Abstract: A filling device for a fluid container of a vehicle is provided. The filling device comprises at least a motorized drive, a filling component which can be extended by means of the drive from a rest position to a filling position on the vehicle, and on which a filling opening is provided which is accessible in the filling position for filling a fluid container with fluid and a filling element which is adjustably mounted on the filling component and defines at least one edge portion on the perimeter of the filling opening when the filling component is in its filling position. The filling opening is in the filling position accessible for filling of fluid irrespective of a position of the filling element on the extended filling component. Only the perimeter of the filling opening can be enlarged by the filling element when the filling component is in its filling position.

Abstract: A method for setting a safety belt in a vehicle is provided. For the adjustment of the safety belt an adjusting apparatus is provided, the position of a deflection point for the safety belt being able to be set thereby and the safety belt extending therefrom in the direction of the shoulder of a vehicle occupant fastened-in by the safety belt, and the position of the deflection point is automatically set by means of at least one sensor device in order to adapt the path of the safety belt to the fastened-in vehicle occupant. Via the sensor device an angle is evaluated which is present between a belt portion which extends from the deflection point in the direction of the shoulder of the fastened-in vehicle occupant and a further belt portion and/or a part fixed to the bodywork or seat part.

Abstract: A storage device for a vehicle which has a plurality of compartments for storing objects is provided. The device comprises a receptacle space with a removal opening, at least one storage unit which is accommodated inside the receptacle space and has at least one compartment, an adjustment device by means of which the at least one storage unit can be adjusted within the receptacle space, with the result that whether a specific compartment of the storage device is accessible to a user via the removal opening depends on the position of the storage unit, an electronic memory, an image-capturing device by means of which at least one image of contents of one of the compartments can be produced and stored in the memory and a control unit by means of which an image produced by the image-capturing device and stored in the memory can be displayed on a display device.

Abstract: A closure device for closing a through opening on a vehicle is provided. An interior space with a filling or connection opening being accessible via the through opening, wherein the filling or connection opening is configured and provided for consumable filling on the vehicle, and it being possible for the through opening to be closed by way of a cover element which can be adjusted on the vehicle in a manner which is actuated by external force between at least one closure position for closing the through opening and an open position for opening the through opening. A control electronics system for triggering an adjustment of the cover element being provided with at least one first and second sensor device.

Abstract: An especially simple and economical moisture sensor with temperature compensation is provided. To this end, in addition to a measuring capacitor, a second capacitor is arranged on a window of a motor vehicle, wherein the second capacitor is not affected by the moisture and/or water droplets. For analysis, a differential measurement of the capacitances of the measuring capacitor and of the second capacitor is carried out, from which is determined a degree of wetting of the window not influenced by the window temperature.

Abstract: A capacitive rain sensor for a motor vehicle is provided that includes a printed circuit board with sensor structures laminated thereon and with electronic components, wherein the sensor structures and the electronic components are arranged on different sides of the printed circuit board.
