Abstract: A roof cargo box system for transporting an article on a vehicle includes a roof cargo box and a roof cargo box carrier for mounting on a vehicle. The box includes a flexible shell for accommodating the article to be transported. The roof cargo box defines a longitudinal axis and has at least three frames which extend in respective planes transversely to the longitudinal axis. The frames are configured to receive the flexible shells spanned thereon. A scissors mechanism pulls the frames into a predetermined spaced relationship to each other along the longitudinal axis. The carrier for mounting a roof cargo box on the vehicle includes a first attachment unit for mounting on the vehicle and a second attachment unit for attachment to the roof cargo box. The roof cargo box carrier also includes a separable mechanism for rotating the attachment units relative to each other by at least 90°.

Abstract: A ventilator for a control device for a vehicle may include a stator having a plurality of coils and a rotor comprising a hollow cylinder. An impeller may include a plurality of blades, the impeller being coupled to the hollow cylinder such that a rotation of the hollow cylinder causes a rotation of the impeller. The hollow cylinder may have a plurality of magnets. The stator may partially encompasses the rotor.

Abstract: A turbine assembly includes a wind turbine defining a first axis as a vertical axis of rotation, an electric generator operatively connected to the wind turbine and configured to generate electrical power from rotational energy of the wind turbine. The wind turbine includes a first scoop and a second scoop conjointly defining a common interface plane and the scoops are displaceable relative to each other. The first and second scoops are arranged along a second axis running transversely to the first axis. A linear drive mechanism interconnects the first and second scoops for displacing the first and second scoops relative to each other along the second axis and the common interface plane. A control is connected to the linear drive mechanism for controlling the relative displacement of the first and second scoops.

Abstract: A control unit (SG) is provided for evaluating signals for a vehicle (FZ), including at least two printed circuit plates (PB, CB) equipped with modules to be cooled, which are positioned opposite one another and are covered by cooling structures (KS1, KS2) on the opposed sides. Sidewalls (SW) are arranged at a right angle with respect to the cooling structures (KS1, KS2) and, together with the cooling structures, form a cooling duct. A fluid is movable through the cooling duct for heat dissipation. Seal(s) are provided between the sidewalls and the cooling structures.

Abstract: This disclosure relates to a dimming element for an ADAS camera comprising a layer that can be placed on a surface of a window that comprises liquid crystal cells that can be actuated individually and absorb light when electricity is applied, in order to dim an image section of the ADAS camera depending on the position of the sun detected by the ADAS camera. A delay layer, located between the layer and the ADAS camera may provide polarized light to the ADAS camera independently of an alignment of the liquid crystal cells in relation to the ADAS camera. The disclosure also relates to a control device for an ADAS camera system, and ADAS camera system, and a vehicle comprising an ADAS camera system.

Abstract: A control device (SG) for a vehicle is proposed, which contains at least one electronic component (GPU). Furthermore, there is at least one fan (F1), and one air channel (LK), which enables air to flow (LS) from a first side of the at least one electronic component (GPU) to the first fan (F1), wherein the air flow (LS) then flows past a second side of the at least one electronic component (GPU) after passing through the first fan.
