  • Patent number: 10913336
    Abstract: A method for producing a vehicle roof for a motor vehicle may have the steps of providing of a first roof module with a frame element and of a second roof module which is frameless with respect to the first roof module. The method may further provide the step of foaming of an edge of the second roof module at a predefined position, and coupling of a rear (in relation to a longitudinal axis (L) of the vehicle roof) section of the frame element of the first roof module to the foamed edge of the second roof module, and configuring of a modular roof as a result.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 12, 2017
    Date of Patent: February 9, 2021

  • Patent number: 7644980
    Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle roof with a movable roof section which can be deployed into a ventilation position by means of a deploy and/or displacement mechanism and/or then displaced above or below the vehicle roof or an at least temporarily stationary roof section for at least partially releasing a roof opening in the vehicle roof. The deploy and/or displacement mechanism comprises at least one vertical gate (9) which has at least one guide web (10), disposed perpendicular to the gate (9) and having slide tracks (15, 16) that are at least partially encircled by a slide element of a slide (8) that can be displaced along a guide rail. The gate (9) is produced from metal and the guide web (10) at least partially from plastic. In order to provide a simple and stable gate (9) having good sliding properties, the gate (9) comprises a plurality of spaced-apart openings (11) for anchoring the plastic (14) of the guide webs (10).

  • Publication number: 20050206337
    Abstract: A method of conditioning a signal being communicated between a system to be controlled and a controller may include monitoring an actual output signal and conditioning the actual output signal. The method also includes determining the difference between the actual output signal and the condition signal and causing the actual output signal to be filtered based on the relationship between the difference between the actual output signal and the conditioned signal.
