  • Patent number: 11935262
    Abstract: A method where one or more objects of a three-dimensional scene are determined in accordance with provided raw data of the three-dimensional scene representing a predefined environment inside and/or outside the vehicle. A two-dimensional image is determined in accordance with the provided raw data of the three-dimensional scene such that the two-dimensional image depicts the determined objects of the three-dimensional scene on a curved plane. The two-dimensional image has a quantity of pixels, each representing at least one part or several of the determined objects of the three-dimensional scene. Data is provided which represents at least one determined field of view of the driver. For at least one of the determined objects, the probability with which the at least one object will be located in the field of view of the driver is determined in accordance with the provided data and the two-dimensional image.

  • Patent number: 10151106
    Abstract: A new prefabricated wall panel is the basic unit of a new, more efficient and stronger wall system. The wall panel is manufactured from a plurality of foam sections sized to leave vertical and horizontal voids into which concrete is later poured, each foam section having an inner and outer surface and two sides; and a plurality of fastening strips. The fastening strips are longitudinal metal strips being situated between the sides of two foam sections. Each fastening strip has two longitudinal fastening strips projecting perpendicularly to the longitudinal fastening strip and the fastening strips being adjacent to the outer surface of the two foam sections.

  • Patent number: 8281776
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a weapon that provides a range control (2), by means of which it is possible to set firing velocity, and thus impact velocity, of the ammunition or active bodies (10) to a distance to be discharged in such a way that, in particular, the non-lethal ammunition (10) continues to have a non-lethal effect. To this end, a type of pneumatic weapon (1) is described that, with the use of a shot pressure control, e.g. by means of a proportional pressure regulator (3), and/or additionally in combination with breech technology and valve technology, has a continuously variable range control.
