  • Publication number: 20170334350
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor device for a vehicle for detecting a road user in a vehicle environment, wherein the road user transmits a communication signal, with a first antenna and a second antenna, wherein the first antenna and the second antenna are designed to receive the communication signal with a phase displacement, a processor which is designed to determine a transmission direction of the communication signal on the basis of the phase displacement between the communication signal received at the first antenna and the communication signal received at the second antenna, and a distance sensor which is designed to capture angle-dependent distance measured variables of the vehicle environment, wherein the processor is designed to determine a position of the road user on the basis of the transmission direction of the communication signal and of the angle-dependent distance measured variables of the vehicle environment.

  • Patent number: 9557066
    Abstract: A cooking appliance including an interior, a fan mechanism having at least one fan wheel in the interior, at least one first flow directing member for subdividing the interior into a pressure chamber that houses the fan wheel and a cooking chamber, in which the first flow directing member includes at least one suction port for sucking atmosphere from the cooking chamber into the pressure chamber when the fan wheel is in operation and at least one blow-off port for blowing atmosphere from the pressure chamber into the cooking chamber when the fan wheel is in operation; and at least one second flow directing member that is included with the fan mechanism in the area of the suction port of the first flow directing member in order to improve the flow from the cooking chamber into the pressure chamber by forcing an axial main flow H in the suction zone of the fan mechanism, where the second flow directing member performs a nozzle function, extends from the fan mechanism into the cooking chamber, and overlaps the e
