Abstract: A camera unit for a vehicle includes a camera and a closure element, which are moveable by a drive unit between a first position, in which the closure element covers the field of vision of the camera and a second position, in which a region of the surroundings of the vehicle to be monitored lies in the field of vision of the camera. A first movement direction of the camera from the first position into the second position and a second movement direction of the closure element from the first position into the second position define an angle and a surface normal of the outer skin of the vehicle at the place of installation of the camera unit lies within the angle.

Abstract: A tailgate for a vehicle includes an outer skin and a grip recessed into the outer skin, which open towards the bottom when the tailgate in a closed position. A wall of the recessed grip is formed at least in part by a cover of an extendable mounting for a camera. The camera is positionable between a retracted position in which the cover conceals the camera and an extended position in which the camera provides a field of view behind the vehicle.

Abstract: Two outer skin parts of a vehicle body border one another at a joint. The first outer skin part includes an apron which engages in the interior of the vehicle body and overlaps with the second outer skin part. A screen engages with a guiding contour of the apron running in the direction of the joint from an end of the joint between the apron and the second outer skin part.

Abstract: An aerodynamically effective attachment part or spoiler extension is disclosed. The spoiler extension includes a guide arrangement having a first guide element formed between the spoiler extension and a base body of the spoiler arrangement. Transfer of the spoiler extension is guided from a release position, in which the spoiler extension is detachable from the base body, along at transfer direction into a locking position, in which the spoiler extension is secured on the base body. The spoiler extension includes a securing element able to secure the spoiler extension automatically on the base body of the spoiler arrangement in the locking position.

Abstract: A switch device for a panel element of a motor vehicle includes a first housing part arranged in or on the panel element. A second housing part, which is preferably disk-shaped or plate-shaped, is movable relative to the first housing part, particularly rotatable about a rotational axis. A switching element is arranged in a hollow space formed between the first and second housing parts and either directly or indirectly abuts on the first housing part. The switching element can be actuated due to the motion of the second housing part relative to the first housing part along an actuating direction. A sealing device features a first seal extensively overlapping the switching element transverse and/or oblique to the actuating direction at least on the side facing away from the first housing part.

Abstract: A switch device is provided for a wall element, such as a door, flap, or window, in particular for a vehicle, having a first housing part, which is positionable or positioned in or on the wall element, having a second housing part, which is particularly disc-shaped or plate-shaped, having a sealing apparatus, which is positionable or positioned at least between the first housing part and the second housing part and fixes the first housing part and the second housing part on one another so they are movable relative to one another, and having a switch element, which is positionable or positioned between the first housing part and the second housing part and can be actuated by a movement of the second housing part relative to the first housing part.

Abstract: The phosphinothricin (PTC)-resistance gene isolated from the genome of Streptomyces viridochromogenes DSM 40736 is, after adaptation to the codon usage in plants, synthesized and incorporated into gene structures which make plants resistant to PTC after expression therein.
