  • Publication number: 20160029603
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a beehive (1,1a,1b) having a container (3) for receiving or containing honeycomb frames (6) and a cover (2) for removing the honeycomb frames (6), wherein the container (3) and the cover (2) form with their inner surface (45, 46) an inner area which has in a vertical middle section of said inner area a maximum horizontal diameter, and said horizontal diameter decreases, at least locally, towards the vertical ends of the inner area, characterized in that the container (3) comprises at least one container section, which forms, with its inner surface (46) towards the inner area, a concave surface within said container section. Furthermore the present invention encompasses a beehive system (30).

  • Patent number: 6216068
    Abstract: A method for driver-behavior-adaptive control of a variably adjustable motor vehicle accessory. One or more parameters indicative of driver behavior are sensed and a pertinent driver behavior is ascertained therefrom. Accessory adjustment is performed variably as a function of the driver behavior that was ascertained. The driver behavior is ascertained in terms of a long-term driving manner component, and a short-term dynamic demand component and/or a steady-speed request component. Accessory adjustment is performed, if a short-term dynamic demand exists, in accordance with an adjustment characteristic having a dynamic level corresponding at least to that dynamic demand. When a constant-speed request exists, accessory adjustment is performed in accordance with a relevant low-dynamic adjustment characteristic. Otherwise, accessory adjustment is performed in accordance with an adjustment characteristic determined by the long-term driving manner component.
