Abstract: An imaging system for a land vehicle may include an imaging sensor, an evaluation device, and an output interface. The imaging sensor may be configured to acquire first signals and second signals, wherein the first signals are obtained via beam pulses provided by a first emitter and reflected on an object and the second signals are obtained via beam patterns provided by a second emitter and reflected on the objected. The evaluation device may be configured to obtain a first distance measurement based on the first signals and a second distance measurement based on the second signals. The evaluation device may also be configured to obtain a third distance measurement via a comparison of the first distance measurement and the second distance measurement.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for calibrating a camera-based system of a vehicle (F), having a pane (S), in particular of a camera-based driver assistance system. A type of the pane (S), in particular the tinting thereof, is detected by way of the camera-based system.

Abstract: A method for determining at least one threshold value S for distinguishing, in the dark, between reflectors and vehicle lights that are recorded as light spots by a camera sensor oriented towards the surroundings of a vehicle. The camera sensor records a series of images of the surroundings of the vehicle. At least one light spot in the series of images is tracked. When the tracking of a light spot is completed, at least one parameter (for example the maximum intensity Imax of the light spot in the entire series of images, or the lifetime ? of the light spot) is determined from measured values, for example from the intensity of the light spot in each image. The threshold value S is then adapted to the determined parameter/s. The determined parameter value of the light spot is included in a frequency distribution of the parameter values from previously tracked light spots.

Abstract: A composition and method for cleaning surfaces having deposits, such as drink water tanks, supply water wells, water filter systems, and distributor water lines. The composition contains in combination a cleaning solution and a disinfectant, such as hydrogen peroxide or peracidic acid. The cleaning solution can includes hydrochloric acid and/or phosphoric acid in combination with inhibitors, dyes and water. The composition is applied to deposits which have formed on these surfaces.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for allocating static inverters to loads involves regulating an inverter to be switched to zero current flow at the instant of switching. Each inverter is connected to an input distributor for receiving inverter drive signals and to an output distributor for supplying power to a load. An equalizing regulator controls the share of total current generated by each inverter connected to the load limited by the capacity of the inverter. A total current regulator controls the total current supplied to the load limited by the total of the capacities of the inverters connected to the load.

Abstract: An exhaust gas return installation for auto-ignition internal combustion engines for the admixture of a part of the exhaust gases to the sucked-in air, in which a spring-loaded baffle disk acted upon by the suction air stream together with a valve acted upon by the exhaust counter-pressure control the exhaust gas admixture according to the output and the rotational speed of the internal combustion engine.
