Abstract: A degassing system for a housing of an accumulator includes a labyrinth bolt having a bolt wall in which a plurality of channels are provided, which extend from the bolt interior toward outlets which are arranged in an axial section of the bolt wall. The degassing system also includes a labyrinth corso having a corso wall which, in the installed state, runs around the axial section of the bolt wall such that a gap is formed in the axial section between the bolt wall and the corso wall. The degassing system further includes a gas permeable membrane, which is arranged on an upper face of the labyrinth bolt.

Abstract: In the case of a head restraint (1) for a vehicle seat, with a support (5), at least two rockers (15, 25) which are arranged movably on the support (5) and are pivotable about horizontal spindles (7, 17), an impact element (13) which is coupled to the rockers (15, 25) and, with the rockers (15, 25) and the support (5), forms at least one four-bar linkage (31), and a spring (21) as an energy accumulator which drives the four-bar linkage (31) in the event of a crash, so that the impact element (13) extends forward out of a starting position into a crash position, at least one leg (25) of the spring (21) forms one of the rockers.

Abstract: In protecting Flash memory data, a flexible system and method provides for different levels of protection. It offers the ability to dynamically lock a sector of memory using a dynamic protection bit in volatile memory. It offers persistent locking of a sector using a non-volatile bit in memory and locking this status using a lock bit in volatile memory. It offers yet further protection by including a password mode which requires a password to clear the lock bit. The password is located in an unreadable, one time programmable area of the memory. The memory also includes areas, whose protection state is controlled by an input signal, for storing boot code in a protected manner.
