Abstract: The invention relates to a shaped part comprising a decorative layer with a front side and a rear side, a light-guiding element comprising a main body and one or more light guides protruding from a front side of the main body, wherein the main body is arranged with its front side on the rear side of the decorative layer and the light guide(s) completely penetrate/s the decorative layer, and one or more light elements arranged in and/or on the light-guiding element, wherein light emanating from the light elements is guided via the light guide(s) to the front side of the decorative layer. A light-shielding layer is arranged between the surface of the light guide(s) and the decorative layer, in particular a light-shielding element, wherein the light-shielding layer has an interruption, through which light can escape, on the front side of the decorative layer on each light guide.

Abstract: The method includes the following steps: a) a head node determining the number of active nodes; b) the head node classifying the identified nodes into two or more classifications of nodes in order to prioritize the Ethernet network communication; c) the head node receiving reservation requests from at least some of the multiplicity of nodes; d) allocating time slots, in response to reservation requests, to one or more nodes in the upcoming communication window, the allocations being based on a priority of the nodes and the priority being allocated to the nodes in accordance with their classification. After the number of active nodes has been determined, the bus cycle length is calculated and the number of sleeping or inactive or defective nodes is determined, and a beacon bus cycle is determined in terms of how much the bus cycle length is able to be shortened.

Abstract: The invention relates to a shaped part comprising a decorative layer having a front side designed as a visible side and a rear side opposite the front side, wherein the decorative layer is or comprises a decorative sheet, and a carrier arranged on the rear side of the decorative layer, wherein the decorative sheet has a grille at least in portions, wherein the grille is an integral component of the decorative sheet and is formed by a plurality of openings that extend from a front side of the decorative sheet to a rear side of the decorative sheet, wherein sound and/or air can be guided through the openings from the rear side of the decorative layer to the front side of the decorative layer and/or from the front side of the decorative layer to the rear side of the decorative layer.

Abstract: A method for rapidly flashing sensor nodes via an Ethernet network having a head node and a plurality of associated nodes. The method includes: determining the number of active nodes by a head node; classifying the identified nodes into multiple classifications to prioritize the Ethernet network communication by the head node; receiving reservation requests from at least some of the plurality of nodes by the head node; assigning to one or more nodes in the upcoming communication window time slots in response to reservation requests based on a node priority and the priority assigned to the nodes in accordance with their classification. A necessary download data rate is then determined and, a current bus utilization is ascertained by calculating the time difference of a final beacon and the number of nodes, and the bus cycle of the Ethernet network is optimized in terms of the necessary download data rate.
