Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a device for wireless charging of an electrical energy store of a mobile terminal for a motor vehicle, the device including charging electronics positioned within a housing. The housing includes a support region on which to place the mobile terminal, the support region including at least two elevations, each elevation has a first predetermined height extends along a length of the support region, and is arranged in parallel at a predetermined distance from one another. When the mobile terminal is placed on the at least two elevations, an air channel is formed. The housing includes at least one air inlet opening and at least one air outlet opening configured to blow air out into the air channel. Furthermore, at least one barrier that swirls the air blown out into the air channel is arranged in the air channel.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a multi-layered speaker cover for covering a speaker. The speaker cover has at least one first layer and a second layer, wherein the first layer is an air-permeable layer and the second layer is a layer with through-holes for reducing dynamic pressure.

Abstract: The approach relates to an energy absorption element for a support frame of a motor vehicle and is characterized in that a cross-sectional profile is designed as a hollow profile which remains constant along a longitudinal direction of the energy absorption element having at least two closed chambers, so that the energy absorption element comprises at least two mutually separate chamber cavities and the at least two chamber cavities have an elongated shape along the longitudinal direction of the energy absorption element and each chamber cavity is open at two longitudinal ends of the energy absorption element and each chamber cavity is fluidly connected to a sound generator.

Abstract: One embodiment of a chair mounted on a swiveling, telescoping column (14) supported by a five-legged base (10), each with its own caster (12). A seat (16) is attached to the top of the swiveling column. A knee support assembly (34) is suspended from the seat base (32). The seat is in a horizontal position, but the seat, back support (18) and knee support may be adjustable as a unit to a forward tilt. Other embodiments are described and shown.

Abstract: A spacecraft architecture and accompanying standard allows for the creation of a spacecraft using an assortment of modules that comply with the standard. The standard preferably includes both mechanical and electrical compatibility criteria. To assure physical/mechanical compatibility, the structure of each module is constrained to be compatible with any other compatible module. To minimize the interference among modules, the extent of each module in select dimensions is also constrained. To assure functional compatibility, a common communication format is used to interface with each module, and each public-function module is configured to respond to requests for function capabilities that it can provide to other functions. Each module is preferably designed to provide structural support to the assemblage of modules, and an anchor module is provided or defined for supporting the entire assemblage and coupling the assemblage to other structures, such as a launch vehicle.

Abstract: A network architecture and protocol provides “plug and play” spacecraft capabilities. A distributed-control architecture is used, wherein each component operates semi-autonomously, and interacts with other components on a task/resource level. Each component announces its requirement for system resources as a request to the network, and components that can provide some or all of the requested resources respond to the request. An arbitration device centralizes and coordinates requests for critical and/or singular resources, such as requests for a specific orientation of the spacecraft. To facilitate such distributed control, requests are made in advance of the requirement for the resource, and include a time interval during which the resource is required. A configuration and test system is provided to process the mission requirements and provide a set of components that can be configured to satisfy the requirements.
