Abstract: A side window glass of a motor vehicle includes an electrical functional element arranged in or on the glass and a control unit for actuating the electrical functional element. A holding device for the control unit is arranged on an edge of the glass.

Abstract: A vehicle pane, particularly for a motor vehicle, has an outer layer and an inner layer between which, at least in sections, there is arranged a function layer which influences a light transmission characteristic of the vehicle pane. An additional function layer is provided, by which the light transmission characteristic of the vehicle pane can also be influenced. The invention further relates to a motor vehicle having at least one vehicle pane.

Abstract: The invention relates to a lighting device for vehicles that envisages a light-decoupling element in a decoupling bay of the vehicle. The light-decoupling element is fed by a light source arranged at a distance therefrom. A light guide is envisaged between the light source and the light decoupling element. An additional decoupling bay lighting device is envisaged to achieve a visually appealing appearance of the decoupling bay and to illuminate the decoupling bay of the light-decoupling element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle lighting unit with an optical conductor system, having a light source and means for concentrating the beams of this source onto the entrance end of a transparent rod, the rod extending along a longitudinal axis A and having obliquely relative to the longitudinal axis a plurality of reflecting facets at which light emerges at a specific intensity, the facets cooperating with optical lenses which are arranged at the exit of an optical conductor in the path of the elementary light bundles reflected by the facets. According to the invention, it is provided that light-controlling elements are present which permit the deflection or passage of light by changing thereflection at the facet.

Abstract: Disclosed is a lighting device for a vehicle, having a light-decoupling element in a decoupling bay of the vehicle. The light-decoupling element is fed by a light source arranged at a distance, where an optical fiber connects the light source and the light decoupling element. A light panel is used to achieve a visual shielding of an inner bay containing structural elements and components. The light panel facilitates a visual shielding of the rear inner bay.

Abstract: In a safety arrangement of a cable-supported component of a medical device that can be adjusted via a cart at a column, a force acts on the cable via at least one clamping lever that is adjustably supported at the cart, and the cart is free for purposes of adjustment along the column given action of the force, and the clamping lever is moved such that it blocks displacement of the cart relative to the column when the force is reduced.

Abstract: A windshield wiper is provided for a window with a constant radius of curvature. The wiper axis is aligned along a radius with respect to the center of curvature of the window. The wiper arm and the rotatable wiper-bearing part are connected together as a rigid constructional unit. The wiper bearing and/or the wiper arm adjacent the wiper bearing are provided with elastic portions or elements to accommodate movement of the wiper arm in a direction parallel to the wiper axis.
