Abstract: Methods for safe and supervised ride hailing experiences by a mobility service provider are disclosed. The methods advantageously utilize a monitoring device which is installed in the vehicle by the driver. The monitoring device enables a monitoring feature in which it records audio and video data during rides in the vehicle. If necessary, such as for resolving a dispute or in the event of an accident, the monitoring device uploads the recorded data to a cloud storage backend. The monitoring device has a recognizable design and is integrated with mobility service provider applications used by both the driver of the vehicle and the riders who hail rides. The services of the monitoring device are operated by a trusted, neutral third-party. The trusted, neutral third-party may provide live qualified support at the touch of a button in an emergency or if the rider/driver simply feels uncomfortable or unsafe.

Abstract: A device is described for providing state information of an automatic valet parking system. The device includes at least one off-board infrastructure component, which is located, in particular fixedly disposed within a parking area assigned to the automatic valet parking system. The infrastructure component is adapted for outputting state information of the automatic valet parking system. Thus, pieces of state information of the automatic valet parking system can be efficiently communicated.

Abstract: A packaging unit, in particular a drilling-tool packaging unit, for an insert tool, in particular a drilling tool, includes a fastening portion for fastening the packaging unit in or on a presentation device, in particular a presentation rack or a sales rack, and a receiving portion for receiving in or on the packaging unit an insert tool that is connected in a form-fitting manner to the receiving portion. The receiving portion is designed to hold the insert tool in a holding state of the packaging unit in which the receiving portion is realized so as to be integral with the fastening portion. In a separation state, in which the receiving portion has been separated from the fastening portion of the packaging unit, the receiving portion remains on the insert tool.

Abstract: A hang tag includes a main body and a retaining portion. The main body includes a ridge that extends in a direction from a top of the main body to a bottom of the main body. The ridge divides the main body into a first region at a first side of the ridge and a second region at a second side of the ridge. The retaining portion includes (a) prongs configured to, when the portion of the object is inserted in the retaining portion, engage with side grooves in opposite sides of the object to prevent the object from rotating, and (b) ribs configured to support the prongs when the prongs are forced towards the ribs.

Abstract: A plug configured to be fastened in a workpiece, in particular a drilled hole of a workpiece that can be, for example, wood, metal, plastic, stone, or composite, includes a hollow body that has at least one expansion arm and an expansion element. The expansion arm is configured to connect to the workpiece in at least one of a form fitting and force-fitting manner. The expansion element is configured to expand the at least one expansion arm, particularly at least substantially radially. The plug, in particular the expansion arm, further includes at least one cutting element configured to cut into the workpiece.
