  • Patent number: 11947780
    Abstract: A method at an electronic device with a display includes: displaying a user interface having a first region and a second region; receiving, and displaying in the first region of the user interface, a live video stream of a physical environment captured by a remote video camera; displaying, in the second region, a timeline corresponding to a timespan for a first portion of a duration during which the live video stream may have been recorded; in response to receiving a user interaction to move the timespan to a second portion of the duration, transitioning the displayed timeline to a new timeline that corresponds to the timespan for the second portion, and while transitioning, displaying, in the first region, a subset of video frames representing the first and/or second portion of the duration.

  • Patent number: 9950745
    Abstract: A cockpit cross beam for a motor vehicle includes at least one structured metal section arranged on the driver's side, wherein the metal section exhibits cross-sectional areas varying in the axial direction and has connection elements for connecting the metal section to other structural parts of a motor vehicle body. A cockpit cross beam that permits variable steering column angles of inclination with identical steering column connection is achieved in that the metal section arranged on the driver's side in each case has rotationally symmetric cross-sectional areas as connection elements at its ends and the cross-sectional areas of the ends have a common rotational axis.

  • Patent number: 8459697
    Abstract: An arrangement for securing a steering column to a cross member, in particular to a cockpit carrying member, of a motor vehicle, includes a steering column with retaining means. This arrangement makes it possible on the one hand with simple means to secure the steering column to the cross member of the motor vehicle and, on the other hand, with a further reduction in costs and weight, to enable a high degree of flexibility in relation to the use of the cross member and the steering column for different motor vehicles, by including a cross member that has, for securing the steering column, at least one hole running transverse to the longitudinal direction of the cross member for at least one securing means, and retaining means of the steering column wherein the retaining means are secured by at least one securing means to the cross member.

  • Publication number: 20100171339
    Abstract: A support element for a cockpit structure of a motor vehicle with a body, as well as a cockpit structure of a motor vehicle, which is provided in the area between the A-columns of the body of a motor vehicle, includes at least one cockpit carrier and a support element. This cockpit structure which on the one hand is optimized in respect of the material consumption, and at the same time makes shorter manufacturing times possible, as well as, on the other hand, fulfills the safety requirements in the event of an offset and/or lateral impact, has a modular design and, by the use of different cockpit structure parts, in particular different cockpit carriers and/or support elements, can be adapted to the individual body concerned.

  • Publication number: 20090252908
    Abstract: A vehicle component is provided for a motor vehicle, such as an interior fitting part, and particularly for a component of a vehicle cockpit. The component has a hybrid structure that includes a metal part and a polymeric component. The metal part is surrounded by the polymeric component in a first region. The metal part has a second region which is free from the polymeric component. The second region is connected to a metal reinforcement. The polymeric component may comprise glass fibers. The first region of the metal part may be frame-shaped, and the second region may be arranged in a central region of the metal part. The metal reinforcement may be permanently secured to the metal part, such as by welding, or by an interference or form fit. The metal part may be surrounded by the polymeric component by injection molding and/or shaping.

  • Publication number: 20070293571
    Abstract: A method of treating neurotransmitter dysfunction in a patient by optimizing catecholamine levels by administration of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-Dopa or Dopa) precurors in combination with a source of L-Dopa. The dopa precursor is preferably administered in such quantities such that the amount of dopa from the dopa precursors does not fluctuate and affect outcomes in the synthesis of dopamine from dopa administration. The dopa precursor source is preferably tyrosine, but may alternatively be phenylalanine, N-acetyl-tyrosine, any active isomer thereof, or any other dopa precursor. The source of L-Dopa may include any natural or synthetic source, including, but not limited to, Mucuna pruriens.

  • Publication number: 20060178423
    Abstract: A method of treating neurotransmitter dysfunction in a patient. The method includes the step of administering an amino acid precursor of a catecholamine in a balanced and effective therapeutic range. The catecholamine precursor is preferably L-dopa, but may alternatively be tyrosine, D,L-Phenylalanine or an active isomer thereof, and N-acetyl-L-tyrosine or other amino acid precursor of L-dopa. An amino acid precursor of serotonin in an effective therapeutic range, is also administered. The serotonin precursor is preferably 5-HTP, but may alternatively be tryptophan. At least one cofactor is also preferably administered. Cofactor options include Vitamin B6, Vitamin C, Calcium, Folate, and Cysteine. A method of periodic administration and patient checking is also disclosed.
