  • Patent number: 7000982
    Abstract: In a process for controlling a closing device in a motor vehicle driven by an electric motor, in particular for controlling a motor vehicle sunroof, to protect a body part from being crushed during a closing motion, a closing resistance variable is detected. The closing resistance variable is characteristic of a force counteracting the closing motion, and is used to determine whether a crush situation exists. For this purpose, an additional auxiliary variable indicative of wind load forces at a certain speed is used. If a crush situation exists, a protective measure is initiated.

  • Patent number: 6605312
    Abstract: Production of a thin-film system containing at least one ultra-thin film, preferentially in the film thickness range from 1 to 10 nm, which is deposited by plasma-aided chemical or physical vapor-phase deposition using magnetron discharges. The method is characterized in that in the course of deposition of the ultra-thin film the power output is introduced into the plasma in the form of a controlled number of power pulses and that the average power output during the pulse-on time is set higher by a factor of at least 3 than the averaged power output over the entire coating time during deposition of the ultra-thin film.
