Abstract: Shading device with a shading structure windably held on a winding shaft arranged in a vehicle-mounted receiving region with a passage through which the shading structure is pulled into a shading position or wound up into an inoperative position. The passage is closed or opened by a pivotably mounted closing part. The shading structure is provided with a profile movable along the window with the aid of a drive system to shift the shading structure between the inoperative and shading positions. The closing part is controlled by a control mechanism between closed and opening positions depending on a shifting movement of the pull-out profile. The control mechanism has a rotatable eccentric disk operatively connected to the closing part, the outer circumference of which has different control contours for reproducing the closed position and the opening position of the closing part depending on a rotational position of the disk.

Abstract: Shading device for a window pane of an automotive vehicle including a flexible shading structure held on a winding shaft. The shaft is disposed in a vehicle-fixed accommodating region with a passage, through and across which passage the shading structure is displaceable between a rest position wound up on the winding shaft and a shading position covering the window pane. The passage is capable of being closed or exposed via a pivotably mounted closing part. A drive system is provided for displacing the shading structure between the rest position and the shading position, and control kinematics are provided, coupled to the drive system, for forced control of an opening or closing movement of the closing part. The control kinematics include a cable pull arrangement provided with a cable control pulley having at least one cable deflection track eccentric in relation to a rotational axis of the cable control pulley.

Abstract: A portable device includes: a display screen; a processor; and an input device operable by a user, wherein the processor controls the display screen to display a graphical user interface comprising a plurality of images arranged in a three dimensional (3D) space in one of a depth layout and a curved layout. In the depth layout mode images are displayed arranged such that at least a first image is positioned further away in the 3D space than a second image and each image is positioned upon a two dimensional (2D) surface extending into the 3D space, transverse to the 2D surface at its respective position and facing the plane of the display screen.

Abstract: There are provided a laser joining head assembly and a laser joining method for simultaneously performing joint tracking and seam inspection of a joint while said joining head assembly is in relative motion along the joint. The laser joining head assembly comprises integrated tracking laser line projecting means and integrated inspection laser line projecting means for respectively projecting a tracking laser line and an inspection laser line on the joint, thereby allowing to respectively generate successive joint transverse profiles and seam transverse profiles. These profiles are processed to respectively provide joint data and seam data, thereby allowing to perform said joint tracking and said seam inspection of said joint during said motion.
