  • Patent number: 8939467
    Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle steering wheel with a steering wheel hub, a steering wheel rim and steering wheel spokes which connect the steering wheel rim with the steering wheel hub, wherein the steering wheel hub includes a steering wheel fastening region for fastening the vehicle steering wheel to a steering shaft of a vehicle, and wherein in the vehicle steering wheel a gas bag is mounted. It is provided that the gas bag is arranged in the vehicle steering wheel in radial direction exclusively outside the steering wheel hub and/or eccentrically to the steering wheel hub. It thus becomes possible that in the case of an attachment of the vehicle steering wheel to a steering shaft, the steering wheel fastening region is accessible in axial direction and is not covered by the mounted gas bag.

  • Patent number: 7143738
    Abstract: In a direct-injection spark-ignition internal combustion engine having one injector per cylinder for injecting fuel into a combustion chamber, wherein the injector has an injection nozzle with a plurality of injection holes which are distributed over its circumference, so that the jets of fuel from the injection holes form during an injection process a conical cloud of fuel, the piston opposite the injection nozzle includes a piston recess provided with a plurality of radial cavities extending from the recess radially into the piston head for receiving fuel injected into the combustion chamber.

  • Patent number: 7013864
    Abstract: In a fuel injector for a direct-injection internal combustion engine comprising an injection nozzle, on the circumference of which a plurality of injection orifices are arranged so as to line up with one another, to form an orifice arrangement for the formation of an essentially conical fuel cloud from the individual fuel jets of the respective injection orifices the nozzle orifice locations are displaced so as to form a recess in the jet envelope in an area where a spark plug is located into which the spark plug extends so as to safely ignite the fuel cloud without getting wetted by the fuel.

  • Publication number: 20060028582
    Abstract: A parallel, nearly simultaneous transmission channel simulates real-time interactive capability from a television station to a viewer in a peripheral device for a television set including an interface at which the television signal can be picked up. The peripheral device is provided with a plug-in device for connecting the peripheral device to the interface of the television set or an additional interface that is connected to the television set. At least one portion of the television signal applied to the one interface or the additional interface is processed by a processing device of the peripheral device while the data supplied by the processing device is transmitted to a receiver unit via a transmitter unit of the peripheral device.

  • Patent number: 5833477
    Abstract: A device for transmitting electrical signals between components which can be rotated relative to one another, in particular in motor vehicle steering systems, with a rotatable hub surrounded by a stationary housing and with at least one electrical lead which is connected at one end to the rotatable hub and at the other end to a stationary component. The device is characterized in that the electrical lead is connected and guided such that, in both end positions when the hub rotates in the clockwise direction or in the counterclockwise direction, the electrical lead is wound up on the hub in the respective opposite direction, whereas the electrical lead is unwound from the hub in the center position thereof.
