Furthermore, the invention comprises a method for producing such a foam part and a motor vehicle seat having foam part.
Abstract: A hybrid drivetrain for a hybrid-drive vehicle, including an electric motor and an internal combustion engine, the force output shaft of which alternatingly acts either on a first input shaft or on a coaxial second input shaft of a dual clutch transmission via two separating clutches of a dual clutch, wherein a respective first and second sub-transmission can be activated using the input shafts, and wherein fixed and idler gears are arranged in wheel planes on the two input shafts and a common axially parallel output shaft and are combined into gear sets which form gear stages.
Abstract: A connection assembly with at least one receiving module for receiving a securing element. The at least one receiving module has a chamber for receiving the respective securing element, the chamber being delimited by an inner wall, and has a first opening as well as a second opening. The two openings delimit a passage channel within the chamber, and the inner wall has at least one latching module to which the securing element is to be latched within the chamber at least temporarily after guiding the securing element along a longitudinal direction of the passage channel into the chamber through the first opening. The latched securing element is to be received completely within the chamber.

Abstract: A method for arranging at least one battery module and at least one part of a battery housing having a cooling device, which is arranged on a side of the part of the battery housing and which has a predetermined module placement area. In doing so, a thermally conductive component is placed on the cooling device, at least in the predetermined module placement area, and the at least one battery module is inserted in the module placement area and pressed against the thermally conductive component in a pressing direction (R) extending in the direction of the cooling device. Before the pressing, a counter-holder device is arranged on the cooling device, which supports the cooling device during pressing of the at least one battery module in the predetermined module placement area, opposite the pressing direction (R).
Abstract: A rider's seat for a two-wheeled vehicle, in particular a scooter, includes a seating body and a bracket connecting the seating body to a body of the two-wheeled vehicle. The bracket is displaceable relative to the body of the two-wheeled vehicle along a longitudinal direction of the two-wheeled vehicle. The seating body is displaceable relative to the bracket at least along a vertical direction of the two-wheeled vehicle. The seating body is partially received within a guide of the bracket such that the guide of the bracket directs displacement of the seating body at least along the vertical direction of the two-wheeled vehicle. The guide of the bracket includes a curvilinear profile.
Abstract: A wheel bearing arrangement for a motor vehicle with a wheel hub and a wheel bearing for the rotatable bearing of the wheel hub at a wheel mount. The wheel bearing has an outer ring and an inner ring, which is rotatable with respect to the outer ring around an axis of rotation and is connected to the wheel hub. A wheel flange extends from the wheel hub and, as viewed in the axial direction, has a brake disk mount, which is open in the direction facing away from the outer ring and which, as viewed in longitudinal section with respect to the axis of rotation, is formed by a recess of the wheel flange, and has a support surface for a brake disk.
Abstract: A control device of a display and operating device specifies a graphical configuration of a display element to be displayed by the display device. Based on the specified graphical configuration, at least one light wave parameter for a respective light wave of a group of light waves is ascertained. A totality of the light wave parameters describes an interference pattern which describes an at least partial superposition of the light waves for generating an image representation of the display element. An interference pattern signal which describes the totality of the ascertained light wave parameters is generated and the generated interference pattern signal is transferred to an interference output device of the display and operating device. Based on the transferred interference pattern signal, the interference output device generates a light wave interference, and an output of a real image of the display element is displayed.
Abstract: A method for operating a clutch of a drive train of a vehicle wherein the clutch, a drive motor primary axis having first wheels that can be driven by the drive motor as first axis and a second axis having second wheels are driven by the drive motor via the clutch as second axis, with the clutch being adjusted between a closed position, wherein a first coupling torque of the clutch is set, and at least one second position differing from the closed position, wherein a second coupling torque of the clutch that is lower than the first coupling torque is set: determining at least one coefficient of friction of a roadway the vehicle is located on; and as a factor of the determined coefficient of friction: adjusting a basic torque of the clutch, with the clutch being prestressed in the second position by the basic torque.

Abstract: A method for operating a motor vehicle, in which an active manipulation of the yaw angle of the motor vehicle is performed, in that, on a left wheel and on a right wheel of at least one axle of the motor vehicle, an uneven torque distribution is set. In order to give the driver better control of the torque distribution to the wheels of the motor vehicle, an actuation of an operator control unit of the motor vehicle is detected; the uneven torque distribution is set in a manner dependent on the detected actuation; the uneven torque distribution is maintained only as long as the actuation of the operator control unit is detected.
