Abstract: An evaporator includes an inlet in a lower manifold, an outlet in an upper manifold, and a multiport tube extending between the lower manifold and the upper manifold. The multiport tube provides a flow path between the lower manifold and the upper manifold. One of the outer side walls of the multiport tube is provided with a first evaporator section with a first heat receiving surface and a second evaporator section with a second heat receiving surface, the first and second evaporator sections passing a heat load received via the respective first and second heat receiving surfaces to a fluid in said multiport tube. The first and second heat receiving surfaces form an angle with each other to align with and contact different surfaces of an object to be cooled.

Abstract: A method for the remote control of a function of a vehicle by a mobile operating device, involves enabling or disabling the function of the vehicle, such as an autonomous function for maneuvering into or out of a parking space, based on a sensed movement of the operating device. Enablement of the function requires that the sensed movement is a micromovement, a micromovement being a movement that is limited in the extent thereof and/or in the dynamics thereof.

Abstract: A generator switch including an encapsulation lying at ground potential and an electrical conductor arranged in an insulated fashion inside the encapsulation and at high-voltage potential, as well as a gravity-driven cooling device having an evaporator and a condenser arranged above the evaporator and a coolant. The cooling device is formed as a closed loop-type coolant circuit. During operation of the generator switch, a level of the liquid coolant in the line system in a static cooling device is at least as high as the upper end of the insulating section in the insulator.

Abstract: A method for operating a vehicle in at least one parking process situation involves allocating at least one predetermined vehicle-specific or parking process situation-specific function to the at least one predetermined parking process situation of the vehicle. Whether the vehicle is in the at least one predetermined parking process situation is determined and the predetermined vehicle-specific or parking process situation-specific function allocated to the at least one predetermined parking process situation is presented to a vehicle user for activation or automatically activated when the vehicle is in the at least one predetermined parking process situation.

Abstract: A method of moving a vehicle from a start position to end position when the end position cannot be detected by the vehicle's built-in sensors involves determining the start position by a mobile terminal or by the vehicle and determining the end position by the mobile terminal. A driving trajectory of the vehicle is planned within the vehicle, a driving maneuver of the vehicle is initiated by the vehicle or the mobile terminal, and the planned driving maneuver is carried out to reach the end position.

Abstract: A method and a device for the remote control of a function of a vehicle is disclosed. A wireless communication connection is established between a portable operating device and the vehicle. A gesture executed by a user is detected by the portable operating device and transmitted, for controlling the function, to the vehicle by the communication connection. The function is executed if the detected gesture corresponds to a predefined gesture allocated to the function. The predefined gesture corresponds to a continuous movement and the function is executed only as long as the gesture executed by the user is detected.

Abstract: A method for performing an automatic parking process of a vehicle involves offering a user a selection between at least two parking maneuver for implementing by a driver assistance system in the vehicle. The first parking maneuver is a direct parking maneuver in which an automatic parking process is performed from the start position directly to the target position along the trajectory. The second parking maneuver involves providing a break point the parking trajectory so that a user can disembark the vehicle at the break point and prior to the target position.

Abstract: An autonomous parking procedure of a motor vehicle involves transferring a command to activate the autonomous parking procedure using a communication link between an operator situated outside the motor vehicle and the motor vehicle. Before beginning the autonomous parking procedure of the motor vehicle the target position and/or last driven trajectory of the motor vehicle is stored in a storage device. The motor vehicle then performs the parking procedure autonomously from the start position using the stored data after the first activation of the autonomous parking procedure.

Abstract: A method for determining a journey time is proposed for a journey route for a following vehicle which is traveling in a sequence of vehicles. This method comprises the steps: journey profile data is registered by at least one vehicle traveling ahead in the sequence, the journey profile data comprising at least one travel time or data from which travel time can be determined, for a route component between two positions on the journey route, and the journey time for a route comprising the route component is calculated from the journey profile data, journey profile information which comprises the journey profile data or the journey time being transmitted to at least one receiving following vehicle using vehicle-to-vehicle communication by at least one transmitting vehicle traveling ahead. In order to determine the journey time, the journey information of a plurality of vehicles is preferably transferred to following vehicles by forming a transmission chain.
