Abstract: The invention relates to a method for removing user-specific and/or drive-specific user data which are saved distributedly on multiple controllers in a motor vehicle. A trigger apparatus is provided, and the trigger apparatus checks whether a trigger condition has been satisfied. If the trigger condition has been satisfied, a specified common delete command is transmitted to the plurality of controllers of the motor vehicle via a data bus of the motor vehicle, and each controller carries out a specified delete routine if the controller has received the delete command from the data bus, said delete routine being used to overwrite and/or delete user data saved on the particular controller.

Abstract: A charging interface for a motor vehicle, in particular, an electric vehicle, for charging the traction battery, having a charging socket arranged in a vehicle body opening and a closure device for covering the vehicle body opening, the charging socket can be moved in the axial direction of the vehicle body opening and the charging socket is made to move as a result of the closure device being opened.

Abstract: A method for controlling a rearview mirror, in particular for motor vehicles, provided with a reflection part with variable reflectance, includes supplying a control unit assigned to the reflection part with a nominal value for the reflectance. To provide a nominal value which is particularly favorable for the respective driving situation, the nominal value is specified by taking into consideration a first characteristic value characteristic of the sensitivity which adjusts in the viewer's eye due to the light situation, and/or a second characteristic value characteristic of the kind of ambient light.

Abstract: In a transceiver for a control unit having a transceiver core for adapting the level of messages received or to be sent, an adjustable terminating network is situated in the transceiver that makes it possible to adjust at least two connection resistance values, the terminating network and the transceiver core being monolithically integrated in a semiconductor circuit.

Abstract: In a high-voltage installation having at metallic encapsulating housing, a cone antenna is provided as a device for transmitting electromagnetic signals. The cone tip antenna facing the inner wall of the encapsulating housing resulting in an optimal coupling characteristic.

Abstract: The roller track for moving large pipes through a tempering furnace includes two pairs of relatively closely spaced, resiliently mounted rollers disposed in the end zone of the furnace, where any portion of the pipe passing through is hot and has minimum strength on account of the heating.

Abstract: A process for heating at least two metal pipes wherein each pipe is individually preheated in response to sensors detecting its initial temperature and wall thickness. The pipe then passes through a continuous heater which applies an equal amount of energy to each portion of the pipe, after which each pipe emerges having a predetermined temperature independent of both its initial temperature and the wall thickness.

Abstract: A milling cutter rotatable about a central axis in a predetermined rotational sense has a plurality of helical blades separated by helical flutes and each formed with a row of teeth each having an axially directed end flank and a radially outwardly turned side flank. Each of the side flanks is inclined toward the axis by an angle between 3.degree. and 15.degree. from a high end at the respective end flank to a low end. Each of the teeth is further formed with a rounded chamfer at the high end and between the flanks. Each of the rows of teeth is axially offset from the circumferentially flanking rows with the rounded chamfers of each row being aligned circumferentially relative to the rotational sense behind the respective low ends of the row in front.
