Patent number: 10279737Abstract: An illuminating device for a vehicle includes a carrier module, a flat light guide attached to the carrier module with a plurality of emitting points, and multiple light sources for illuminating the light guide. The flat light guide is concealed with a translucent haptic layer, which is attached to a visible side of the light guide, which, in turn, is covered by a decorative layer. The illuminating device comprises a rope-like light guide, which has an inherent light source and is connected to the decorative layer via a retaining device. This therefore results in a flat arrangement, which can be easily integrated into the interior parts and simultaneously enables illumination over a large surface area. In doing so, additional light effects can be integrated by means of the rope-like light guide. The illuminating device is not visible while switched off, as the illuminating device is covered by the decorative layer.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2017Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: Lisa Draexlmaier GmbHInventors: Matthias Gerhard, Andreas Kurnoth, Lisa Ruhland, Anita Nitzl, Markus Wimmer, Alexandr Zaviyalov, Bernhard Bayersdorfer

Patent number: 10194358Abstract: A method of establishing a relationship between access nodes in a wireless communications network is provided. An access node is registered with the network. Information about each access node registered with the network is then stored at a control node. A list is then compiled at the control node, which includes each access node registered with the network and the list indicates which access node is a neighbor of another access node. This neighbor list is sent from the control node to each access node in the network. When an access node detects other access nodes, this is reported to the control node, which updates the neighbor list to the access nodes.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2016Date of Patent: January 29, 2019Assignee: Nokia Solutions and Networks OyInventors: Karol Drazynski, Maciej Pakulski, Markus Wimmer, Hanns Juergen Schwarzbauer
