Abstract: A method is proposed for maneuvering a vehicle. The vehicle has a steer-by-wire steering system having a steering handle and a steering gear actuator for changing a travel direction of the vehicle. In a manual driving operating state, a maneuvering process is detected based on a steering specification at the steering handle and a vehicle velocity. A target vehicle trajectory correlated with a driver intention for the maneuvering process is ascertained or predicted based on the steering specification at the steering handle and an environmental condition. An actual vehicle trajectory is progressively compared during the maneuvering process to the target vehicle trajectory. The actual vehicle trajectory is corrected in the event of a deviation from the target vehicle trajectory by means of a maneuvering assistance function and by an assisting intervention of the maneuvering assistance function in a lateral control of the vehicle.

Abstract: A software update device includes a communication unit connected with an electronic device that executes software, and a wake-up receiving unit. When the wake-up receiving unit receives a wake-up request from a wireless access point registered in advance, the wake-up receiving unit allows the communication unit to transition from a sleep state to a wake-up state. When the communication unit transitioned to the wake-up state, the communication unit initiates wireless communication with an external device, and updates the software of the electronic device by update software received from the external device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a spacer fabric (1) for a motor vehicle, which is composed of a hinge layer (2) and a top layer (5), and the hinge layer (2), at least in sections, has a higher tensile strength and/or higher extensibility. The hinge layer (2) therefore prevents tearing of the spacer fabric (1), wherein the top layer (5) promotes tearing of the spacer fabric (1). The present invention further relates to an airbag cover comprising such a spacer fabric (1).

Abstract: The solution of the present invention is a precoding that allows an optimal use of multiple-antennas in a MIMO system. The precoding uses codebooks that are optimized for long-range wireless transmissions. A modified Kerdock codebook {wkmi} allows further improvement of the precoding gain. The modified Kerdock codebook {wkmi} contains new codewords wkmi that have been modified in order to further improve the transmit bit error rate (BER). The modified codebook {wkmi} allows a precoding gain that is between 2-3 dB. The present invention improves the transmit bit error rate (BER) of a wireless system. It allows a longer range in outdoor MIMO systems. Less signal outage is the result which allows that wireless signals can be transmitted over several kilometers.

Abstract: A wireless communication device 81 operates in either a ROD mode or a non-ROD mode. The non-ROD mode sets the state of the device to an active state that the device can perform wireless communication compliant with a first communication scheme with a communication destination device 82. The ROD mode: sets the state of the device to either the active state or a sleep state that the device can receive an activation instruction signal compliant with a second communication scheme requiring smaller electric power to receive a signal than the first communication scheme and cannot perform wireless communication compliant with the first communication scheme with the communication destination device; sets the state of the device to the sleep state when a predetermined sleep condition is satisfied; and sets the state of the device to the active state when the device receives the activation instruction signal.
