Abstract: A camera apparatus includes a flexible carrier medium formed as a light guide and on which an input coupling region and an output region are disposed. Light, which is incident on the input coupling region from the surroundings, can be input into the carrier medium via the input coupling region. Internal reflection allows the light to be transmitted through the carrier medium from the input coupling region to the output coupling region. At the output coupling region, the transmitted light can be output from the carrier medium and be captured by an image capture device, which is disposed adjacent to the output coupling region.

Abstract: A method includes operating at least two inverters connected to a direct current network. Each inverter includes a control unit connected to a common communication bus and in each case at least one switching element, which is controlled by the control unit of the inverter with a clock signal. The common communication bus is connected to at least one further control unit, which in each case sends a message of a message type via the communication bus at different points of times. The reception of one of the messages of the message type in the control units of the inverters triggers a synchronization of their clock signals.
Abstract: A method for filling up a parking structure with vehicles, which comprises at least one parking level, wherein vehicles can be parked on the at least one parking level, which are allowed to have a combined weight with a maximum value, which is specified for the at least one parking level, includes: when entrance to the parking structure is requested for a new vehicle at a time when it is still located outside of the parking structure the combined weight is determined as the sum of the weight of this new vehicle and the respective weights of other vehicles for which entrance is granted to the at least one parking level at that time, and in the event that the combined weight of the vehicles for a parking level of the at least one parking level is at most as large as the maximal value specified for this, entrance to this one parking level is granted for the new vehicle, and in the event that the combined weight of the vehicles for each parking level of the at least one parking level is greater than the maximum v
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: The application relates to a method for operating an actuator for a motor vehicle, the actuator having an actuating drive and a signal input. The actuating drive is operated as a function of a setpoint value received via the signal input and a threshold value stored in the actuator for setting an actual value of the actuator to the setpoint value, wherein the threshold value is set equal to the setpoint value when the actuator leaves an operating range of the actuator defined by the threshold value of the setpoint value. The application further relates to an actuator for a motor vehicle and a method for operating an arrangement of an actuator and a control unit for a motor vehicle.

Abstract: A motor vehicle includes a body component and a wing element pivotably coupled to the body component such that the wing element pivots relative to the body component about a pivot axis between a neutral starting position and a first pivot position. A control device of the motor vehicle detects an impending collision of the motor vehicle with a collision object located in the surroundings of the motor vehicle. Upon detecting the impending collision, the control device automatically pivots the wing element toward the body component from the neutral starting position to the first pivot position. The control device of the motor vehicle evaluates a severity of the collision and, depending upon the severity, automatically pivots the wing element away from the body component from the first pivot position to the neutral starting position.
