  • METHOD FOR ADJUSTING AN INERTIAL SENSOR COMPONENT BY MEANS OF A CALIBRATION DEVICE, CALIBRATION DEVICE, BASE DEVICE AND INERTIAL SENSOR COMPONENT
    Publication number: 20240167845
    Abstract: A method for adjusting an inertial sensor component using a calibration device. The calibration device includes a base device or the base device is connected to the calibration device. The method includes: in a first step for adjusting the inertial sensor component, its housing is positioned and/or aligned relative to the base device that is arranged in the calibration device and connected thereto, in a second step following the first step, the base device and the inertial sensor component are adjusted and/or calibrated using the calibration device by applying a defined acceleration in at least one spatial direction and/or a defined rotation rate in at least one spatial direction.

  • Method for producing a backrest rear panel
    Patent number: 9724858
    Abstract: In a method for producing a backrest rear panel from at least one organic sheet, a plurality of reinforcing beads and a frame-shaped bead, which circles the reinforcing beads, are formed in at least one organic sheet. In a molding tool, a rib structure is formed in the circling frame-shaped bead on the rear of the backrest rear panel in such a manner that a rib structure closes flush with the rear of the backrest rear panel, with the result that an even surface is formed on the rear of the backrest rear panel. A bonded connection is formed between the organic sheet and rib structure with the result that a one-piece component is formed.
