Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cargo-space management system (10) for a cargo space (14), to a vehicle (12) and to methods for loading and unloading objects. The cargo-space management system (10) comprises at least one camera system (16), a control device (24) having an object identification mechanism and a locating mechanism, and at least one human-machine interface (30). The control device (24) is coupled at least to the camera system (16) and the human-machine interface (30). At least one camera (18) of the camera system (16) has a mounting device (20) such that the respective camera (18) can be positioned in a displaceable manner within the cargo space (14).

Abstract: A method for operating a vehicle having at least one surface region designed to come into direct contact with a user, and at least one sensor to register a direct contact between the at least one surface region and the user. The method includes registering the beginning of a use of the vehicle by the user, registering direct contacts of the user with the at least one defined surface region by using the at least one sensor, registering the end of the use of the vehicle by the user, evaluating the registered direct contacts of the user with the at least one surface region, wherein the surface region is classified with respect to a potential degree of soiling of the surface region caused by the direct contacts during the use, and outputting a notification on the potential degree of soiling of the surface region.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preventing fatigue of a driver of a motor vehicle (4), with the steps of: acquiring position data (PDM0) indicative of the position of the driver, and activating and/or deactivating light glasses (10) worn by the driver depending on an evaluation of the acquired position data (PDM) indicative of the position of the driver.

Abstract: An air outlet for controlling an air flow has a ventilator housing and a direction and diffuser arrangement received in the ventilator housing. An air channel is formed by the ventilator housing and the direction and diffuser arrangement. In order to adjust flow properties of the air flow, the direction and diffuser arrangement is constructed so as to be able to be moved in a rotational manner about a center axis of the ventilator housing and/or moved in translation along the center axis of the ventilator housing and/or pivoted relative to the center axis of the ventilator housing.

Abstract: A wheel rim assembly for a wheel of a motor vehicle may include a wheel rim and a cover portion arranged on an outside of the wheel rim. The cover portion may be guided on the wheel rim so as to be movable relative to the wheel rim between an open position allowing an air flow between the outside and an inside of the wheel rim, and a closed position preventing the air flow. Conversion from the open position to the closed position takes place automatically based on an operating state of the wheel. The cover portion may be configured as a disc-like component covering the outside. The cover portion may be arranged movably parallel to an axis of the wheel rim between the open position and the closed position, in the open position opening a ring gap between an edge of the cover portion and the wheel rim.

Abstract: A motor vehicle monitoring system displays air quality data comprised of a particulate matter concentration to a vehicle occupant. Fine particulate measurement values are collected from a sensor. At least one state parameter of the motor vehicle is detected, wherein the state parameter is indicative of a temporary disturbance of a concentration of the fine particulates exposed to the sensor. The fine particulate measurement values may be updated according to a correction factor as a function of the detected state parameter. The state parameter may include an air temperature, an air humidity, a current geographic position of the motor vehicle, an opened or closed state of a vehicle door, an opened or closed state of a vehicle window, an operating state of a blower fan of an air conditioning system, and a determination whether smoking is currently taking place in the motor vehicle.

Abstract: Apparatus for testing the directional hearing of a test person uses an audio system with a plurality of audio transducers to produce audible audio signals to a position of the test person and a light output system with a plurality of light output devices to produce visible light signals to the position of the test person. A control device is configured to activate the audio system to output a plurality of audible audio signals one after another arriving at the position of the test person in such a way that they arrive or appear to arrive from a selected one of a plurality of different directions, and to activate the light output devices to indicate the selected direction at a particular time in relation to the respective audio signals.
