Abstract: An operating interface (10) is in an interior of a vehicle and has a surface (11) that is visible in the interior. The operating interface (10) has an operating element (14) that can be shifted relative to the surface (11) between resting and operating positions. The operating element (14) has a display (17) that is inactive in the resting position and does not indicate a functional assignment of the operating element (14). However, the display (17) is active in the operating position and indicates a functional assignment of the operating element (14). The operating element (14) has a first orientation to the surface body (11) when in the operating position and has a second orientation to the surface body (11) when in the resting position. A gap (19) is formed between the operating element (14) and the surface body (11) and surrounds the operating element (14).

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for controlling a plurality of components having a somatic, visual, acoustic and/or olfactory effect on a user in an interior of a motor vehicle. The method includes partitioning the interior into a plurality of different zones; and controlling the components as a function of the zones.

Abstract: A building wall structure in which pre-hung wall parts (1) that are provided in the form of slats, boards, or similar elements are joined to a solid substructure (3) forming the actual wall structure via fasteners (2). Siding elements (4) can be fixed to the pre-hung wall parts (1). At least some of the fasteners (2) are inserted at an acute angle relative to a horizontal plane (H) and are alternately inclined at least in opposite directions relative to the horizontal plane (H). The pre-hung wall parts (1) that are provided in the form of slats, boards, or similar elements form a type of truss girder (5) along with the fasteners (2) and the substructure (3).

Abstract: A wood wall construction made of wooden beams is provided wherein the wooden beams (1) are superposed or possibly juxtaposed and assembled by means of screws (2). The wooden beams (1) are assembled to each other using the screws (2) provided at the end sections thereof with threaded sections (3,4) that are inserted without drilling from the top or bottom surface of the wooden beams to assemble a mutual attachment area (5) of the two wooden beams. The screws extend for only a part (A) of a height or thickness of the beam (1) and are engaged only adjacent to the mutual attachment area (5) in the two wooden beams.
