A speed regulation mechanism suitable for use with a bi-directional actuator is disclosed. The mechanism includes an actuation element and a regulator. The actuation element is configured to reversibly move between a first position and a second position. The regulator is configured to rotate around a regulator axis (A), and the actuation element is coupled to the regulator. Movement of the actuation element in a first direction towards the second position causes rotation of the regulator around the regulator axis (A) in a first rotational direction, and movement of the actuation element in a second direction towards the first position causes rotation of the regulator around the regulator axis (A) in a second rotational direction.

The invention relates to a method for providing distance information of a scene with a time-of-flight camera, comprising the steps of emitting a modulated light pulse towards the scene, receiving reflections of the modulated light pulse from the scene, evaluating a time-of-flight information for the received reflections of the modulated light pulse, and deriving distance information from the time-of-flight information for the received reflections, whereby a spread spectrum signal is applied to a base frequency of the modulation of the light pulse, and the time-of-flight information is evaluated under consideration of the a spread spectrum signal applied to the base frequency of the modulation of the light pulse. The invention further relates to a time-of-flight camera for providing distance information from a scene, whereby the time-of-flight camera performs the above method.

An actuator system having an actuator with a rotatable shaft. The shaft may have a first running time to rotate from a first position to a second position in one direction. The shaft may have a second running time to rotate from a first position to a second position in another direction. The first and second running times may be separately adjustable. A motor may be connected through a gear train to the rotatable shaft. A processor may control a rotation of the motor and thus the running times of the shaft. The running times may be adjusted with signals to the processor from a remote controller connected to the processor via a communications bus.
