  • Publication number: 20240371026
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method is provided for ascertaining a position of a motor vehicle (1; 4) or of an object (2). The method includes: optically recording data of a traffic environment having multiple motor vehicles (1; 2; 4); detecting a reflection (3; 5) of at least a portion of a specific one of the motor vehicles (1; 2; 4) on the object (2) in the data; ascertaining at least one prominent area of the specific motor vehicle (1; 4) in the reflection; and ascertaining the position of the specific motor vehicle (1; 4) or of the object (2) using the prominent area in the reflection (3; 5).

  • Patent number: 10781829
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a flow-conducting grille for arranging on the suction side of a fan, with a grille web structure which comprises radial webs spaced apart in the circumferential direction and coaxial circumferential webs spaced apart in the radial direction, wherein the radial webs of at least one quadrant of the flow-conducting grille are curved in each case over their radial extension, viewed in the circumferential direction, towards a predetermined radial plane extending from a central axis of the flow conducting grille.

  • Patent number: 10760593
    Abstract: A protective grille for a fan has a web structure which comprises radial webs spaced apart in a circumferential direction and coaxial circumferential webs spaced apart in a radial direction. The protective grille has at least a radial outer region and a central region around a central axis of the protective grille. An envelope surface spanned by the radial outer region and the central region is of convexly curved form in the radial outer region and is of flat form, parallel to a radial plane of the protective grille, in the central region.
