Patent number: 11814113Abstract: An air deflection device of a motor vehicle includes an air deflection element and a displacement kinematic system. The air deflection element is displaceable by the displacement kinematic system from an extended deflection position, in which the air deflection element with a deflection surface in a front region of the air deflection element in a longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle diverts an airflow hitting the air deflection element in an underbody region in a forward direction of travel of the motor vehicle, into a retracted position. The air deflection element is displaceable by the displacement kinematic system rearwards in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle and upwards in a vertical direction of the motor vehicle and is pushable back in a direction of the retracted position in an event of an obstacle-related force component acting on the air deflection element in the longitudinal direction of the motor vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2020Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: Mercedes-Benz Group AGInventors: Jasmin Doerr, Siegfried Zipperle, Dirk Becker, Alexander Mueller, Stefan Wiggen, Waldemar Rauh

Publication number: 20230177023Abstract: In an example embodiment, a persistence model is utilized that allows the storage of value lists in a referenceable and reusable manner. This allows for two lifecycle options for value lists: (i) schema-dependent and (ii) schema-independent. Thus, the lifecycle of all involved entities (e.g., schemas, values, correspondences, etc.) is managed. This enables easier upgrades, downgrades, and sidegrades. The persistence is a directed graph, which comprises nodes and directed edges. This persistence can then be used to recommend additional correspondences to a user.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2021Publication date: June 8, 2023Inventors: Jan Portisch, Radu Purdel, Dirk Becker, Markus Bucher, Sandra Bracholdt
