Abstract: A storage system for reversibly storing and releasing a gas such as hydrogen includes storage elements each having a storage volume with a storage material such as a metal-organic framework (MOF) for reversibly adsorbing or physiosorbing the gas, a gastight housing surrounding the storage volume and having a gas inlet/outlet which is in fluid-conducting communication with the storage volume, and at least one non-fluid activating element or activating layer configured to, when in an activation state, release the gas stored in the MOF and/or increases the rate of release relative to an unactivated state. The activating element or layer may surround and/or penetrate the storage material. The activating element may be controlled by an associated control to enter the activation state.

Abstract: A solar-protection device is described for shading a light-transmitting surface, said solar-protection device including a light-transmitting component with a surface and with a number of surface elements arranged on the surface in the form of a grid, which are designed to vary their transmittance. The solar-protection device includes at least one device for determining the radiation intensity of the sunlight irradiation, at least one device for determining the direction of irradiation of the sunlight, and a control unit, designed to reduce, in a manner depending on the radiation intensity and on the direction of irradiation of the sunlight, the transmittance of a selected number of surface elements, so that the selected surface elements generate a pattern that can be varied in a manner depending on the direction of irradiation of the sunlight.

Abstract: An anti-rolling stabilizer for a motor vehicle is provided. The stabilizer includes a U-shaped torsion bar having an elongated base and two free ends. The elongated base is coupled to a vehicle frame and each of the free ends is coupled to one of a right-hand and a left-hand wheel-guiding element via a respective coupling bar. Each of the coupling bars includes an NVH vibration absorber configured to counteract vibrations of the respective coupling bar or of the respective wheel guiding element to which the coupling bar is configured to connect, wherein the NVH absorber counteracts vibrations in one or more predetermined frequency ranges without counteracting vibrations in other frequencies.
