  • Patent number: 10507762
    Abstract: An electronic assembly for a motor vehicle includes a housing, a control and evaluation device disposed in the housing which is adapted to be coupled to a control device of the motor vehicle and an illumination device coupled to the control and evaluation device. The illumination device is adapted to be actuated by the control and evaluation device. A target area characterizing a detection area outside of the housing can be marked by an optical signal. The illumination device is adapted to be activated by the control and evaluation device for emitting light with different colors.

  • Patent number: 10214156
    Abstract: A rear view camera system for a motor vehicle includes a movable carrier assembly, a camera optical system, which is movable with the carrier assembly, and a drive unit coupled with the camera optical system. The camera optical system is pivoted in relation to the carrier assembly about an adjustable axis which is rotatably coupled with the drive unit and can be moved about the adjustable axis between a rest position and a recording position. These can be adjusted depending on the surrounding areas to be recorded. An eccentric component is coupled in movable fashion with the adjustable axis. A rotation of the eccentric component changes the distance between the adjustable axis and the support element so that the camera optical system can be moved to a recording position in which the camera optical system protrudes from the recess of the carrier assembly.

  • Patent number: 10070023
    Abstract: A camera apparatus for a motor vehicle includes a carrier housing which is disposed on a moveable vehicle part, and a camera module coupled to the carrier housing. The camera module includes a drive unit and a camera unit, wherein the drive unit is coupled to the camera unit and the drive unit is also coupled to a control mechanism. The camera unit is supported in the carrier housing such that it can rotate about a camera rotational axis, and can be rotated within an adjustment range, wherein the camera module forms at least a section of a handle extending along the camera rotational axis, with which a sensor mechanism, designed for sensing a proximity to the handle and/or for detecting an actuation of the handle, is coupled.

  • Patent number: 9669669
    Abstract: A structurally simple tire monitoring system for a vehicle, for establishing tire-specific parameters, includes a valve stem with an attachment section, a fastening element and a tire air pressure sensor with a housing that has a mounting region. When the fastening element is in a locking position, the attachment section and the mounting region are releasably connected to one another using the fastening element. This is achieved in that the mounting region of the fastening element is movably supported between the locking position and an unlocking position, in which the mounting region and the attachment section can be released from one another. An elastic latching element is provided, which allows a movement of the fastening element relative to the housing toward the unlocking position, counter to a pressure exerted by the latching element. The latching element presses the fastening element into the locking position.

  • Patent number: 9656523
    Abstract: A tire pressure control system for a vehicle for determining tire-specific parameters, includes a valve body with a mounting portion, at least one mounting element and a tire pressure sensor with a housing, which has a mounting area. The mounting portion is detachably engaged via a mounting element with the mounting area of the housing. The tire pressure control system can be mounted in an easy, compact, cost-effective and simple way in that the mounting element is integrally formed with the housing of the tire pressure sensor.

  • Publication number: 20150314756
    Abstract: A system for controlling access to a motor vehicle includes a vehicle-side control device which is coupled to a transmitter receiver device for wireless communication with a wireless ID provider. Upon actuation, a vehicle-side activation device transmits an activation signal to the ID provider. In the vehicle, an NFC (near field communication) device is provided in the region of the outer shell of the vehicle and is coupled to the activation device to actuate the activation device for transmitting the wake up signal, dependent upon an NFC data exchange between a vehicle-side NFC device and an external NFC communication device. Also disclosed is a related method for controlling access to a motor vehicle.
