Abstract: A control unit for a vehicle that has a chassis and a driver's cab on the chassis, comprising a first data interface for receiving image data generated by an imaging sensor, a second data interface for receiving vehicle state data generated by a vehicle state sensor, an evaluation unit for evaluating the image data and/or the vehicle state data in order to generate a first control signal on the basis of the evaluation of the image data, which is configured to counteract a relative movement between the chassis and the driver's cab and/or generate a second control signal on the basis of the evaluation of the vehicle state data, which is configured to correct a setting of the imaging sensor, and a signal output unit for outputting the first and/or second control signals.

Abstract: A navigation method for an autonomous vehicle includes receiving sensor information from a sensor system attached to the autonomous vehicle, receiving object information from a management system that stores information regarding objects in a working area of the autonomous vehicle, and determining a position of the autonomous vehicle based on the sensor information and the object information.

Abstract: A housing comprising at least one electrical connection through a housing wall that is particularly inexpensive to produce and allows the electronic components located on the internal face and the external face of the housing to be attached in a particularly variable manner. The electrical connection is directly surrounded by housing material while being additionally sealed by means of sealing material. The inventive housing seal is provided with a profiled seal encompassing at least two sealing lips. The sealing material is additionally used for sealing the cover and/or the bottom relative to the housing wall. The arrangement is also particularly well protected against oil and other aggressive media as a combination of housing material and sealing material is used for surrounding the electrical connection.

Abstract: A method of controlling magnetic flux through an electromagnet, the magnetic force of the electromagnet or the relative position between the yoke and the armature of the electromagnet, such that from an electric voltage applied across an induction coil of the electromagnet and determined by an appropriate measurement method, and from an electric current flowing through the induction coil and also determined by an appropriate measurement method, an actual value of the magnetic flux, the magnetic force or the relative position is calculated. The determined actual value is compared with a specified nominal value and as a function of the difference between the actual and the nominal values, the voltage applied across the induction coil and/or the current flowing through the induction coil is/are adapted such that the actual magnetic flux or magnetic force or relative position value approaches the related nominal value.
