  • Publication number: 20250178059
    Abstract: A molded component has a metallic component body with a mounting opening and a friction structure surrounding the mounting opening. The component body consists of a boron-alloyed steel and is hot molded and press hardened. The friction structure is produced in the press tool during hot molding. In order to produce the component body, a hardenable steel sheet metal or a semi-finished product made of a hardenable steel sheet metal is heated to the molding temperature and molded into the component body in a press tool and press hardened. The mounting opening can be produced before heating to the molding temperature, before hot molding or after press hardening.

  • Patent number: 12118868
    Abstract: A child monitoring device has a plurality of sensors to sense data relating to a child to be monitored, a wireless communications unit and a processing unit. The processing unit is able to receive signals from the sensors, receive data relating to the child input via said wireless communications unit, cause the wireless communications unit to wirelessly communicate with an external database to receive data, process the signals received from said sensors to determine child development conditions, compare determined child development conditions with the data received from external database, and cause said wireless communications unit to transmit messages containing child development information for reception by an external device.

  • Patent number: 10419656
    Abstract: A home monitoring and control system has a base unit, a monitoring system that has at least one monitoring device to output monitoring signals and a portable unit. The base unit has a base unit communications system. The portable unit has an infra red remote device controller, a human I/O interface, a portable unit communications system and a processor. The base unit communications system connects with a telecommunications landline and communicates wirelessly with the portable unit communications system. The processor processes monitoring signals provided by the monitoring system and provides notifications when that processing indicates a predefined event. The human I/O interface displays such notifications. The portable unit communications system communicates with the base unit communications system using a DECT communications protocol and with a Wi-Fi network.
