At substantially the same time, at least one connection point is provided at which accessory parts can be detachably fastened.

Abstract: A console is provided, in particular a central console for a vehicle, having a rail pair for the essentially horizontally displaceable accommodation of inserts of the console between the rails of the rail pair in guides of the rails, as well as a storage space between the inserts and the floor of the vehicle. For such a console, it is provided that the rails are implemented as freestanding brackets, the brackets at least being mounted in the floor of the vehicle, an essentially horizontally situated section of the particular bracket, which is distal from the floor, having at least one guide. Such a console offers high flexibility in regard to the storage space usable in this area with structurally simple design and may be advantageously used both with and also without the inserts in this aspect.

Abstract: A center console is provided between two vehicle seats arranged next to each other. At least one front side of the center console, at least one container can be arranged in a detachable manner.

Abstract: A holding device is provided for holding articles of daily use. The holding device can be arranged in an interior space of a motor vehicle and includes, but is not limited to a holding element and at least two mounting elements in which the holding element is fastened. The mounting elements can be arranged within a rail system arranged within the interior space of the motor vehicle in such a manner that the mounting elements can be mounted freely movable within the rail system independent of each other. Because of this it is possible to make available a holding device for the holding of articles of daily use which can be arranged in an interior space of a motor vehicle and is characterized by high functionality at the same time.

Abstract: A motor vehicle storage device includes, but is not limited to at least one multifunction box, in particular for storing items during a journey with the motor vehicle. The multifunction box includes, but is not limited to a base body having at least one receiving compartment configured as a cooling compartment. An engagement device is provided for engagement in guide grooves of a rail system and are formed laterally on the base body in order to arrange and/or fix the base body in a crash-proof manner in the rail system free from tools.

Abstract: A motor vehicle is provided with a rail system having a cover device for a rail system resembling a Roman blind, with several interconnected, telescoping, lamellar segments, which laterally at least partially exhibit guide elements for engaging guide grooves of the rail system. The guide elements are at least partially variable in length, so that an overall width of the cover device transverse to the progression of the guide grooves can be diminished for removal and insertion from and in the rail system.

Abstract: A holding device is provided for holding articles of daily use. The holding device can be arranged in an interior space of a motor vehicle and includes, but is not limited to a holding element and at least two mounting elements in which the holding element is fastened. The mounting elements can be arranged within a rail system arranged within the interior space of the motor vehicle in such a manner that the mounting elements can be mounted freely movable within the rail system independent of each other. Because of this it is possible to make available a holding device for the holding of articles of daily use which can be arranged in an interior space of a motor vehicle and is characterized by high functionality at the same time.

Abstract: A holding device is provided for holding articles within an interior space of a motor vehicle, that includes, but is not limited to a container box with a closable lid element. The container box can be fastened in a rail system arranged in a center console of the motor vehicle. This makes possible to make available a holding device for the holding of articles within an interior space of a motor vehicle, which makes possible safe holding of articles of consumption, more preferably of larger articles of consumption, and in addition can be comfortably reached by all vehicle occupants of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: An electrical composite conductor includes a CuAg alloy base having an Ag content of 0.08 to 0.12% and a CuMg alloy having a Mg content of 0.1 to 0.7%. The composite conductor further includes a conductor edge and a conductor core, wherein at least one of the edge and the core include the CuMg alloy.

Abstract: The present invention reduces the need for peripherals to be physically removed and re-installed when a malfunction occurs. In one embodiment, a device is placed in series between the system and the peripheral. This device controls the passage of power to the peripheral. When the peripheral malfunctions, the device disallows passage of power to the peripheral, and at some later point restores power, effectively emulating a physical removal and re-installation. In a second embodiment, additional software is added to the software driver for the peripheral. In this scenario, the additional software, upon detecting that the peripheral is incommunicative, would remove power being supplied to the peripheral by the system. Again, at some later point, power is restored, thereby emulating a disconnect/reconnect sequence.

Abstract: A system and method for creating digital content from a plurality of legacy media formats, such as paper, CD, VHS, DVD, etc. A coordination node is utilized to balance the computation load between the various processing units, particularly those involved in the second stage of operation. Extraction units are used to input various types of information into the system as digital media. Once the information has been extracted, the coordination node and its associated software determine the load on each processing unit in the second stage and based on this and other factors, determine which processing unit will perform the conversion. The output is then stored in storage devices. This approach maximizes system utilization, while being more cost efficient than traditional extraction systems.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a system and method for insuring the integrity and format of metadata. In the preferred embodiment, a local database is created into which metadata information can be stored. Since the database is maintained locally, it can be guaranteed to have correct and complete metadata information. Metadata searches are preferably performed hierarchically, such that the local database is checked first for the required data. If the data is not resident in the local database, the traditional search of third-party databases is performed. Information retrieved from third-party databases is then verified, such as manually. Once the metadata has been checked and approved, the metadata is then stored locally. A set of rules is also created, which define the requirements and the file manipulations that must be preformed on the metadata for each type of target device.

Abstract: A loading cradle suitable for use with transport apparatus for the carriage and transport of articles, the transport apparatus including a chassis and a cradle assembly thereon for supporting the article when on the transport apparatus, the loading cradle forming part of the cradle assembly and including a support frame including side support members with an article support zone therebetween and an access region at one end thereof, said support frame when in use being mounted for at least partial rotation about a rotation axis relative to the chassis so that the access region can be selectively orientated relative to the chassis of the transport apparatus.
