Abstract: Please substitute the new Abstract submitted herewith for the original Abstract: An exterior component for a means of transportation, including a light-guiding layer, a light source, a cover layer arrangement, and a light decoupling device. The light-guiding layer is transparent at least in sections and has a depression. The light source is disposed in the depression, and is configured to couple light into the light-guiding layer. The cover layer arrangement is transparent at least in sections, on the light-guiding layer, and is configured to at least partially reflect the light coupled into the light-guiding layer. The light decoupling device is configured to decouple at least a first part of the light out of the exterior component in an area of the exterior component spaced apart from the depression, in which the exterior component is radar-transparent.

Abstract: A method for monitoring a failure in a high-voltage circuit of a vehicle includes obtaining a supply voltage of a high-voltage power supply device; obtaining component voltage(s) on one or more high-voltage components powered by the high-voltage power supply device; comparing the supply voltage with each component voltage; and determining that a failure exists in the high-voltage circuit when the voltage difference between the supply voltage and any one of the component voltage(s) exceeds a predetermined threshold. Also disclosed are a computer readable storage medium, an equipment for monitoring a failure in a high-voltage circuit of a vehicle, a high-voltage circuit system for a vehicle, and a vehicle comprising the high-voltage circuit system.

Abstract: A method for producing a layered structure in a multi-component process includes the steps of: generating a basic substrate composed of a transparent plastic, in particular of polycarbonate, in a first manufacturing step, and coating the basic substrate with a transparent resin layer, in particular composed of polyurethane, in a second manufacturing step.

Abstract: A cladding part for a motor vehicle has an external side, and an internal side which is disposed opposite the external side. At least one sensor is disposed on the internal side. The cladding part has at least one main region and at least one functional region, wherein the functional region in terms of oscillations has a lower damping value than the main region. The functional region at least in portions is surrounded by a decoupling region, wherein the cladding part in the decoupling region has a first mechanical rigidity value and in the main region has a second mechanical rigidity value. The first rigidity value is lower than the second rigidity value.

Abstract: A method for determining the end-of-travel positions of a diaphragm in a diaphragm valve having an actuator: initiating displacement of the diaphragm into a first end-of-travel position; ascertaining the first end-of-travel position of the diaphragm, wherein said first end-of-travel position is ascertained by monitoring an actuating current value, wherein the first end-of-travel position is reached when a predefined current value is reached; saving the first end-of-travel position; moving autonomously, preferably in the opposite direction, towards a second end-of-travel position of the diaphragm; ascertaining the second end-of-travel position of the diaphragm, wherein said second end-of-travel position is ascertained by means of a predefined travel length (a) of the diaphragm from the first end-of-travel position; saving the second end-of-travel position.
