    Inventors: Patrick Heinemann, Andreas Reich
  • Patent number: 9043049
    Abstract: Data and consequently settings in a motor vehicle are personalized in the present case using a central data processing device. The latter knows the positions of a motor vehicle or a plurality of motor vehicles and transmits these positions to a mobile communication appliance, which compares the transmitted positions with its own. If the result of the comparison is that the mobile communication appliance is situated in proximity to one of the motor vehicles, personalized data are transmitted, which can then be used to make personalized settings.

  • Patent number: 9020762
    Abstract: Ground-based devices are provided which each have a transceiver apparatus and a data memory. Route data are stored in the data memory. This route data can be transmitted in a wireless fashion from the ground-based device to motor vehicles so that information relating to such a route is made available in the motor vehicles which are located outside the sensing range of a sensing apparatus of the motor vehicle.

  • Patent number: 8880238
    Abstract: A person is to be assisted in planning a journey with an electric vehicle. Information relating to an overall region with destinations within reach of the electric vehicle are outputted. For this purpose, a starting region is determined, from which a boundary can be reached with the electric vehicle from a current vehicle location and based on a current state of charge of the energy storage device without recharging. Locations of charging stations are then determined in the starting region. For each charging station, the boundary of a region is determined that can be reached indirectly from the respective charging station without further recharging, based on a state of charge that changed when the electric vehicle was recharged. The overall region is composed of the starting region and regions that can be reached indirectly.

  • Patent number: 5055440
    Abstract: A catalyst is used for removing toxic substances from the exhaust gases of combustion installations and internal combustion engines, by reduction with carbon monoxide, hydrogen, hydrocarbons or ammonia. The catalyst is produced using a single-phase or multi-phase mixed oxide system with a pure perovskite structure or a perovskite and spinel structure. To produce the catalyst, carbonates or oxides of lanthanum, strontium, manganese, iron and copper are mixed, crushed, dried and ground to a fine powder with a particle size between 0.1 and 5 microns. This powder is then processed to form a catalytically active layer.

  • Patent number: 5047388
    Abstract: A superconductor and a method of producing the same include a supporting substrate and a superconducting oxide ceramic material applied to the supporting substrate. At least one thermally and chemically stable intermediate layer is applied directly between the superconducting ceramic material and the substrate.

  • Patent number: 4738512
    Abstract: The clearance-free fit for cylindrical mountings, in particular photographic lenses, is produced by recesses in the inner wall of a main mounting and projections in the outer wall of an individual mounting, to be fastened in the main mounting by inserting and by a relative rotary movement between the two mountings. The recesses and the projections are of such a configuration that a sufficiently large clearance s is present when the individual mounting is inserted, and this clearance is removed by turning to produce a frictional connection.

  • Patent number: 4412904
    Abstract: An electrochemical measuring cell, in particular for the determination of the oxygen content in gases, which has an ion-conducting, solid electrolyte. The latter is provided with at least one electrode in the form of a porous layer containing electron-conducting, ceramic oxide material.For the improvement of the electron-conductivity of the electrode there is embedded in the layer metallic material such as a metal wire whose electron-conductivity is greater than the electron-conductivity of the oxide material. Only as much metallic material need be added to increase the electron-conductivity of the electrode sufficiently to a predetermined value.
