  • Patent number: 11987123
    Abstract: A method includes detecting a direction of view of at least one passenger as an occupant of the motor vehicle; and providing a display with information about at least one object in a landscape of the motor vehicle viewed by the at least one passenger, the at least one object not being relevant to road traffic, such that said information is provided in an area in the direction of view of the at least one passenger, wherein, when multiple passengers of the motor vehicle are detected, a direction of view of each passenger is detected, such that a display with information about the at least one object in the landscape of the motor vehicle viewed by at least two passengers is provided in an area in which the direction of view of the at least two passengers intersect.

  • Patent number: 9662952
    Abstract: A vibration damper for damping spring retraction and extension forces on vehicles includes an inner pressure medium cylinder, in which a piston with a piston rod is axially slidably arranged to divide the inner cylinder into a retraction chamber and an extension chamber in which an electrorheological fluid is contained as a pressure medium. The two chambers are connected through at least one throttle gap between the inner cylinder and an electrode tube arranged coaxially thereto. The electrode tube is surrounded coaxially by an outer tube which forms a gas pressure chamber connected with the retraction chamber through a bottom valve. Axially linear or helical seals are arranged between the inner cylinder and the electrode tube, and divide the throttle gap into at least two valve partial gaps. A throttled non-return valve opens toward the gas pressure chamber between the extension chamber and the gas pressure chamber.

  • Publication number: 20160059656
    Abstract: The invention relates to a vibration damper for damping spring retraction and/or spring extension forces on motor vehicles, which includes an inner pressure medium cylinder (1), in which a piston (2) with a piston rod (3) is axially slidably arranged, which divides the inner pressure medium cylinder (1) into a retraction chamber (4) and an extension chamber (5), in which an electrorheological fluid as a pressure medium is contained, wherein the retraction chamber (4) and the extension chamber (5) is connected through at least one throttle gap (6) between the inner cylinder tube (1) and an electrode tube (7) arranged coaxially thereto, and that the electrode tube (7) is surrounded coaxially by a spaced-apart further outer tube (8), which together with the electrode tube (7) forms a gas pressure chamber (9), which is connected through a bottom valve (10) with the retraction chamber (4).
