Abstract: A motor vehicle has an assistance system which contains an optical sensor which defines an acquisition area. The acquisition area is directed diagonally to a rear with respect to a longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle. The optical sensor has a 3D camera. The area of the acquisition area is displayed on a display in the interior of the vehicle.

Abstract: The proposed solution in particular relates to a method for generating a haptic feedback on a vehicle part including an operating element that is accessible for a user for manual actuation, and in response to an electronically detected actuation of the operating element, a feedback haptically perceptible for the user is generated in that the vehicle part and the operating element is adjusted back and forth in a power-operated way or is put into vibration.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method (1000) of assembling an electrical circuit comprising one or more copper electrical conductors, the method comprising plating (1010) a surface of the one or more conductors with a layer comprising tin; annealing the plating; applying (1020) solder to at least a portion of the one or more electrical conductors, wherein said solder comprises tin and copper; and annealing the electrical circuit.

Abstract: A decentralized control unit of a motor vehicle, the decentralized control unit having a communication controller, which when installed, communicates via an antenna arrangement with a wireless communication network external to the vehicle by means of a mobile communication standard in order to provide a peripheral function. According to the invention, the communication controller, when installed, generates digital data signals in a preprocessing routine from antenna signals received via the antenna arrangement, and communicates the data signals to a central control unit of the motor vehicle via a communication network internal to the motor vehicle for completion of the peripheral function there.

Abstract: A photometer for measuring gas components. The photometer has an infrared radiator with radiator modulation, a measuring cell with a measurement and comparison chamber, and a detector which absorbs optopneumatically onto the gas component X, that is filled with gas component X. In order in the case of a photometer of this type to render it possible for a plurality of gas components to be measured with high accuracy and the smallest possible outlay in apparatus, at least one further detector is arranged downstream of the first detector. For the purpose of measuring the gas component Y the further detector is filled with its isotope Y*, and the first detector is optically transparent with regard to the further gas component Y* to be measured or the characteristic absorption bands thereof.

Abstract: The thermal conductivity in a gas blend is measured in order to determine concentration using several different temperatures for the gas but the same sensor, which includes a Silicon carrier of a few hundred micrometers thick and being provided with an electrically insulating layer; carrying a sputtered on or vapor deposited, meandershaped thin film resistance; a pit in the carrier underneath the resistance and the insulating layer, there being one or more perforations in the insulation to permit access of gas to the interior of the pit; a cover plate made also of silicon and of comparable thickness dimensions as the carrier, and also having a pit of comparable dimensions as the first mentioned pit is disposed above the carrier so that said pits are aligned and constitute a common measuring chamber; and a diffusion channel in the cover plate for feeding a gas through diffusion so that the measuring chamber is defined by the communicating pits.
