  • Publication number: 20230098988
    Abstract: A mobile ecosystem includes an autonomous control system in a vehicle. The autonomous control system receives user information from at least one of a user device or the vehicle and identifies a trajectory plan and a vehicle configuration based on the user information. The trajectory plan identifies a departure time for the vehicle to depart a starting location, an arrival time for the vehicle to arrive at a destination location, and a travel route for the vehicle to traverse at least partially between the starting location and the destination location. The trajectory plan may identify an entry time for the user to enter the vehicle. The vehicle configuration identifies travels settings for components in at least one of dynamic systems or interior systems of the vehicle. The autonomous control system causes the components to be configured according to the travel settings and causes the vehicle to traverse the travel route.

  • Patent number: 10710182
    Abstract: A method for producing a primary material for a cutting tool, for example a primary material for a saw blade or a saw band, in which a band-shaped carrier of a metal carrier material and a wire of high-speed steel are continuously brought together along a lateral edge of the band-shaped carrier and transported into a welding device and the band-shaped carrier is welded to the wire along the lateral edge of the carrier to produce a bimetal band. The band-shaped carrier and the edge wire are welded to one another by at least a first welding device, which is arranged on one side of the band-shaped carrier, and at least a second welding device, which is arranged on the opposite side of the band-shaped carrier.

  • Patent number: 8875596
    Abstract: A steering wheel has at least one shift paddle which is coupled to the steering wheel in such a manner that the shift paddle is movable relative to the steering wheel in order in a contactless manner to trigger a shifting operation. In order to improve the ease of operation when actuating the shift paddle on the steering wheel, the steering wheel is distinguished by a slotted guide mechanism by which a shifting sensation is generated during movement of the shift paddle.
