Patent number: 10095566Abstract: An operator control element in a motor vehicle generates an activation signal as a function of the activation of the operating element, and a control unit receives the activation signal and measures a signal length of the activation signal, and signals the activation if the signal length becomes greater than a predetermined debounce time. Despite possible incorrect triggering of the activation signal owing to voltage fluctuations, the debounce time is to be short. The control unit determines for this purpose an operating parameter, and on the basis of the operating parameter it is detected that a supply voltage, made available at the control unit, satisfies a predetermined instability criterion, and when the instability criterion is satisfied the control unit delays the measurement of the signal length for a predetermined blocking time.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2016Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: AUDI AGInventors: Jürgen Hartmann, Patrick Sassmannshausen

Publication number: 20170260433Abstract: The present invention comprises a single-component binder for heat-sealing applications which can be used for the sealing of polyester foils, in particular of polyethylene terephthalate foils (PET foils) with respect to containers made of polystyrene, of PVC, and of polyester. These polyesters can in particular be polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polylactic acid (PLA). The binders here feature not only good seal seam strengths but also in particular good transparency and excellent application properties. A substantive aspect of the invention is that the sealing can be achieved without addition of adhesion promoters, in particular without addition of adhesion promoters based on polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or on polyester, and that barrier properties and sealing properties achieved in respect of containers made of PS and of PET are nevertheless at least comparable with, and sometimes better than, those achieved with heat-sealing systems already marketed.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2015Publication date: September 14, 2017Applicant: Evonik Röhm GmbHInventors: André HENNIG, Thomas ARNOLD, Michael WICKE, Jürgen HARTMANN, Bruno KELLER, Günter SCHMITT, Michael WALDHAUS

Patent number: 9243153Abstract: The invention relates to polyisocyanate adducts obtainable by reacting at least one polysiloxane of the structure (I), at least one polyisocyanate having at least three NCO groups, at least one (meth)acrylate of the structure (II), where U is one of the following groups: (III), and optionally a compound reactive with isocyanates. The indices m, n, x and y assume values of 0 to 100. In addition, t=2 to 30, s=1 to 400 and i=1 to 5. The radicals identified by the letter R are suitable organic groups. ASi is an OH—, NH2— or CO2H— group. In addition, m+n+x+y?3. The invention further relates to a process for preparing the polyisocyanate adducts and to a radiation-curable coating composition comprising at least one radiation-curable polymer as a binder and at least one inventive polyisocyanate adduct.

Patent number: 9150142Abstract: In a method of controlling different lighting functions in a vehicle, activation of another one of the lighting functions is dependent on an actual speed of the vehicle, when manually switching from a currently activated one of the lighting functions to the other one of the lighting functions. In particular, when a low beam is automatically activated and a predefined speed is exceeded, activation of a parking light is barred while the low beam remains activated.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2013Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: AUDI AGInventors: Jürgen Hartmann, Andreas Stüber, Patrick Sassmannshausen

Patent number: 9132857Abstract: A motor vehicle includes an internal combustion engine and a parking assistance system with a system controller. During the assisted performance of a parking maneuver, the system controller receives one or more pieces of information from other controllers or units, which is continuously stored in the system controller. When restarting the internal combustion engine that has previously stalled during the ongoing parking maneuver, information previously stored by the system controller is accessed and forms the basis of a continued parking maneuver during a defined time interval, after which the assistance is once again based on current information acquired from the controllers or units.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2013Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: AUDI AGInventor: Jürgen Hartmann
