Abstract: A vehicle safety illumination method and arrangement is provided including a head light control unit for modulating an intensity of a head light of a vehicle between a low beam mode and a high beam mode. The arrangement may include a switch for actuating the head light control unit, and sensors to detect an object in front of the vehicle. The arrangement also includes a processor to determine if an object detected constitutes a potential collision threat to the vehicle. The arrangement is arranged to actuate the head light control unit if an object in front of the vehicle is determined to constitute a potential collision threat to the vehicle.

Abstract: A stack of folded web material for hygiene products, such as paper or nonwoven products, said stack including: at least two webs, the webs including: a first web divided into individual sheets by means of lines of weakness; and a second web divided into individual sheets by means of lines of weakness; said first and second webs being interfolded with one another so as to form said stack; and wherein the first web and the second web are arranged in said stack such that the lines of weakness of the first web and the lines of weakness of the second web are offset with respect to one another along the webs; each line of weakness having a separation strength, being the force required to separate an individual sheet from the web along said line of weakness.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to a vehicle safety arrangement and method for preventing or mitigating accidents when turning across lanes with oncoming traffic in a vehicle including an Electrical Power Assisted Steering (EPAS). Oncoming traffic in one or more adjacent lanes and other vehicles approaching from behind are detected by forward and rearward looking detection systems respectively. An intention to turn across an adjacent lane is determined. Standstill of the host vehicle is determined. A control unit is arranged to, during determined standstill and a determined intention to turn across a lane containing oncoming traffic, determine if a risk of the host vehicle being hit from behind is high, and if so determined, generate and send a control signal to an EPAS control unit, which, in response to receiving such a control signal, is arranged to cause the EPAS to align the steerable wheels of the host vehicle.

Abstract: A package of web material for hygiene products, for use in a dispenser, including: a stack including web material being folded about transverse folding lines, thereby providing panels having a length along said folding lines, and a width perpendicular to said folding lines, said panels being piled on top of each other to form a height of said stack, such that said stack outlines a rectangular parallelepiped, and forming six outer surfaces, including the folded edges of the web material, and a wrapper extending at least over said height direction, so as to maintain the integrity of the stack during transport and storage thereof. The wrapper includes an opening feature for predetermined opening of the package, and said package is configured to be openable such that the wrapper is removable from the integrity of the stack while the stack is resting on an outer surface thereof.

Abstract: A vehicle yaw stability control method and a vehicle yaw stability control apparatus are provided. The yaw rate {dot over (?)} of the vehicle is measured. A first reference yaw rate {dot over (?)}ref is set. A difference yaw rate ?{dot over (?)} is set. Stabilizing braking intervention is triggered when a value of the difference yaw rate ?{dot over (?)} exceeds limits defined by difference yaw rate threshold values ?{dot over (?)}min, ?{dot over (?)}max. Information regarding the shape of the road ahead of the vehicle is acquired. The reliability of the driver steering input ? is evaluated upon stabilizing braking intervention being triggered. In case the driver steering input ? is deemed unreliable a replacement reference yaw rate {dot over (?)}refroad is set based on the acquired road shape and a replacement difference yaw rate ?{dot over (?)}road is set whereupon stabilizing braking intervention is performed based on the replacement difference yaw rate ?{dot over (?)}road.
