  • Patent number: 11936260
    Abstract: A stator for an electric machine includes: a laminated stator core including stator grooves and having a plug-in side and a bending side, which bending side lies opposite the plug-in side in an axial direction; a stator winding having hairpin elements which are pushed into the stator grooves on the plug-in side of the laminated stator core and bent and electrically connected to the stator winding on the bending side of the laminated stator core; and an end plate which is arranged on the plug-in side in the axial direction between the laminated stator core and the hairpin elements. The hairpin elements are arranged in the axial direction so as to bear against the end plate.

  • Patent number: 10440357
    Abstract: A system is described for determining an imaging deviation of a camera having: the camera, which is focused on a first distance, having a target pattern unit, which is situated at a second distance from the camera in a field of view of the camera and which has a three-dimensional surface texture having calibration markings, having a lens unit which is situated at a third distance from the camera and between the target pattern unit and the camera and is developed so that the three-dimensional surface texture is able to be imaged by the camera, and having a control unit that is connected to the camera and which is developed so that the imaging deviation of the camera is determinable by evaluating an image taken of the calibration markings of the three-dimensional surface texture. Also described is a method for determining an imaging deviation of a camera.

  • Patent number: 8743202
    Abstract: A device is described for a motor vehicle, having at least one first camera and at least one second camera, the first camera and the second camera acting as a stereo camera, the first camera and the second camera being different with respect to at least one camera property, in particular the light sensitivity of the first camera and the light sensitivity of the second camera being different. Furthermore the device is configured in such a way that the driver assistance function of night vision support and/or traffic sign recognition and/or object recognition and/or road boundary recognition and/or lane recognition and/or other functions are ensured.

  • Patent number: 8721144
    Abstract: A method and a device for illuminating an edge region of a roadway by headlights of a vehicle are disclosed. The vehicle includes a camera. Activating takes place of at least one additional illuminating device or a masking of an headlight that is present on the vehicle. An additional illuminated region is generated which extends in the vertical and the lateral direction with respect to the vehicle. Activating the at least one additional illuminating device or headlight masking at least one headlight present in the vehicle takes place by a navigation system of the vehicle or in response to a decrease in the speed of the vehicle and/or by an object/traffic sign detection using the camera.
