Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a vehicle safety arrangement and method for preventing or mitigating accidents when turning across lanes with oncoming traffic in a vehicle including an Electrical Power Assisted Steering (EPAS). Oncoming traffic in one or more adjacent lanes and other vehicles approaching from behind are detected by forward and rearward looking detection systems respectively. An intention to turn across an adjacent lane is determined. Standstill of the host vehicle is determined. A control unit is arranged to, during determined standstill and a determined intention to turn across a lane containing oncoming traffic, determine if a risk of the host vehicle being hit from behind is high, and if so determined, generate and send a control signal to an EPAS control unit, which, in response to receiving such a control signal, is arranged to cause the EPAS to align the steerable wheels of the host vehicle.

Abstract: A printer capable of operation with linered and/or liner-less media. Powder coated media surfaces, a silicone platen roller and tear-off blade are either designed into the media path or retrofitted into a linered media capable printer. To remove the requirement for realignment between the media path extrusion and the print head a media path extrusion cover designed to snap on to the media path extrusion is utilized.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling the amount of energy from a printer head in a thermo-printer. The appropriate amount of energy for obtaining the best possible print quality with a certain printing material is controlled through calculating the amount of energy required as a function of the printing speed of the printer, over the full range of printer speed, and of the characteristic printing material data. The printing speed is continuously variable within the complete printing speed range of the printer. Characteristic data for the printing material are classified for magnitude and may be given as an offset relative to a reference material, or as absolute values.
