  • Publication number: 20240085563
    Abstract: A radiation emitting device for emitting light may include a laser light source configured to emit light along an emitting direction, and a non-imaging optical system arranged downstream of the laser light source in the emitting direction. The optical system may include a plurality of optical elements arranged along the emitting direction for shaping a radiation characteristic of the radiation emitting device in a horizontal direction and a vertical direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction, such that the radiation characteristic is asymmetrical along the vertical direction. A first optical element of the optical system may be configured to cause spreading of the light along the horizontal direction; a second optical element of the optical system may be configured to cause collimation of the light along the vertical direction, and a third optical element of the optical system may be configured to cause radiation asymmetry along the vertical direction.

  • Publication number: 20150282544
    Abstract: Described are multilayered breathable and waterproof materials having at least two nonwoven fiber layers, each fiber layer including a plurality of unidirectionally oriented fibers coated with a matrix material. The fibers in a first one of the at least two nonwoven fibers layers form an angle of approximately 90° with respect to the fibers in another one of the at least two nonwoven fiber layers. An outer layer is adhered to a side of one of the at least two nonwoven fiber layers. A polyurethane inner membrane is adhered to another side of the at least two nonwoven fiber layers, wherein at least the inner membrane is embossed.

  • Patent number: 7451845
    Abstract: A method relieves the burden of a driver of a motor vehicle in which the drive train is provided with a gearbox which can be operated in an automatic mode and a manual mode. The method comprises the following automatic steps: a) detection whether the speed of the vehicle should be adjusted, b) initiation of the adjustment if necessary, and c) the carrying out of the adjustment. During step b) and/or step c) it is determined on one or several occasions whether the gearbox is operating in an automatic mode or in a manual mode in order to trigger a change into the automatic mode of the gearbox if the gearbox is operated in the manual mode.

  • Patent number: 6920383
    Abstract: On recognition of a slow driving condition within which a creeping function is activated, a set wheel torque is derived by a wheel torque interpretation (56), such that firstly a target speed is achieved and subsequently the vehicle is maintained within a speed range about the target speed.
