The invention relates to a sensor system (), and a method for determining an absolute rotation angle (&#x3b4;) of a shaft () with a rotation angle range of more than one revolution and to a vehicle fitted with a sensor system (), wherein the sensor system () has a main rotor () that can be connected rotationally synchronously to the shaft (), a first auxiliary rotor () which is mechanically coupled to the main rotor (), a second auxiliary rotor () mechanically coupled to the main rotor (), a first sensor device (SE) which is assigned to the first auxiliary rotor () for generating a first sensor signal dependent on a rotation angle of the first auxiliary rotor (), a second sensor device (SE) which is assigned to the second auxiliary rotor () for generating a second sensor signal dependent on a rotation angle of the second auxiliary rotor (), a third sensor device (SE) which is assigned to the main rotor () and which is used for generating a third sensor signal dependent on a relative rotation angle (&#x3b3;) of the main rotor () and an evaluation device for determining the absolute rotation angle (&#x3b4;) of the main rotor () from the sensor signals of the sensor devices (SE, SE, SE). The detection range (&#x3b1;) of the third sensor device is less than 360&#xb0;.

Sensor system for determining an absolute rotational angle of a shaft, method for determining an absolute rotational angle of a shaft, and vehicle having a sensor system

An operating apparatus for operating at least one electrical appliance in a motor vehicle may include an operating element, a rocker that may actuate a switching element using a rocker movement initiated by an actuation of the operating element, at least one connector between the operating element and the rocker, the at least one connector being a vertical pin connector, and a circuit board which may include a first side and a second side. The first side may include a switching element that switches when the operating element is actuated. The circuit board may be arranged between the operating element and the switching element so that the first side faces away from the operating element and the second side, lying opposite the first side, faces the operating element.

Operating apparatus comprising rocker element for operating at least one electrical appliance, motor vehicle component comprising an operating apparatus, motor vehicle and method for operating an operating apparatus

The invention relates to an operating device () for a motor vehicle, with at least one operating control () which can be actuated by an operator (), and with a symbol bearer (), separate from the operating control (), for the graphical identification of the at least one operating control (), wherein the symbol bearer () for the operating element () has a first and at least one further graphical symbol () different therefrom and can be moved relative to the at least one operating control () between a first position in which the operating control () is identified with the first symbol () and at least one further position in which the operating control () is identified with the further symbol ().

Operating device for a motor vehicle and a steering wheel having an operating device

A manually operated switching device for a vehicle, with a switch lever and at least one touch-sensitive sensor device formed on the switch lever, which is designed for detecting an effect on a sensor surface of the sensor device that leaves the switch lever positionally unchanged and that triggers a switching signal, wherein an activation device is formed, with which the detecting state of the sensor device is activated as defined by the user.
