switched off, and having at least one switching means connected to the wake-up electronics unit by means of which the electronic analysis unit of the operating element can be activated, wherein the switching means can be actuated by means of the grip.
Abstract:
A control element is provided with fully integrated control elements with integrated illumination, switching element, and contact set. The functional assignment of the individual control elements in the control panel is accomplished by means of software through a bus system. A universal control panel with complete control elements is thus made available. Along with a drastic reduction in the number of variations, and thus the logistical expenses, later functional expansion of the relevant control panel is possible.

Abstract:
A signal (Snormal) is provided to a heat element of a temperature sensor, which is recorded as a step response (Lruh, Lbew). From the difference of the step response compared with the reaction adaptively determined with the temperature sensor at zero air circulation, air flow or no air flow is determined.

Abstract:
The invention is directed to a control element, particularly for automotive electronics, having programmable haptics. Moments of force or a variation of the friction moments are formed on a control element by dynamically adapting the operative currents of electromagnetic arrays in dependence of the adjustment path. The force/path behavior (tactile feedback) of the control element can be modified at will during use so that the actuation forces for different operative functions can be varied. The tactile feedback of the moments of force on the control element takes by way of a locking piece, which, for example, can be comprised of at least one locking disc and a spring, which can be rendered active or inactive via an electromagnetic array.
