Abstract: A control unit for the gear or shift program selection of an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle is presented, which has a emergency release mechanism. With this a parking brake of the motor vehicle transmission can be released by an operating device that can be actuated by the driver. A housing (3) is provided and a selector lever (1), which can be brought into at least two end positions, in which control unit the operating device of the emergency release mechanism is an integral part of the control unit, and in which the operating device has a detachable stop element (7). The stop element (7) is secured in a mount (9) of the control unit by means of a coded release mechanism (15) and acts as a movement limitation for the release movement of the parking brake by the operating device of the emergency release mechanism in the non-actuated state. The emergency release mechanism can also be actuated due to this novel design even with the control unit only, and, moreover, increased requirements on theft protection can be met.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un appareil servant à mesurer un phénomène physique causé par une excitation lumineuse ayant une résolution extrême à la fois dans le domaine temporel et dans le domaine spatial, en particulier à un microscope de balayage à sonde à résolution temporelle à modulation du temps d'attente. Cet appareil comprend un générateur d'impulsions laser ultracourtes (2), un circuit de modulation de retard (6) destiné à diviser une impulsion laser ultracourte (3) produite par le générateur d'impulsions laser ultracourtes (2) en deux impulsions et à moduler en fréquence (φ) le temps d'attente td entre les deux impulsions laser ultracourtes (4, 5), un microscope à sonde de balayage (17), et un détecteur de verrouillage (8) servant à détecter le verrouillage d'un signal de sonde du microscope (17) avec une fréquence de modulation (φ) du temps d'attente. La dépendance du signal de sonde (11) par rapport au temps d'attente est déterminée comme variation de vitesse, sans être influencée par la fluctuation de l'intensité de l'impulsion laser ultracourte (3) et sans expansion thermique ni contraction thermique de la puce de la sonde (19) causées par l'application de l'impulsion laser ultracourte (3). Grâce à une résolution temporelle de l'ordre de la femtoseconde et à une résolution spatiale de l'ordre de l'Angström, on peut mesurer un phénomène physique d'excitation lumineuse dépendant du temps d'attente entre des impulsions lumineuses ultracourtes.
