Abstract: A method for operating a display system in a vehicle (03) when driving into a parking space (06), uses a camera (01) with an image processing unit in which the image data obtained by the camera (01) can be processed and a display screen (02) in the interior of the vehicle. After the vehicle has moved to the vehicle position in which the first parking-space icon (07) has been brought to overlay the parking space (06) shown in the real-time image, a second parking-space icon (09) is faded into the real-time image on the display screen (02) by the image processing unit, with this second parking-space icon (09) in the real-time image in true scale indicating a region which after moving along a first segment (15) of the travel path (14) towards the parking space (06) must be brought to overlay the parking space (06) shown in the real-time image.

Abstract: A vehicle (01) has at least two image data sources (02), at least one mixing unit (03), at least one conversion unit (04) and an image display unit (05). The pixel data (09) generated with the image data sources (02) can be brought together by means of the mixing unit (03) in particular for simultaneous display on the image display unit (05). With the conversion unit (04), the pixel data (10) can be transformed to a form of image data (11) which can be displayed on the image display unit (05). The mixing unit (03) includes at least two data input ports (06) for receiving pixel data (09) from the two image data sources (02), and at least one data output port (07) for the brought-together pixel data (10). The conversion unit (04) includes at least one data input port (08) for the brought-together pixel data (10). The data output port (07) of the mixing unit (03) is directly or indirectly connected to the data input port (08) of the conversion unit (04).

Abstract: A method and a device for operating an electronic viewing system (11) of a vehicle, which viewing system (11) allowing the driver to view the claimed travel way or soon to be occupied travel path. The system uses at least two optical sensors (01), an image display unit (10), and a detector device (03), wherein by means of the detector device (03) the motion state of the vehicle can be detected. The selection of the images which are shown on the image display unit (10) and which are generated by the optical sensors (01) can be made dependent on the motion state of the vehicle.

Abstract: The high voltage supply for a picture tube comprises a high voltage transformer, which generates the anode voltage of the picture tube, and a high voltage module with a switched mode power supply for providing a grid voltage, which is higher than the anode voltage. The output of the high voltage transformer is coupled to the transformer of the switched mode power supply, for adding the output voltage of the switched mode power supply to the high voltage of the high voltage transformer. Preferably, the transformer of the switched mode power supply provides the high voltage isolation, and at least the high voltage part of the module including the transformer is potted with a resin. The high voltage module provides advantageously also an output for a connection to the anode of the picture tube, so that the module can be used with present high voltage transformers, without requiring any modification.

Abstract: In a television receiver, a dynamic, parabolic correction voltage for focusing is generated by way of a transformer whose primary winding is fed with the line deflection current or a line-frequency voltage and to whose secondary winding a capacitor is connected, which capacitor integrates the sawtooth-waveform current in the secondary winding into a parabolic voltage. New types of picture tubes require a correction voltage which does not have a parabolic profile, rather whose form corresponds approximately to the cross section through the center of a bathtub. It is an object to provide a simple circuit for generating such a bathtub-waveform correction voltage.

Abstract: For the cooling of electronic components on a board (2) which is located within an (EMC) shield (3), the shield (3) lying within a housing (1), a part air stream of a fan (5) in the housing wall is guided into the shield (3) by an air guide duct (13). Cooling is highly effective, and known heat-conducting elements between the components (4) and the shield (3) are dispensible.

Abstract: In a television receiver, a higher beam current is enabled and a brighter image is provided, without adversely effecting the life of the cathode ray tube or endangering the high-tension transformer. The high-tension transformer includes a temperature sensor which acts with a control circuit for reducing the beam current when the temperature of the transformer rises above a specific temperature.
