Abstract: A contact system to establish an electrical connection between a vehicle electrical system and a vehicle seat. The contact system includes a contact rail and at least one contact socket attached to the vehicle seat. The contact rail has at least two contact strips connected to the vehicle electrical system, while the contact socket has a sliding unit with contact elements movably retained in a housing unit. A relative movement between the sliding unit and the housing unit is carried out to electrically connect to the vehicle electrical system when the vehicle seat is retained in the guide rails. Removal of the electrical contact is achieved upon removal of the vehicle seat from the guide rails.

Abstract: A seat position detection apparatus for a vehicle seat which is guided using a seat rail in a floor rail of the vehicle. The seat position detection apparatus has a lock for the longitudinal setting of the seat rail and the floor rail in relation to one another, and a mechanical memory device that has a position determination unit and a position detection unit, which may be started symmetrically from both directions of the longitudinal adjustment of the vehicle seat to define a vehicle seat position.

Abstract: A vehicle seat adjuster for adjusting the inclination of a backrest with respect to the seat.

Abstract: An electrode (10) for a combination of supercapacitor and battery, comprising an active structure (12), wherein the active structure (12) comprises an active material layer (18) which is divided into strips in the plane and capacitor strips (16) and battery strips (14) are arranged alternately in the plane, is proposed. Also a process for producing such an electrode (10) and a combined supercapacitor and battery cell comprising at least one such electrode.

Abstract: A lithium-sulfur cell for a battery includes: a negative electrode; a positive electrode; and at least one diffusion barrier situated between the negative electrode and the positive electrode. At least one of the negative and positive electrodes includes a porous graphite foil made of expanded graphite, and the at least one diffusion barrier is composed of a brittle material having a thickness of ?10 ?m. At least two lithium-sulfur cells are provided in an interconnected arrangement in a battery.

Abstract: An ignition device, particularly a spark plug for internal combustion engines, permits improved corrosion protection. The ignition device includes an electrical connector and a tubular, metallic housing having a screw-in thread imprinted on it. At least one of the metallic components of the ignition device is provided at least partially with a protective coating made of a zinc/nickel alloy.
