  • Patent number: 12485879
    Abstract: A method and a system for the at least partially automated parking of a motor vehicle, wherein a trajectory is provided, the motor vehicle is driven in an at least partially automated manner along the trajectory, and the trajectory is displayed on a display device with an overview map of an environment. Furthermore, by at least one camera, environment regions of the environment are captured as respective image data, at least some of which are saved allocated to the related environment regions, wherein at the time of display of the overview map, all of the image data saved up until this point in time are displayed in corresponding display regions on the overview map.

  • Patent number: 11161454
    Abstract: A motor vehicle, having a plurality of image recording devices arranged across the entire vehicle for recording images of the vehicle environment, includes a control device for generating an image representation showing the 360° environment around the motor vehicle on the basis of the images. The motor vehicle further includes a display device for displaying the image representation. The control device is designed to generate an additional partial image representation showing the area below the motor vehicle on the basis of images recorded, and to integrate the partial image representation into the displayed image representation for outputting an overall image representation. At least one sensor device is provided which detects the area below the motor vehicle and communicates with the control device. The overall image representation can be modifiable at least in the area of the partial image representation on the basis of the sensor information.

  • Patent number: 10988144
    Abstract: A driver assistance system for a motor vehicle having a first assistance subsystem for capturing a first sub-area of an environment of the motor vehicle and having a second assistance subsystem for capturing a second sub-area of the environment. The first assistance subsystem is configured to generate a first image of the first sub-area and the second assistance subsystem is configured to generate a second image of the second sub-area. The driver assistance system has a display device for displaying at least the first image. The display device being configured to display a first augmented reality, the first augmented reality being generated by superimposition of the first image with first assistance information of the first assistance subsystem as the first augmented reality content and by superimposition with second assistance information of the second assistance subsystem as the second augmented reality content.

  • Patent number: 8582723
    Abstract: In a rotatable anode (4) of an X-ray tube, a heat transfer between the rotating disc of the anode (4a) and the second bearing element (11) is achieved by providing a contact material (14) within a gap (16a, b) between the anode disc (4a) and the second bearing element (11). Contact elements (15) protrude from the second bearing element (11) into the contact material (14), thus allowing a heat transfer from anode disc (4a) to second bearing element (11) via contact material (14) and contact element (15).

  • Patent number: 7654740
    Abstract: X-ray tube and method for determination of focal spot properties The invention relates to an x-ray tube (1) comprising at least one cathode (3) which emits electrons accelerated towards a rotating anode (5) such that the focal spot (27) is formed on a surface (9) of the anode (5). A structure (15), in particular slits or pits (13), is disposed on the surface (9) of the anode (5). The x-ray tube (1) comprises a detector (7) for detecting a detection signal which changes, if the structure (15) on the rotating anode (5) passes the focal spot. The x-ray tube (1) further comprises determination means (6) for determining properties of the focal spot from changes of the detection signal. Thus, properties of the focal spot can be determined from changes of the detection signal during operation of the x-ray tube (1).
