Abstract: A method for operating a storage system of a motor vehicle for a product includes outputting a piece of product information for the product from a service provider external to the motor vehicle on an output device of the storage system. The method further includes transferring a selection of the product by a user of the storage system to the service provider by a transmission device of the storage system and adjusting a shape of a storage device of the storage system for the product by a shifting actuating mechanism of the storage device depending on the product.
Abstract: A motor vehicle includes a boot lid and a receiving device. The receiving device is configured to receive an electric miniature vehicle. The receiving device has a frame, a flexible bag, and a cover that is openable, where the flexible bag and the frame are sealable by the cover from above. The receiving device in a mounted state is arrangeable behind a back seat of the motor vehicle such that the cover in a closed state forms a rear parcel shelf. The receiving device has an electric port where via the electric port the electric miniature vehicle is attachable to an on-board power supply of the motor vehicle for charging a battery of the electric miniature vehicle.
Abstract: A fluid filter for a motor vehicle includes a filter housing and a filter cartridge which is fixable on the filter housing by rotating around a longitudinal axis of the filter cartridge. A holding element having a web is disposed on an end plate of the filter cartridge where the web protrudes from a wall of the holding element and where the wall is formed as a spiral shape. The web of the holding element is engageable behind a holding web of a counter bearing disposed on the filter housing that is spiral shaped. The holding web has an incline in a rotational direction in comparison to an abutment region of the filter housing on which a sealing element of the filter cartridge abuts.
Abstract: A method for operating a vehicle includes carrying out a lane-keeping control of the vehicle along a course of a lane travelled in by the vehicle. When lane markings are detected, the course of the lane is determined on a basis of detected lane markings. When lane markings are not detected, the course of the lane is determined in a mapped-based manner on a basis of data from a digital map where a rough localization of the vehicle in the digital map and a fine localization of the vehicle in the digital map is performed.
Abstract: An electric truck frame of an electric truck driven by electric power supplied from a battery includes a pair of side rails supporting a cab that are coupled by a plurality of cross members. The battery is disposed between the pair of side rails at a rear side of the cab. The pair of side rails include a plurality of elastic support sections that elastically support both ends of the battery in an electric truck width direction in a battery region in which the battery is disposed between the pair of side rails. The plurality of cross members are prohibited from being placed in the battery region.
Abstract: Exemplary method, system, device and computer-accessible medium can be provided for synchronizing a plurality of sensor systems with respect to a respective phase for providing data. For example, each of the sensor systems can periodically provide the data. This can be done by, e.g., (i) generating a phase request from at least one processing unit for each of the plurality of sensor systems, whereas the processing unit(s) can be configured to receive the data from the plurality of sensor systems, (ii) analysing all phase requests to ascertain executeability thereof, (iii) generating target phase requests if the phase requests have been determined and/or confirmed as being executable, and (iv) transmitting the respective target phase requests to the respective sensor systems for synchronizing the phases of the plurality of the different sensor systems.

Abstract: A group transmission device includes a main transmission which has a main shaft, a countershaft and a spur gear pair which includes a first spur gear arranged coaxially and axially overlapping with the main shaft and a second spur gear arranged coaxially and axially overlapping with the countershaft. A range group has a first shaft non-rotationally connected to the main shaft, a second shaft non-rotationally connected to a transmission output shaft, a third shaft and a blocking switching unit. A first switching unit non-rotationally connects the third shaft to a housing. A second switching unit has an axially shiftable switching element and non-rotationally connects the third shaft to the first spur gear. The main shaft is coupled non-rotationally to a transmission input shaft. A third switching unit has an axially shiftable further switching element and non-rotationally connects the first spur gear to the first shaft of the range group.

Abstract: A vehicle designed for an automated driving operation may have a ventilation device for ventilating a vehicle interior. A control unit and at least one pressure sensor assembly may be provided. The control unit may be designed to activate the ventilation device and to determine a setpoint pressure value of the air pressure within the vehicle interior while the vehicle interior is closed, to infer damage to a vehicle shell surrounding the vehicle interior. Further, the control unit may block the automated driving operation if it is inferred that there is damage to the vehicle shell. Methods for detecting damage to the vehicle and for operating a vehicle are also provided. A device for carrying out a method for detecting damage to a vehicle and/or for carrying out a method for operating a vehicle to a computer program and to a machine-readable storage medium are also provided.
