  • Patent number: 8905414
    Abstract: A stabilizer arrangement for a chassis of a motor vehicle, having at least one actuator which compensates for vehicle movements entirely or partially in the region of a wheel suspension which is connected to the stabilizer arrangement, wherein the actuator can be actuated via flexible lines. The actuator is connected to a central control unit via flexible lines to be routed from the central control unit, via openings which are arranged in a stabilizer bearing, to the actuator which interacts with a stabilizer, wherein the flexible lines are arranged around the stabilizer in a helical manner, and operation of the actuator causes a change in the diameter of the helix or the helix shape of the flexible lines which are laid in a helical manner.

  • Patent number: 8905453
    Abstract: A motor vehicle has a structural component and a first and second interior trim part, which are butt jointed directly to one another in a butt jointing region. The two interior trim parts separate a passenger compartment interior from a venting space situated between the structural component and the interior trim parts. A section or sections of the first interior trim part in the butt jointing region has a concave arched profile facing the second interior trim part, thereby canceling the butt joint and forming an air duct between the passenger compartment interior and the venting space.

  • Patent number: 8907828
    Abstract: A method for testing the material of a test object (8) in a nondestructive manner, said test object being moved relative to a probe (1) at a variable relative speed, comprises the following steps: detecting a probe signal (US) by means of the probe (1), subjecting the probe signal (US) to analog-to-digital conversion in order to generate a digitized probe signal (USD) in the form of a sequence of digital words with a predefined, in particular constant, word repetition rate, n-stage decimation of the word repetition rate of the digitized probe signal (USD) or of a digital demodulation signal (UM) derived from the digitized probe signal by means of n cascaded decimation stages (5_1 to 5_n), where n?2, selecting an output signal (UA_1 to UA_n) of one of the n decimation stages (5_1 to 5_n) depending on the instantaneous relative speed and filtering the selected output signal by means of a digital filter (7), which is clocked with the word repetition rate of the selected output signal.

  • Publication number: 20140350828
    Abstract: A device for operating a motor vehicle includes a drive unit configured to drive the motor vehicle in order to make available adjustable starting assistance. A sensing unit is configured to sense a brake pressure of a brake arrangement of the motor vehicle, where the brake pressure is adjustable using a brake pedal. A control unit is configured to set a degree of starting assistance that is made available when the brake pressure, which is sensed during a stationary state of the motor vehicle, exceeds a predefined threshold value.

  • Publication number: 20140346810
    Abstract: An air-guiding device (12) is arranged in a rear-end region of a vehicle and has a central main air-guiding element (13) that is displaceable from a retracted rest position into a deployed operating position. Lateral auxiliary air-guiding elements (14, 15) are adjustable substantially linearly relative to the main air-guiding element (13) in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle to be transferred from a rest position, in which they are retracted into the main air-guiding element (13), into an operating position, in which they are deployed out of the main air-guiding element (13). Each auxiliary air-guiding element is movable along a guide unit (22) in the main air-guiding element (13) and is guided in the guide unit (22) in a first direction by at least one slide element (26) and in a second direction by at least one guide pin (27).
