A bushing assembly adapted for application in vehicle suspension systems includes an outer, generally cylindrical bushing member, an inner generally cylindrical bushing member arranged concentrically within the outer member. The two bushing members are interconnected by an elastomeric member disposed there between and bonded thereto to permit limited rotational displacement between the external and internal bushing members. An angular position sensor is at least partially embedded within the elastomeric member and operative to produce an output signal indicative of the relative angular position of the external and internal bushing members. The sensor includes a stator assembly including a permanent magnet, a galvanomagnetic sensing element and a flux guide defining at least one pole face, and a rotor including a flux guide defining a second pole face. An air gap between the two pole faces varies dimensionally as a function of the relative angular position of the stator assembly and rotor.

A load lowering descent controller having a fixed cylindrical body or capstan about which a rope or cable is turned. The descent controller allows for lowering of the load at a controlled rate by adjusting the amount of friction between the controller and the rope or cable as a function of rope or cable turning and relative contact with rope or cable engagement surfaces in the controller. The fixed cylindrical body or capstan is surrounded by a vented sleeve to prevent the rope from becoming heated and to prevent the user from being injured.

A rotation angle sensor which has at least one capacitor having capacitor plates and a dielectric designed as a disk. The disk is situated between the capacitor plates, and fills out differently sized surface portions between the capacitor plates, depending on the rotation angle. The rotation angle sensor is designed to determine the rotation angle as a function of a measured value of the capacitance of the at least one capacitor.

A high-frequency filter arrangement comprising at least one filter consisting of a plurality of high-frequency inter-coupled cavities in which a locally fixed respective dielectric resonator element is disposed and in which a respective dielectric body can be modified, in order to tune the frequency of the filter, in the position thereof in relation to the dielectric resonator element. The structure of the inventive filter arrangement is simple, compact and economical and excellent filter and tuning properties are obtained by virtue of the fact that the dielectric body is arranged in an eccentric recess of the dielectric resonator element and that the dielectric body is rotatably arranged in the eccentric recess.

A parking lock includes a locking pawl (2) and an interlocking element (6) arranged on a connecting bar (5) to a selector lever (4). During engagement of the parking lock, the selector lever (4) is rotated by a spring (9). A hydraulically actuatable actuator (10) including two pistons (11, 12). A first piston (11) is pressurized in order to disengage the parking lock and axially displace the second piston (12) against a spring (9). Axial movement of the second piston (12) rotates the selector lever (4) and vice versa. A detent device (13) of the actuator (10), is actuatable by an electromagnet (13a). An emergency release device (15) is operatively connectable with the selector lever (4) so that the second piston (12) is axially displaceable by the selector lever (4) without displacing the first piston (11).
