Abstract: A method for observing the crop processing and/or handling working processes of an agricultural machine is provided. The method utilizes a digital video system with a plurality of digital image acquisition units, with at least one display unit and with at least one network coupling element preferably designed as a switch, via which the image acquisition units are connected to the display unit. The image acquisition units record image data for images of, in particular, a video stream, and at least one of the images, in particular of the video stream, is reproduced at least partially in one of in particular a plurality of configurable shapes comprising one or multiple image reproduction regions on the display unit that is in particular designed as a touchscreen of an EDP unit that is preferably designed as a Panel PC (8).

Abstract: A system and a method for glare prevention. The method includes providing an image view of the face of the vehicle occupant; determining levels of light at plural parts of the face of the vehicle occupant; determining a direction to a light source causing the levels of light at plural parts of the face of the vehicle occupant; determining an area where to activate a glare protector; and activating the glare protector in the determined area to protect the vehicle occupant from glare caused by a light source.

Abstract: A device for the reversible mechanical fixing and electrical contacting of one or more electrical conductors (11) of a cable (10) it is proposed to fix the cable (10) mechanically by means of a cable receptacle (2) and to position exposed conductor ends (12) of the electrical conductor (11) on a contact plate (3). A fixing element (4) is provided for pressing the exposed conductor ends (12) onto the contact plate (3). Such a device and such a method are needed for the temporary electronic contacting of one or more electrical conductors carried in a cable. Such contacting is above all necessary for carrying out electrical measurements on such cables.

Abstract: This invention relates to a communication system for use with a vehicle. The system comprises a first communication unit (1), being positioned within a vehicle (2), and a second portable communication unit (7). The first communication unit (1) comprises a first memory circuit (4) being connected with a first transceiver (3), and said second communication unit (7) comprises a second memory circuit (10) being connected with a second transceiver (9). The transceivers (3,9) are arranged to establish a short-distance wireless communication link (8) between said first and second communication units when the communication units are within a communication range from each other, thereby enabling two-way communication between said communication units. An information item, stored in any one of said memory circuits is automatically transmitted to the other one of said memory circuits (4,10), over said wireless communication link (8) when the communication units (1,7) are within said communication range from each other.

Abstract: An electronic component is described and has a dielectric layer which is constructed on a substrate, conductive surfaces that are constructed on the dielectric layer, and an electrically conductive guard structure. The guard structure is disposed in a plane above the conductive surfaces such that the conductive surfaces are not completely covered by the guard structure.
