  • Publication number: 20060249996
    Abstract: An air-distribution system (20) for the distribution of air in a structural unit (30) in the passenger compartment of a vehicle, in particular in a vehicle seat (31). The system has at least one air-distribution layer (4), which is located on a base (6?), and at least one limiting mechanism (41?), which at least partially limits the air-distribution layer (4) laterally at at least one of its peripheral edges (53). The limiting means (41?) is designed as at least partially different from base such that it is not integral with the base.

  • Patent number: 6265791
    Abstract: An energy transmission device allows several consumers to be supplied with energy independent of one another and provides contactless transmission of energy from a primary current line, through which alternating current flows, to a number of secondary, resident load circuits with at least one coil, each of which draws energy from the electromagnetic field of the current lead. An auxiliary line runs parallel to the current lead and it is connected with the current lead via several connecting points in order to conduct current from a first connecting point via the auxiliary line to a second connecting point. In at least one section of the line, between two connecting points, an adjustable impedance is provided in the auxiliary line which is controlled by a monitoring device in order to prevent blocking of the line by a disconnected consumer.
