Abstract: A trim panel assembly includes a printed foil extending for a first area, a printed circuit board disposed overtop the foil, the printed circuit board extending for a second area smaller than the first area, and a light guide disposed overtop the printed circuit board and having a perimeter. The perimeter is inset from the printed foil, and surrounds the printed circuit board, forming a sealed interface with the printed foil. At least a portion of the perimeter of the light guide is beveled. A reflector is disposed overtop the light guide. In an electronic assembly the reflector, the light guide, the printed circuit board, and the printed foil are disposed at least partially in a cavity of a molded support panel. The molded support panel is substantially planar, and a semi-transparent material is overmolded directly onto and overtop the electronic assembly and the molded support panel.

Abstract: A trim made of plastics for a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, comprises a first component (7) made of plastics and a second component (8) made of plastics. To improve such trim, the first component (7) is at least partly transparent or semi-transparent. The second component (8) includes one or more recesses (10, 11, 12) for a display element and/or for an input element(FIG. 2).

Abstract: An exterior trim for a motor vehicle has a body that forms a surface of the exterior trim. The body has an exterior surface and an interior surface, and defines a recess or cut-out. The body has a single undulating wall formed on the interior surface of the body substantially perpendicular to a plane defined by the body, and the single undulating wall at least partially surrounds the recess or cut-out. The exterior trim also includes a human-machine interface (HMI) device disposed at least partially within the recess or cut-out of the body. The HMI device may be used to externally control certain features of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: In order to provide an enhanced functional range for an external trim part of a motor vehicle relative to known trim parts, without impairing the decorative function of the trim part relative to non-functionally enhanced trim parts, it is provided that an antenna is retained by a sandwich-type connection between a decorative part and a carrier part of the trim part or that an antenna is retained on the inner face of the carrier part facing the bodywork in the installed state as intended.

Abstract: According to the invention, a particulate electrode material is provided, which has high energy density, safety and longevity (stability relative to degradation and material fatigue). Furthermore, the electrode material is distinguished both by high electrical and high ionic conductivity and consequently achieves very low resistance values. Furthermore, a method for coating particulate electrode material is provided according to the invention, with which method the electrode material according to the invention can be produced. Finally, uses of the electrode material according to the invention are demonstrated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a lithium accumulator or a combination thereof with a double-layer capacitor which is distinguished by a solid material- or gel electrolyte and a binder made of inorganic-organic hybrid polymer. By means of the new binder concept presented here, it is possible to revolutionise the contacting of the individual components in these accumulators and thus to enable a fundamental improvement in the ion transport. Associated therewith is a new, fast, simple and flexible production method for lithium accumulators which optimises these with respect to safety, stability, environmental friendliness and efficiency.

Abstract: An electric motor for an elevator drive comprises a motor housing; a number of motor windings which are connected to at least one terminal; ribs or webs being arranged on the motor housing; and the at least one terminal is arranged between the ribs or webs.

Abstract: A panel, preferably made of plastic, for a vehicle, in particular for a motor vehicle comprises a U-shaped passage for the reception of a seal which has a first sealing lip which contacts a first limb of the U-shaped passage in an uninterrupted manner and comprises a second sealing lip which contacts the second limb of the U-shaped passage. To improve the sealing effect, the second sealing lip contacts the second limb of the U-shaped passage in an uninterrupted manner.
