Patent number: 11541770Abstract: A method for bringing a vehicle closer to a vehicle-external primary charging unit configured to inductively charge the vehicle, where the vehicle includes a secondary charging unit, a camera system and a display device, includes the steps of a) capturing a real-time image of a vehicle environment using the camera system, wherein the primary charging unit is included in the real-time image, b) displaying the real-time image on the display device, and c) inserting at least one guide line into the real-time image. The direction and/or curvature of the guide line coincides with a steering angle lock of the vehicle such that the guide line corresponds to the trajectory of the vehicle in the case of the steering angle lock.

Patent number: 6700221Abstract: An electronic unit in a motor vehicle has a connection for the negative onboard power supply voltage and a connection for the positive onboard power supply voltage, as well as an internal electric supply unit that can be used independently of the polarity of the onboard power supply voltage and independently of the onboard power supply voltage. The unit includes a function block which compares the actual voltage at the connection for the negative onboard power supply voltage with the actual voltage at the connection for the positive onboard power supply voltage. A polarity inversion of the onboard power supply voltage is detected (and a storage of the polarity inversion detection data is caused) if the actual voltage at the connection for the negative onboard power supply voltage is higher than the actual voltage at the connection for the positive power supply voltage, or if the respective actual voltages exceed preset reference values.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2001Date of Patent: March 2, 2004Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Armin Wagner, Christina Seidel, Christoph Luthe, Hans-Ulrich Stahl

Patent number: 6100796Abstract: In an obstacle recognition system in a motor vehicle with an electronic control device and with sensors to detect the distance of an obstacle in a predetermined area, the control device, in a defined partial area of a part, possibly mounted on the vehicle, that could be detected by a sensor as an obstacle, in the event of an actual obstacle being recognized in this partial area, in a first step determines the distance of the obstacle. In a second step, the control device checks to see whether this distance is changing. The alarm that is usually triggered as a function of the distance of the obstacle is suppressed if the distance of the obstacle detected in the defined partial area does not change.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 1999Date of Patent: August 8, 2000Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Armin Wagner, Walter Horst

Patent number: 5583382Abstract: A circuit for internal illumination of motor vehicles having a controller, coupled to the internal illumination, that automatically turns the internal illumination on and off as a function of operating state parameters of the motor vehicle according to a predetermined switching program. The controller is a deliberately operable electrical controller. The circuit also includes a control device, coupled to and controlled by the controller, that switches the switching program off and the internal illumination permanently on in response to being controlled by the controller.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 1994Date of Patent: December 10, 1996Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AGInventor: Armin Wagner

Patent number: 4447379Abstract: To produce ceramic lithium nitride as solid electrolyte for galvanic lithium cells, Li.sub.3 N powder is first stirred together with molten Li-metal serving as binder, in a noble gas atmosphere. After cooling, the mixture is pressed into a shaped body and the shaped body is then sintered in nitrogen at temperatures of about 700.degree. C. This causes the Li-binder to also become transformed into Li.sub.3 N. The binding with lithium also makes the powdery starting material suitable for rolling, and shaped bodies such as tablets can be cut out of the ductile rolled product with high precision.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 1982Date of Patent: May 8, 1984Assignee: Varta Batterie AktiengesellschaftInventor: Armin Wagner

Patent number: 4362793Abstract: A galvanic cell with solid electrolyte, which is dischargeable at room temperature and whose positive electrode consists of the metals Sb, Bi, or of the oxides or chalcogenides of these metals, or of mixtures of members of the respective groups, bases its current productive processes upon the formation of a reversible inter-metallic combination between the Sb or Bi and the alkali metal of the negative electrode. The reaction equations are:3Li+Bi=Li.sub.3 Bi or (1)12 Li+Bi.sub.2 O.sub.3 =2 Li.sub.3 Bi+3Li.sub.2 O (2)A cathode material according to equation (2) is particularly desirable because Bi.sub.2 O.sub.3 has a higher volumetric capacity than Bi, due to the greater electron transition from Bi.sup.3+ to Bi.sup.3-, thereby yielding higher energy density. In both cases the discharge potential is 0.8 V. As the solid electrolyte, Li.sub.3 N or Na.sub.3 Zr.sub.2 Si.sub.2 PO.sub.12 (Nasicon) can be used.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 1981Date of Patent: December 7, 1982Assignee: Varta Batterie AktiengesellschaftInventors: Rainer Bittihn, Armin Wagner, Jean-Paul Randin, Jean-Daniel Rosselet
