Abstract: A method is disclosed for identifying an appropriate parking space for a motor and a route leading thereto for a motor vehicle having a navigation system, wherein at least one collision-free route is calculated on the basis of at least one piece of information that is related to a search for a parking space and that is requested from at least one external server, which manages at least one parking lot having at least one parking space, before the motor vehicle reaches the parking lot. A motor vehicle with a navigation system and an external server, for execution of the method, are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for operating a navigation system including a vehicle and a computing device outside the vehicle is described. A navigation device on-board the vehicle determines, from route network data transmitted by the computing device and describing route segments of a route network, a route segment sequence. The route segment sequence includes at least one route segment and is used to reach a target position from a start position. The navigation device verifies the traversability of the route segment sequence for the vehicle, taking into account route segment information transmitted by the computing device upon a request of the navigation device, and determines a navigation route derived from a route segment sequence which has been verified to be traversable.

Abstract: A motor vehicle has a control device to control automated longitudinal and/or transverse guidance of the motor vehicle within the scope of a specific driving maneuver. The motor vehicle also has an operator control element to communicate with the control device and to transfer control information, relating to the at least partially automated longitudinal and/or transverse guidance, to the control device. The control device is configured in such a way that activation or deactivation of the longitudinal and/or transverse guidance can be controlled by means of an operator-side first operator-control action at the operator-control element, and at least one driving parameter which influences the longitudinal and/or transverse guidance of the motor vehicle, controlled by the control device, can be modified by means of an additional operator-side, second operator-control action at the operator-control element, which second operator-control action is in particular different from the first operator-control action.

Abstract: The driving device for a circular grinding machine where the workpiece is driven between two stationary centers comprises a driven device allowing a removable attachment of a driver which is adapted to hold and turn the workpiece by means of elastic force. The driver comprises two adjacent, symmetrically disposed annular spring elements whose junction is provided with a through-going opening which forms two prismatic workpiece holders, as well as respective longitudinal openings disposed in the axis of the points of the prismatic workpiece holders which are provided with prismatic ends for receiving respective, correspondingly shaped bolts of the driven device of the circular grinding machine in order to spread apart the spring elements. A driver of this kind offers a reduced weight, on one hand, and a high precision, on the other hand, and it is particularly adapted for grinding small precision parts.
