Abstract: A device for determining a position of a vehicle includes a camera system, a digital headlight system having a left digital headlight and a right digital headlight, and a data processing unit. The data processing unit is configured to assign a first detected reflected light beam by the camera system to the left digital headlight with a first angle, assign a second detected reflected light beam by the camera system to the right digital headlight with a second angle, and trigonometrically determine a distance of the vehicle from a charging module in a direction of a longitudinal axis of the vehicle and an offset in a transverse direction with respect to the longitudinal axis on a basis of the first and second angles and a distance between the left digital headlight and the right digital headlight.

Abstract: A method for operating a charging station for an electrically driven motor vehicle. The charging station has a parcel depot at which a product can be deposited for delivery or collection. The method includes controlling the parcel depot by a control device of the charging station via an already present communication link of the charging station with a network.

Abstract: A method for controlling a charging station for charging vehicles in which a first charging unit of the charging station is coupled to a second charging unit of the relevant vehicle for transmitting current. When one of the vehicles is charged, an update operation of the charging station is performed, in which a control assembly of the one vehicle transmits a current software packet to a control device of the charging station.

Abstract: A charging device for charging an electrical energy store of a motor vehicle includes a fragrance dispensing device, where a fragrance is dispensable into a surrounding of the charging device by the fragrance dispensing device. A method for charging an electrical energy store of a motor vehicle includes dispensing a fragrance into a surrounding of a charging device by a fragrance dispensing device integrated in the charging device.

Abstract: A cordlock of a mobility cane is provided including a body having a length greater than the inner diameter, a width less than the inner diameter, a depth less than the inner diameter, and a body opening extending through the depth and sized to accommodate the cord but to prevent passage of the widened portion. The depth of the body sized to accommodate the cord between the body and the inner wall when the cordlock is inserted in the cane.

Abstract: A valve is provided having a flow passage interrupted by a plug chamber interposed in the flow passage. The plug chamber adapted to receive a rotatable valve plug inserted through the plug aperture and seated on the valve seat. The rotatable valve plug comprising a plug flow passage for fluid communication with the valve flow passage and extending through the plug and a pair of opposed resilient sealing region for the flow passage when the rotatable valve plug is oriented in a closed position.

Abstract: An adjustable terminal basket with lightweight horizontal diffuser grille is mounted in the floor of an occupied space for delivering conditioned air from an under floor air plenum to the occupied space above the floor. The modular floor terminal basket regulates the air passing through the terminal, and the lightweight horizontal diffuser grille diffuses the conditioned air along the floor of the occupied space. The lightweight horizontal diffuser grille is constructed with a top and bottom plate with hollow support pillars between the plates and with reinforcing ribs adjacent the center of the diffuser grille.
