Abstract: A device for measuring the tread depth of a tire includes measuring modules situated transversely with respect to the running direction of the tire and connected to a shared evaluation device. Each measuring module includes (i) an illumination device which is configured and situated in such a way that during operation it projects at least one light line onto the tread to be measured, and (ii) at least one image recording device recording at least one image of at least one area of the tread to be measured. The at least one illumination device and the at least one image recording device are configured and situated in such a way that the illumination direction of the illumination device and the image recording direction of the image recording device are oriented neither in parallel to one another nor orthogonally with respect to the tread.

Abstract: A machine tool device having a monitoring unit for monitoring at least one machine tool monitoring range, the monitoring unit having a control unit. The control unit is provided for carrying out a recording mode, before a workpiece machining operation, in which a feature parameter is recorded for a feature which is to be taken into account in the workpiece machining operation.

Abstract: A machine tool device having a monitoring unit for monitoring at least one machine tool monitoring range, which has a projection unit for projecting into the machine tool monitoring range, a detection unit for detecting the machine tool monitoring range, and a pattern generation unit for generating at least one pattern for projection into the machine tool monitoring range. The machine tool device has an evaluation unit which is provided for evaluating a pattern which is associated with the generated pattern and detected with the aid of the detection unit.

Abstract: A device assembly for performing a driver assistance function includes a mobile terminal, and a holder removably installed in the vehicle for temporarily receiving the mobile terminal. At least one image recording device is connected to the holder and, to support the performance of the driver assistance function, is connectable to the mobile terminal via an image signal line and at least one first electrical interface situated in the holder when the holder receives the mobile terminal for performing the driver assistance function.
