Abstract: Method, control unit, and target arrangement of a leading vehicle for triggering a follower vehicle, which is situated at a lateral distance from the leading vehicle, to coordinate its movements with the leading vehicle. The target arrangement comprises a target configured to be placed at a lateral distance from to the leading vehicle. The target is also configured to be recognized by at least one forwardly directed sensor of the follower vehicle.

Abstract: A method (400) and a control unit (210) for ground bearing capacity analysis. The method (400) steps include determining (401) a shape of the terrain segment (130) ahead of a vehicle (100), based on sensor measurements; predicting (402) a distance between a sensor (120) of the vehicle (100) and the ground (110) at the terrain segment (130), before the vehicle (100) moves into the terrain segment (130); measuring (403) the distance between the sensor (120) of the vehicle (100) and the ground (110) when the vehicle (100) has moved into the terrain segment (130); and determining (404) that the terrain segment (130) is to be avoided due to insufficient bearing capacity when the predicted (402) distance between the sensor (120) and the ground (110) exceeds the measured (403) distance between the sensor (120) and the ground (110). Also, a method (600) and control unit (210) for route planning of the vehicle (100) are described.

Abstract: The invention concerns optically absorptive photonic devices and in particular photovoltaic and photoconductive devices. It is particularly concerned with devices formed from multiple semiconducting layers, e.g., organic semiconducting polymers. Such a device has two central semiconductive layers which have been laminated together so as to form a mixed layer between the first and second semiconductive layers, while retaining at least some of the first and second semiconductive layers on either side of the mixed layer.

Abstract: In an electrode device for addressing a functional element a layer of electrical isolating materials is provided between first and second electrodes intersecting without direct physical or electrical contact and forming a bridge structure. Over both electrodes an electrical conducting or semiconducting contact layer of organic material is provided and contacts both electrodes electrically. In an electrode device with detecting, information storing and/or information indicating function an electrically addressable functional element is provided adjacent to or in the intersection between the electrodes. In an electrode device including two or more electrode device, the electrodes form patterned layers of row and column electrodes in a 2-dimensional matrix, wherein the contact layer forms a patterned or integrated global layer and functional elements which each registers with an electrode intersection in the matrix, are provided in one or more patterned or non-patterned layers.
