Abstract: A measuring device for the determination of an ash loading of a particulate filter for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, where a regeneration operation of the particulate filter is carried out such that, after termination of the regeneration operation, a predefined, minimum soot loading remains on the particulate filter. The measuring device is configured to determine an actual regeneration variable which is characteristic for a loading combustion operation during the regeneration operation of the particulate filter via a pressure sensor which is attached downstream in the exhaust gas flow of the particulate filter in the exhaust gas system of the internal combustion engine. The measuring device is further configured to determine the ash loading of the particulate filter dependent on the actual regeneration variable and a variable which is characteristic for the time duration of the regeneration operation.

Abstract: To find a parking space for a vehicle in a target area, a connection server stores connection data associated with the target area for a plurality of data servers. A search request to find a parking space in the target area is addressed to the connection server. The connection server uses the association data to establish a connection to the data servers and, in the process, queries whether availability data relating to available parking spaces in the target area are stored in the respective database. In a first query stage, the data servers are preselected, in which case first parking space data based on the target area are requested by the connection server and corresponding first feedback data from the data servers are used to respond whether the respective data server contains parking space data relating to the target area.

Abstract: A coupling module provides an interface between the cabin of a passenger bridge and an aircraft. The coupling module has a projecting roof and a coupling module floor spanned by the projecting roof, with the coupling module being horizontally separable.

Abstract: In order to operate a navigation system in a vehicle where navigation data of the navigation system are transferred to at least one of a plurality of control devices of the vehicle, wherein the data is transferred via at least one data bus to which the control devices are connected, the navigation data are prioritized, and the transfer of the navigation data via the data bus is controlled on the basis of the prioritization.

Abstract: A mobile system is provided for a vehicle for recognizing a parking place that is potentially becoming free, along with a method for recognizing a parking place that is potentially becoming free. The system includes at least one sensor for detecting a signal that is typical for a parking place that is potentially becoming free, an evaluation unit for assessing whether a signal received by the sensor signifies a parking place that is potentially becoming free, and an optical and/or acoustic indicator unit for indicating a parking place that is potentially becoming free. With the system and method, parking places that are becoming free can be detected automatically when travelling through a specific road section.
