Abstract: Methods and devices related to determining a propagation time of wireless transmissions between wireless communication devices are provided. A propagation time of wireless transmissions between a first wireless communication device and a second wireless communication device is determined. The determining is based on a roundtrip time of a wireless transmission exchange between the first wireless communication device and the second wireless communication device, a reply time of the wireless transmission exchange, and on the first time interval and the second time interval. The first time interval is a time interval between a first transmit event at the first wireless communication device and a second transmit event at the first wireless communication device. The second time interval is a time interval between a first receive event at the second wireless communication device and a second receive event at the second wireless communication device.

Abstract: A filter device collects and stores brake particles generated by a friction brake. The filter device can be regenerated. The filter device determines that at least one boundary condition that makes it possible and/or permits the execution of regeneration of the filter device is met. In response to the determination, brake particles stored in the filter device are to be removed from the filter device.

Abstract: A control unit for a pressure container system comprising at least one pressure container with a pressure container valve designed to conduct fuel from the pressure container into a removal line for supplying an energy converter. The control unit is designed to determine that a fueling procedure of the pressure container is occurring or has occurred. In response thereto, the control unit is additionally designed to cause the pressure container valve to open in a pulsed manner temporally prior to a removal request for fuel for operating the energy converter so that the pressure in the removal line approximates the pressure in the pressure container.

Abstract: A method for producing a molded part for use in a casting method may involve an additive manufacturing process. The method may also include introducing at least one relief joint into the molded part during production in order to prevent or reduce tensile stresses in the molded part.

Abstract: An air inlet arrangement of a front fairing of a vehicle includes an air inlet element having at least one air inlet opening, and at least one adjustable air flap which is movable into an open position and into a closed position. The air flap in the open position opens up the air inlet opening and in the closed position closes the air inlet opening. The air flap is formed in two parts with two flap elements which are adjustable in an opposed manner.

The fiber reinforcement is formed by an opaque visible layer or a visible layer in the form of a metalized glass fiber layer and by substantially transparent structural layers.

Abstract: A vehicle has a display screen designed to be moved between an observation position and a reflection position. The display screen has a display screen surface, wherein, when in the observation position, the display screen surface can be directly observed by a user of the vehicle from a user position of the vehicle. The vehicle has a reflecting surface, wherein, in the reflecting position, the display screen surface faces the reflecting surface such that an image displayed on the display screen surface generates a mirror image on the reflecting surface, which mirror image is visible to a user of the vehicle from the user position of the vehicle.

Abstract: A protective unit is provided for a battery module of a high-voltage battery of a motor vehicle for electrically insulating cell housings of prismatic battery cells of the battery module, which battery cells are stacked to form a cell stack. A cell-contacting system of the battery module interconnects the battery cells by electrically connecting cell terminals of the battery cells. The protective unit includes a pre-formed intermediate layer made of an electrically insulating material, which intermediate layer can be applied to a side of the cell stack having the cell terminals and can be arranged between the side of the cell stack having the cell terminals and the cell-contacting system. The intermediate layer has a number of cut-outs which corresponds to the number of cells terminals. The cut-outs are provided for the feeding through of the cell terminals when the intermediate layer is applied to the cell stack.
