Abstract: A vehicle occupant posture detection (OPD) system, including: a measuring device coupled to a seat back of a seat of a vehicle and adapted to determine an angle (?) between a Z-axis and a torso line of an occupant seated in the seat by measuring an angle of the seat back; a measuring device coupled to a seat bottom of the seat of the vehicle and adapted to determine an angle (?) between the Z-axis and a femoral line of the occupant seated in the seat by measuring an angle of the seat bottom; and means for receiving and using the determined values of ? and ? to determine an angle (?) between the torso line and the femoral line of the occupant seated in the seat and thereby characterize a posture state of the occupant seated in the seat.

Abstract: In the case of a sun screen, in particular for a motor vehicle, the sunscreen includes, but is not limited to a sunlight shading body, which at least partly has a transparent or lucent material and a fixing body for fixing the sun screen, in particular to the motor vehicle, e.g., to a roof area of an auto body of the motor vehicle, the range of vision of the driver or of the front-seat passenger is substantially not to be limited by the sun screen on the one hand and the edge of the sunlight shading body is not to represent a risk of injury to the driver and front-seat passenger, on the other hand.
