The circuit breaker comprises a drive, which is operatively connected to the contact bridge, and a control unit, via which the drive is energized and which is powered from a control circuit. The drive has a “moving magnet actuator.”Further, a vehicle having the circuit breaker is provided.

A circuit breaker having a mechanical switch introduced into a main current path, which comprises a fixed contact and a moving contact connected to a movably mounted contact bridge. The circuit breaker comprises a drive, which is in active connection with the contact bridge, and which comprises a first drive unit and a second drive unit. The first drive unit is energized via a control circuit, and the second drive unit is connected in parallel to a resistor element introduced into the main current path. The invention also relates to a motor vehicle.

A door assembly includes: a door including a first region; a doorframe connected to the door through a door hinge, the doorframe including a second region, wherein the first region faces the second region when the door is closed; an electromagnet located at one of the first and second regions; a permanent magnet located at the other one of the first and second regions; a distance sensor configured to detect a distance between the door and the doorframe; and a control chip coupled with the distance sensor, the control chip being configured to control a direction of a current in the electromagnet according to the distance detected by the distance sensor.

A human-machine interface comprising: —a magnetic rocker rotatably movable between a rest position wherein an implement is maintained in a neutral position and a tilted position wherein the implement is in a reclined position, —a magnetic assembly, attached to a frame, capable of cooperating with the magnetic rocker to generate a magnetic return force that constantly urges the magnetic rocker towards its rest position, —a sliding connection comprising a flange and a slide, and —the implement comprises one of the slides, and the flange and the magnetic rocker comprise the other of the slide and the flange such that the sliding connection transforms the movement of the implement towards the reclined position by moving the magnetic rocker towards its tilted position and vice versa.

A control element having a beam member divided into an actuation section and a valve section positioned on opposing sides of a pivot member, in which active control of the actuation section causes buckling of the valve section to bring the valve section from a closed state to an open state or causes relaxing of the valve section to bring the valve section from an open state to a closed state.

An input apparatus includes an operating member that receives an operating force, a casing holding the operating member so as to move in the vertical direction, a first switch and a second switch that switch between on-state and off-state as the operating member moves, a first magnetic substance attached to the casing, a second magnetic substance that moves together with the operating member, and a third magnetic substance disposed so as to come into contact with the first magnetic substance and the second magnetic substance when the operating member is not receiving an operating force and so as to come into contact with one of the first magnetic substance and the second magnetic substance when the operating member is receiving an operating force. At least one of the first magnetic substance, the second magnetic substance, and the third magnetic substance is a magnet.

A switchgear includes a movable part capable of reciprocating movement in first and second directions, a movable contact coupled to the movable part and capable of reciprocating movement relative to the movable part, a biasing member that biases the movable contact, a latch part capable of switching between a first state in which movement of the movable contact in the first direction is restricted and a second state in which movement of the movable contact in the first direction is permitted, and a fixed contact provided on a side of the first direction with respect to the movable contact. When the movable part and the movable contact move in the first direction, after movement for a predetermined distance, the movement of the movable contact is restricted by the latch part in the first state, and then, when the movable part has moved further in the first direction, the latch part is switched to the second state.
