Abstract: A computer implemented product development method characterized in an algorithmic formulation of an optimization problem within a multidimensional solution space and a following software-technical optimization which is in the sense of a control loop permanently adjusting the running development process in direction of a calculated optimum is provided. Therefore a three-dimensional solution space with a purpose dimension, an architecture dimension and a strategy dimension have to be established, market needs strategic imperatives, architecture and for each dimension quality criteria have to be stored and after that the three dimensions have to be balanced according to its fulfillment of the quality criteria after each phase of the development. The advantage is a higher efficiency in development due to a more holistic approach which is better reflecting the interdependencies within a real production development process.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a body, an inner cover disposed in the body and a textile channel conducting conditioned air, extending between the body and the inner cover and being made of a textile fabric.

Abstract: An air duct system for vehicles, in particular for passenger rail vehicles, has at least one roof venting duct, which has a component venting duct for warm air and a component venting duct for cold-air. A separating means which is arranged inside the roof venting duct is designed so it can be deformed or is held in a movable fashion in such a way that the cross section of each of the two component venting ducts can be enlarged by making the respective other component venting duct smaller. These changes in cross section are brought about solely by the air pressure and volume flow conditions without external energy.

Abstract: In a visual display of power transmission quality, at least three display regions are displayed. The display regions are a time-related, a location-related and a control-related display region. The time-related display region enables a selection of the time interval on the part of the user that is to be examined for a violation of one or more predetermined power quality rules.

Abstract: For complex automation tasks, it is generally known to program programmable control units using graphics languages. However, a problem in this regard is that such graphics languages show either only the sequence of operations over time or only the interaction of the objects (1-3). A novel language, particularly involving the use of a sequence chart diagram, is proposed to display and program the object interaction and its sequence over time in a single common representation. To this end, an additional control element (4) is provided for controlling the addressing and the sequence of the object interactions over time.
