The module has a partially translucent touch panel with a closing-in capacitive sensor (14) and a resistive touch sensor (16) that are juxtaposed in a control area of the panel. A information processing unit processes a selection control based on a signal from a sensitive electrode (15) and a ground electrode of the closing-in capacitive sensor, and processes a validation control based on another signal from the touch sensor. The closing-in capacitive sensor is juxtaposed to conductive elements (19a, 19b) of a layer (12a) of the panel, where the elements are made of indium tin oxide.

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Spannvorrichtung fur einen Endlostrieb, insbesondere Steuertrieb eines Verbrennungsmotors, mit einem Spannkolben und einer im Betrieb auf den Spannkolben in Spannrichtung wirkenden Vorspannfeder. Eine derartige Spannvorrichtung soll sowohl fur den Kaltstart als auch fur den Normalbetrieb eines Verbrennungsmotors optimiert werden. Hierzu ist eine im Betrieb auf den Spannkolben entgegen der Spannrichtung wirkende, die resultierende Vorspannung des Spannkolbens betriebstemperaturabhangig beeinflussende Gegenfeder vorgesehen. Des Weiteren bezieht sich die Erfindung auch auf einen entsprechenden Endlostrieb fur einen Verbrennungsmotor.
