Abstract: The invention relates to a driver assistance device for a vehicle and a method for visualising the environment of the vehicle. Said driver assistance device is associated with two sensors for detecting the environment of the vehicle. The sensors have a different resolution and/or the driver assistance device is associated with a display device. Said display device is arranged in the region of the front disk in order to restrict analogic contact on the display which represents attentiveness information.

Abstract: A processor arrangement having a plurality of processor units and a control computer. Each of the processor units is connected to at least one adjacent processor unit and has one control element and at least one communications interface for providing a data communications link with an adjacent processor unit. The control computer is connected to one of the processor units, and is configured for exchanging information with the processor unit and for assigning one control element of the plurality of control elements to a device that is electrically connected to the processor arrangement for the control of the device.

Abstract: A method of, and device (10) for, connecting a plurality of flexible printed circuits (12) each comprising a layer (14) of electrically insulating material and a layer (16) of electrically conducting material. The method including the steps of forming a hole (18) through each flexible printed circuit; positioning first and second substantially rigid plates (20,22) of electrically insulating material on either side of the flexible printed circuits with the holes in the flexible printed circuits aligned with a corresponding hole (26,28) in each plate; extending a rivet (24) of electrically conducting material through the aligned holes to electrically connect with the layers of electrically conducting material on the flexible printed circuits; and enlarging the ends (30,32) of the rivet to secure the flexible printed circuits between the plates. Provides an improved electrical and mechanical connection between FPCs.
