  • Publication number: 20240025425
    Abstract: A calibration device for calibrating a driver assistance system. The calibration device includes a calibration board and two optically active elements, which make it possible to determine the position and/or the alignment of a motor vehicle with respect to the calibration device. The two optically active elements are attached at two mutually opposing ends of a holding device. The holding device has a longitudinal axis, which essentially extends in the horizontal direction. An acceleration sensor is attached at each of the two mutually opposing ends of the holding device.

  • Patent number: 9388781
    Abstract: A fuel accumulator block is provided for testing high-pressure components of fuel injection devices. The fuel accumulator block includes an accumulator body and at least one pressure control valve, which is accommodated in a receptacle in the accumulator body. The accumulator body is connected to a test line for a test medium and to a cooling line for a cooling medium. Within the accumulator body a test line run is developed for the test medium and a cooling line run is developed for the cooling medium. The cooling line run has at least one section which runs in the vicinity of the receptacle for the pressure control valve.

  • Patent number: 9360424
    Abstract: A calibration device is described for calibrating a scatterometer, which is designed in particular for measuring a particle concentration in exhaust gases of motor vehicles. The calibration device has at least one scattering body which emits scattered light having a defined intensity and distribution when irradiated with a light beam, the scattering body having an emission surface for the scattered light, to which is assigned at least one light sensor for detecting the scattered light exiting the emission surface. A screening body having at least one screen opening through which the scattered light exits in the direction of the at least one light sensor is assigned to the emission surface of the scattering body.
