Abstract: A user device for rendering images of a virtual environment includes display. A browser application to establish a connection to a server for receiving streaming image data to render views of a virtual environment as a first layer of a display. Control commands initiated by a user on the user device are transmitted to the server. In response, the user device receives updated streaming image data for updating the displayed first layer. Upon detecting an occurrence of a predetermined event related to the virtual world/control commands, the user device transmits a request with a corresponding event identifier to a content management system (CMS), wherein the browser application and CMS maintain corresponding lists of event identifiers. The CMS then transmits to the user device additional display information external to the virtual environment, which the user device renders as a second partially-transparent layer overlaying the first layer.

Abstract: A car interior surveillance unit includes a detection unit for detecting a presence of a living human being or a living animal being in the passenger cabin of a car, a telecommunication unit for establishing a wireless telecommunication link to a remote telecommunication participant, an electric power supply unit including at least one rechargeable battery for providing electric power in at least one operational mode of the car interior surveillance unit, an electric power monitoring device for monitoring a presence of electric power at the electrical connection point and an electronic control unit that is configured for controlling operation of at least the detection unit and the telecommunication unit at least on the basis of a detected absence of electric power at the electrical connection point and a detected presence of a living human being or a living animal being in the passenger cabin.

Abstract: A vehicle seat sensor unit includes a seat occupancy sensor configured for wirelessly communicating with a control unit, at least one first seat detection sensor member and at least one second seat detection sensor member. The first seat detection sensor member is arrangeable in one out of a lower vehicle seat portion of a vehicle seat that is mountable in a vehicle in a removable manner, and a vehicle cabin floor, and the second seat detection sensor member is attachable to the other one of the lower vehicle seat portion and the vehicle cabin floor. The first seat detection sensor member and the second seat detection sensor member are configured to physically interact if mutually arranged within a specific distance. The physical interaction results in a detectable change of a status of at least one out of the first seat detection sensor member and the second seat detection sensor member.

Abstract: The invention relates to a seat occupancy sensor (10) comprising at least two switch elements (12, 14) which can be activated by pressure. Said elements can be associated with the surface of a seat and are arranged at a certain distance from each other in such a manner that a first switch element (12) is associated with a first area of the seat and a second switch element (14) is associated with a second area of the seat. According to the invention, the first and second switch elements (12, 14) are connected to each other in such a manner that a logical AND-linkage is produced. The first and second switch elements are, for example, serially connected in a particularly simple embodiment of the invention.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for extruding round rods from transparent plastics such as for example polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC) or polyethylene (PET) and to a method for producing said round rods.

Abstract: A seat sensor comprises at least two switching elements which are connected in series between two connection lines, each of said connection lines comprising a first end for connecting said connection line to a control unit and a second end. Said at least two switching elements are interconnected by means of an interconnection line having a first and a second end. According to the invention each of said first end and said second end of said interconnection line is connected to one of said connection lines by means of a resistive element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pressure sensor in the form of a film, comprising a first carrier film and a second carrier film which are arranged at a certain distance from each other by means of a spacer. The distance holder comprises at least one recess which defines an active region of the pressure sensor wherein both of the carrier films are arranged opposite each other, also comprising a first electrode and a second electrode and a layer made of pressure-sensitive material. The first electrode, the second electrode and the layer made of pressure-sensitive material are disposed in the active region on the first and/or second carrier film such that when the carrier films are pressed together through the pressure sensitive layer, electric contact is produced between the first and the second electrode.

Abstract: A vehicle seat having a heating device arranged in connection with the vehicle seat and connected to a control unit which includes a current-feeding apparatus for feeding a current to the heating device. The vehicle seat also includes a temperature sensor connected to the control unit for detecting the temperature at the heating device. The control unit is arranged to feed the current if the measured temperature falls below a pre-determined temperature value. An occupant sensor is also provided for detecting the presence of an occupant or an object in the vehicle seat. The occupant sensor is arranged as a single integral unit together with the heating device in the vehicle seat.
