  • Publication number: 20230219045
    Abstract: A device for adding and mixing an additive into a hydraulically settable mixture includes a tubular cavity for conducting the hydraulically settable mixture through in an intended flow direction, wherein a static flow-influencing element, in which there is an aperture that leads into the cavity and is intended for introducing the additive, projects into the cavity.

  • Patent number: 10936108
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus, particularly in a motor vehicle, for input of data with haptic feedback. The method includes sensing a touch position on a user programmable touch-sensitive display device, selecting a function via the touch position, sensing of a contact pressure force on the user programmable touch-sensitive display device, initiating the selected function when a first force threshold is exceeded, and outputting a haptic feedback item. Also disclosed is an associated apparatus.

  • Patent number: 10585481
    Abstract: The invention relates to operating devices for a vehicle with haptic feedback comprising a touch-sensitive position detection device (30) for determining touch positions as input parameters on a touch surface (31) of the touch-sensitive position detection device (30); an actuator device (50), coupled to the touch-sensitive position detection device (30), for generating the haptically detectable feedback on the touch surface (31); and an operating logic (1030) which is designed to execute a triggering of functions and/or vehicle systems depending on detected input parameters, wherein the touch-sensitive position detection device (30) and the actuator device (50) are designed with a haptic control device (100) in an operating device (2), and the operating logic (1030) is designed in a central control unit (330), which is designed separately from the operating device (2) and coupled in terms of information technology with the operating device (2), and detected input parameters are transmitted to the central cont

  • Publication number: 20160195931
    Abstract: Touch-sensitive operating apparatuses having a touchscreen which generates a haptic feedback in the event of an actuation of a virtual operating element and methods for operating functions. The method includes representing a virtual operating element on a display surface, detecting touch positions on a touch surface of a touch-sensitive position detection apparatus, detecting press-on forces in the event of a touching actuation of the touch surface, evaluating the detected touch positions and press-on forces, determining whether a correct haptic actuation of the virtual operating element is present, initiating a function assigned to the at least one virtual operating element, and generating a haptic feedback at the touch surface. The operating apparatus has a haptic controller which, on the basis of the press-on forces determined, generates two different haptic feedbacks in the event of an actuation process of a virtual operating element.

  • Publication number: 20160195932
    Abstract: An apparatus, in particular in a motor vehicle, for inputting a text with haptic feedback, having a touch-sensitive position detection device for determining a two-dimensional actuation element position; at least one actuator element for haptic feedback that is directly or indirectly connected to the touch-sensitive position detection device; and a control device which defines initiation regions of virtual operating elements, wherein a signal is in each case output at the actuator element when the two-dimensional actuation element position accesses and leaves the initiation region of one of the virtual operating elements. Also disclosed is an associated method.
