Abstract: A door component has a damper device with two connection units that can be moved relative to each other for damping a door movement of a door of a vehicle. The damper device contains a magnetorheological fluid, as an operating fluid, and a cylinder unit having a first chamber and a second chamber. The two chambers are separated from each other by a piston which is provided with a damping valve. The damper device has a connection which is constructed for coupling to a drive. The damper device can be moved in an active manner at least from a first position into a second position by the drive which is coupled via the connection.

Abstract: Electronic devices, such as consumer electronics devices and constrol systems in vehicles are controlled by way of a haptic operating device with a rotating unit. Selectable menu items are displayed on a display unit, and a menu item is selected by rotating the rotating unit. The rotating unit latches at a number of haptically perceptible latching points during rotation. The number and rotational position of the haptically perceptible latching points is dynamically changed in accordance with a specific menu item selected by the user.

Abstract: A device for influencing the force of a seatbelt acting on an occupant of a passenger vehicle during a collision, for example. The device includes a rotary damper with a magnetorheological fluid as a working fluid for damping a rotational movement of a damper shaft of the rotary damper when winding or unwinding the seatbelt. The rotary damper has a displacing device with displacing components which engage into one another and which are wetted by the magnetorheological fluid. By using a paired controller, a magnetic field of a magnetic field source with an electric coil can be controlled and the magnetorheological fluid can be influenced in order to adjust the damping of the rotational movement of the damper shaft.

Abstract: A rotary damper for damping a pivoting motion has two components, one component being an inside component and the other component an outside component. The outside component radially surrounds the inside component at least in sections. Between the components a damping gap is formed that is bordered radially inwardly by the inside component and radially outwardly, by the outside component. The gap is filled with a magnetorheological medium. The damping gap can be exposed to a magnetic field to damp a pivoting motion between the two counter-pivoting components about an axle. One of the components is provided with a plurality of radially extending arms. The arms are equipped with an electric coil having a winding, the winding extending adjacent to the axle and spaced apart from the axle.

Abstract: A device has at least two components which are movable relative to one another. The first component is equipped with a rotary receptacle and wherein the second component is rotatably received on the rotary receptacle. A third component is coupled to the second component. Two connection units which are movable relative to one another and a controllable braking device are included, wherein the braking device is designed as a controllable rotary brake in order to provide controlled damping of a movement of a door device between a closed position and an open position. The first connection unit is formed on the first component, and the second connection unit is pivotably coupled to the third component. The pivot axis is oriented transversely with respect to an axis of rotation of the second component.

Abstract: A vehicle component has a sensor device that includes a sensor for detecting a characteristic parameter for an obstacle in the vicinity of the vehicle, for example an obstacle in a movement area of the door. The damper device can be actuated in a manner which is dependent on the parameter. A monitoring device is provided which, in order to detect a characteristic parameter for a manipulation of the vehicle, for example damage of a vehicle exterior shell or removal of a vehicle interior compartment, is operatively connected to the sensor device, in order for the latter to be interrogated.

Abstract: A rotary damper has a housing and a damper shaft rotatable in the housing. A damper volume contains magnetorheological fluid for influencing the damping of a damper shaft rotation relative to the housing. A partition wall on the shaft and a partition wall formed on the housing divide the damper volume into two variable chambers. A gap is formed between the partition unit of the housing and the damper shaft, and a gap is formed between the partition unit on the damper shaft and the housing. The magnetic field source includes a controllable electric coil for influencing the strength of the magnetic field and thus the strength of damping. A substantial part of the magnetic field of the magnetic field source passes through at least two of the gaps and influences the two gap sections in dependence on the strength of the magnetic field.
