  • Patent number: 10937201
    Abstract: A method for generating a vehicle environment view involves: capturing camera images with vehicle cameras on a vehicle body of a vehicle; and calculating of the vehicle environment view based on the camera images. In the vehicle environment view, a texture of a non-visible region of a ground surface located under the vehicle body and not visible to the vehicle cameras is calculated based on texture data of a visible region of the ground surface that is visible to vehicles cameras and surrounds the non-visible region.

  • Publication number: 20200176806
    Abstract: A method and production equipment for producing a battery and a motor vehicle with such a battery. In the method, at least one battery module is positioned and attached in a provided battery housing such that it covers at least one gap provided in a housing base of the battery housing. The housing base is then bent, outward along the gap, whereby a cavity is enlarged between the battery module and the housing base. A viscous heat-conductive filler is then supplied into the cavity through the gap. Subsequently, the bending of the housing base is reversed by pushing the housing base back in the direction of the battery module.

  • Publication number: 20200132452
    Abstract: A surface sensing device is mounted on an articulating probe head of a coordinate measuring machine. The device includes an elongate probe holder which is rotatable about an axis. An elongate sensing module includes a surface finish or surface roughness probe with a stylus tip. This is connected to the probe holder via an adjustable knuckle joint. To determine the geometry of the surface sensing device, including the tip normal and drag vector of the stylus tip, the orientations of the probe holder and the sensing module are determined by probing points which are spaced along their lengths, using a separate probe.

  • Patent number: 10627259
    Abstract: A method of determining sub-divisional error of an encoder apparatus, which is configured to measure relative position of relatively moveable parts of an apparatus on which an inspection device for inspecting an artefact is mounted, includes causing the inspection device to inspect a feature so as to obtain measurements of a surface of the feature by relatively moving the relatively moveable parts of the apparatus. The method also includes using the measurements of the surface of the feature obtained by the inspection device during the inspection of the feature to determine the sub-divisional error of the encoder apparatus.
