Abstract: A method is described for influencing the engine control of a single-track motor vehicle, in which the current driving situation is ascertained, a predefined driving situation is selected from a specified class of predefined driving situations as a function of the current driving situation, and the engine control is influenced as a function of the selected predefined driving situation in a manner that is independent of the driver.

Abstract: A method for driving safety when vehicles are driving in convoy, in which a driver classification is performed during travel based on instantaneous sensor variables, and in which a recommendation for the vehicle order in the convoy is output.

Abstract: In a method for the automatic adjustment of the speed of a motorcycle during a turning maneuver, the current position of incline of the motorcycle is determined and is compared with a target position of incline, the speed being reduced or increased as a function of the difference.

Abstract: A device for activating a passenger protection unit for a vehicle. The device includes a fuel element chamber having at least one fuel element, which is designed to generate a hot gas for activating the passenger protection unit by combustion, the fuel element chamber having an outlet opening for releasing the hot gas into the passenger protection unit, and the pressure container being designed to store a pressurized cold gas, the pressure container having at least one opening for the controlled release of the cold gas into the fuel element chamber.

Abstract: A valve for a cold gas generator for an airbag in a vehicle includes: a valve chamber; a control chamber; a control piston; an overflow channel; a retaining element; and a shutoff element. The valve chamber includes an inlet from the cold gas generator and an outlet to the airbag. The control piston separates the control chamber and the valve chamber. The control piston is movable between an open position and a closed position, the control piston releasing the outlet in the open position and closing it in the closed position. The control piston has (i) a first active piston surface on the side of the valve chamber, and (ii) a second active piston surface on the side of the control chamber. The first piston surface is smaller than the second piston surface. The overflow channel fluidically connects the valve chamber and the control chamber to one another.

Abstract: The invention relates to an automatic cash register system which comprises a detection unit for detecting goods to be paid for, a control unit which determines an amount of money due, an input unit for supplying notes of value for payment of the determined amount of money, a sensor unit for determination of the denomination of the inserted notes of value, and an output unit for dispensing change. The control unit fixes which denominations are accepted for payment of the amount of money in dependence of at least one operating parameter, and/or fixes a maximum amount in dependence of the amount of money due, wherein the control unit controls the cash register system so that in the payment of the amount of money due only notes of value or combinations of notes of value are accepted whose value does not exceed the maximum amount.

Abstract: A demolding device (10) for demolding a work piece from a mold comprises a hold-down element (18) that is disposed between the mold pieces in the closed state of the mold and extends up to or into a cavity provided for producing the work piece. A control sleeve (11) is connected to the hold-down element (18) and is coupled with one of the mold parts in a form-fitting manner via a guide device. The piston (11) is displaceable along a first path (w1) along the stroke direction limited by the guide device and is mounted in the guide device in a pivotable fashion. Upon a pivot motion, the end of the piston (11) facing the cavity moves away from the cavity. A first control piece (16) is connected to the other mold piece, the control piece blocking a pivoting of the piston (11) and/or the hold-down element (18) during the first path (w1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for renovating doors, especially doors with at least one cut-out such as a cut-out for light. Fittings, lock and other salient detachable objects are removed before renovation occurs.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cladding (20, 22, 24) of profile material, in particular in the form of extruded aluminum profile material, in particular for windows and/or doors with fastening elements extending from the window or door or their frame and/or casement frame (10, 12) or parts thereof such as turning holders or eccentric screws, each having a head engaging in a relief-cut receiving channel of the profile material.

Abstract: The preparation and the use of pulverulent compositions consisting of (a) from 10 to 90% by weight of cellulose, (b) from 5 to 60% by weight of an alkali metal caseinate, and (c) from 5 to 85% by weight of a polymer c1) an N-vinyllactam polymer obtained by copolymerization of from 90 to 99.5% by weight of one or more N-vinyllactam monomers and from 0.5 to 10% by weight of a crosslinking monomer, or c2) a polymer obtained by copolymerization of from 50 to 99.5% by weight of at least one vinyl heterocyclyl monomer having a PKa of at least 3.8, from 0 to 49.5% by weight of another copolymerizable monomer and from 0.5 to 10% by weight of a crosslinking monomer, or c3) a mixture of the polymers c1) and c2).
