Abstract: A method for determining relative degrees of reflectance of a measurement surface, having the method steps of applying measurement radiation to the measurement surface, such that a measurement spot is produced on the management surface, moving the measurement spot along at least a first straight measurement spot path, over the measurement surface in accordance with a first path movement and along a second straight measurement spot path with a second path movement, recording a first and second image sets of a plurality of locally resolved images of the measurement surface during the first path movement and the second path movement. An evaluation is carried out at intersection points, whose location points on the management surface are defined by evaluation lines, wherein a first group of straight evaluation lines within the first measurement path region and a second group of straight evaluation lines within the second measurement path region are predefined and/or determined.

Abstract: The present invention in various embodiments relates to an illuminating device for a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, for realizing an asymmetrical light distribution. The asymmetrical light distribution has a greater illumination depth on the vehicle's side of traffic than it does on the side of oncoming traffic.

Abstract: A stacking device for uniform platelike pieces includes a conveying device and a container in which the pieces, which are advanced by the conveying device, are deposited with the front side of one piece against the back side of another. In order to protect the coated surface of the pieces the latter are separated from one another by means of intermediate layers separately fed into the container.

Abstract: A method of making a temperature dependent resistor probe for measuring temperature or mass of a flowing medium includes (a) preparation of a support plate of a metallic material; (b) applying a support foil of a temperature resistant plastic material on one side of the support plate; (c) applying a layer of temperature dependent resistive material on the support foil and finishing the resistive layer into a measuring resistor layer; and thereafter, an opening is formed in the support plate in the area below the measuring resistor layer.
