Abstract: A holding apparatus for at least one storage medium has a housing in which a supporting structure is arranged. The supporting structure is in this case connected to the housing with vibration damping via a damping device. A storage medium is arranged in the supporting structure. The storage medium is bounded in a pressuretight manner from an external atmosphere. A cooling element is provided for cooling the storage medium.

Abstract: The invention relates to a securing apparatus for a portable electronic unit to an adapter, which is electronically and/or mechanically connected to a physical unit, in particular an aircraft. The adapter is provided with a locking device which has a control element that is mounted via a shaft, with the shaft being provided with an eccentric device, and with the eccentric device pushing the portable device (which is inserted into the adapter) to a vibration-proof locked position by operation of the control element beyond the dead point of the eccentric device.

Abstract: A method for monitoring thermal overload of an electric load element in a motor vehicle containing other electric consumers, which can be switched into a stand-by phase is disclosed. The load element is monitored by a control device using a calculated load temperature parameter. During a first operational phase, a power loss of the load element or a quantity that is essentially proportional thereto is evaluated for calculating the load temperature parameter. During one or more stand-by phases, the control device is switched with essentially no current between the first operational phase and a second operational phase. After the control device is switched on in the second operational phase, at least one quantity, which is characteristic for the moment of switching on, is evaluated for calculating the existing load temperature parameter.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method and apparatus for influencing the driving speed of a motor vehicle. The apparatus includes an electronic control unit which includes a microcomputer and a memory. In the control unit, a controller is implemented for the driving speed of the vehicle which is chargeable with an adapted proportional amplification and an integral amplification in dependence on selected and actual driving conditions of the vehicle. The driving modes of "accelerate", "decelerate" and "resume" are automatically carried out pursuant to the steps of the method. Smooth transitions between different speeds are obtained by operating the controller as a proportional controller during acceleration phases.
