Abstract: In a method for controlling a display device of a motor vehicle for displaying an environmental information relating to an environment of the motor vehicle, the environmental information is assigned at least one directional information which describes a detection direction of a detection device used for determining the environmental information or a direction to an object described by the environmental information based on a reference point, in particular a sitting position of the driver inside the motor vehicle, wherein the display device for displaying the environmental information which covers at least one angular range which lies in a horizontal plane is activated in a sub-range of the angular range which is assigned to the directional information.

Abstract: Motor vehicle rear view device includes a common circuit board secured within a motor vehicle. An image evaluation circuit board is secured to the common circuit board. The image evaluation circuit board includes a programmable processor. A display receiver circuit board is secured to the common circuit board and electrically connected to the image evaluation circuit board to form a receiver module. A display electrically operatively connected to the image evaluation circuit board through the display receiver circuit board. An optical sensor is connected to the image evaluation circuit board through said receiver circuit board. The optical sensor receives light and produces optical output signals based thereon to be displayed. Data cables formed within the common circuit board are less than 100 mm long to evaluate image data without delay.

Abstract: A sleeve contact includes a base body, a clamping sleeve, and a spring. The base body includes a receiving region. The clamping sleeve displaceable against the base body. The spring has first and second S-curve sections and is mounted at one end to the base body to thereby form a lever having a short lever arm from the end to the first S-curve section and a long lever arm from the end to the second S-curve section. The clamping sleeve acts on the spring as the contact sleeve displaces to produce a contact force towards the receiving region such that the long lever arm is pressed by the clamping sleeve towards the receiving region to thereby cause the short lever arm to bear against a plug contact inserted into the receiving region.

Abstract: A method for detecting an object in a motor vehicle environment uses a detection means which scans the environment at predetermined angular increments ?i+??i (i=1,2, . . ., N). When sensing a reflection signal of the object at an angle ?i, the angular increments are refined in the angular range between the adjacent angles ?i?1 and ?i+1 as a function of signal propagation times ti?1, ti and ti+1 of the reflection signals sensed at the angles ?i?1, ?i and ?i+1.
