  • Publication number: 20260139544
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a corner connection (1) between two mitre-cut hollow-chamber profile portions (14, 14?) using a connecting element (2) which has two legs (3, 3?) arranged in an angled manner, depressions (4, 4?) on the outer side of the legs (3, 3?), and a channel system (10) in the legs for guiding a thermoplastic connecting compound, which channel system (10) has inflow openings (7, 7?) and also outlet openings (11, 11?) which open into the depressions (4, 4?), the method comprising: (a) providing the portions (14, 14?); (b) incorporating through-openings through the walls of the hollow-chamber profile in such a way that the through-openings and the inflow openings (7, 7?) of the channel system (10) are aligned when the legs (3, 3?) have been introduced into a respective hollow chamber (13, 13?) of the portions (14, 14?); (c) introducing the legs (3, 3?) into a respective hollow chamber (13, 13?) in such a way that the through-openings and the inflow openings (7, 7?) are alig

  • Patent number: 12420499
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a fiber-reinforced, polymeric continuous profiled element (1), wherein the continuous profiled element (1), having preferably at least one hollow chamber (2, 2?), comprises a core profile (10) which can be produced by means of a pultrusion process, and wherein during the pultrusion process at least one continuous strand having reinforcement fibers (5) is integrated into the polymer matrix (4) of the core profile (10). According to the invention, the curing of the core profile (10) is carried out by means of a dual-cure method.

  • Publication number: 20240359384
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a polymer, in particular a thermoplastic, window or door hollow-chamber profile (1), wherein the hollow-chamber profile (1) which comprises at least one hollow chamber (2, 2?) is produced by means of an extrusion production process (3), wherein, during this extrusion production process (3), continuous reinforcing fibres (5) are integrated into the polymer matrix (4) of the hollow-chamber profile (1), and wherein the extrusion production process (3) is intended to produce at least one continuously fibre-reinforced core profile (10) of the hollow-chamber profile (1), which core profile has at least one hollow chamber (2), and the core profile (10) is provided with a preferably extruded outer coating (12) to improve the surface quality of the hollow-chamber profile (1).

  • Patent number: 10604157
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method and an apparatus that tests a driver assistance system. In a method that tests a driver assistance system in a vehicle, the vehicle includes at least one visual sensor, and the driver assistance system initiates a vehicle reaction based on input data provided by the visual sensor. A provision of the input data is modified using at least one virtual object. In this ease, this modification is carried out by virtue of an image captured by the visual sensor, or scenery captured by the visual sensor being enriched using the at least one virtual object before being captured by the visual sensor.
