  • Patent number: 10112622
    Abstract: A vehicle includes at least one main sensor unit, the measurement signal of which is characteristic of a main driver desire of a vehicle occupant with regard to an influence on the driving behavior of the vehicle, and at least one secondary sensor unit, the measurement signal of which is characteristic of a secondary driver desire. The main driver desire is represented by a motion of a hand or a foot of the vehicle occupant. The secondary driver desire is represented in a manner other than by the motion of the hand or the foot of the vehicle occupant. The vehicle also has at least one actuator. The actuator influences the driving behavior of the vehicle in dependence on a control signal. A resulting driver desire with regard to the influence on the driving behavior of the vehicle is determined in dependence on the main driver desire and in dependence on the secondary driver desire. In the case of a neutral value of the main driver desire, the secondary driver desire is assigned to the resulting driver desire.

  • Patent number: 9365113
    Abstract: A cruise control system for motor vehicles controls the vehicle speed to a preset desired speed. The cruise control system includes an operating unit for switching the cruise control on and off, an accelerator pedal, normally present in the vehicle, for activating the cruise control and for presetting the desired speed, and a brake pedal, also normally present in the vehicle, for interrupting the active cruise control. The operating unit is configured as a single operating element, during whose actuation the cruise control is switched on or off as a function of the actual operating condition of the cruise control system.

  • Patent number: 9114809
    Abstract: A cruise controller and method are provided for motor vehicles for the purpose of adjusting the vehicle speed on the basis of a predefined setpoint speed. The cruise controller includes a monitoring device, which is designed to evaluate the vehicle state variables steering wheel angle, lateral acceleration, and/or yaw rate. If one of the evaluated vehicle state variables exceeds a predefined first vehicle state variable limit value, the cruise control function is switched into a standby mode.

  • Patent number: 9102235
    Abstract: A method for reactivating an interrupted cruise control function of a cruise control system of a vehicle is provided. When the vehicle is not in the stationary state, in order to allow the driver to reactivate intuitively the interrupted cruise control function, the driver may reactivate the interrupted cruise control function by actuating a gas pedal of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 7964389
    Abstract: A quantitative sampler of pathogens in exhaled air is provided. The quantitative sampler includes an air inputting pipe for a sampled individual to blow exhaled air; a check valve unit for preventing the exhaled air from reversely flowing; an aerosol filtering unit having an aerosol filtering material for collecting aerosol particles in the exhaled air; and an air flow meter for measuring if total accumulated volume of the exhaled air reaches a predetermined sampling volume defined as a concentration denominator of exhaled pathogens. The quantitative sampler can be used to collect the aerosol particles, and then moves the aerosol filtering material out of the aerosol filtering unit followed by separating genetic substances in the aerosol particles from the aerosol filter, so that a real-time qPCR can be reacted by using the genetic substances for obtaining a quantitative concentration of the exhaled pathogens.

  • Patent number: 7933130
    Abstract: An embedded seat slot structure is disposed at a device having an opening. The embedded seat slot structure includes a cover, an interlocking portion, and a base. The cover covers the opening. The interlocking portion is pivotally connected with the device via a first pivot. An end of the interlocking portion close to the first pivot is connected with the cover. The base is pivotally connected with the device via a second pivot. An end of the base far away from the second pivot is close to the interlocking portion. The base has a connector facing the opening. When the cover is opened, the interlocking portion is driven to rotate, an end far away from the first pivot pushes the base, and then the base is rotated to make the connector exposed at the opening.
