  • Patent number: 12007765
    Abstract: A method for assisting a user in the remote control of a motor vehicle by a remote-control device is disclosed. Depending on sensor data provided by means of at least one environment sensor of the motor vehicle, a first surroundings image of at least one part of the surroundings of the motor vehicle from a determined perspective is provided and displayed by means of the remote-control device. In this case, the determined perspective is selected from a number of selectable perspectives as a perspective that is independent of a position of the at least one environment sensor, depending on a user input effected by the user and detected by means of the remote-control device.

  • Publication number: 20230100972
    Abstract: In a method for coating a base body, a first target and a second target are arranged in a vacuum chamber. A base body to be coated is arranged in the vacuum chamber is heated to a coating temperature of less than 600° C. During sputtering with sputter gas ions, first target particles are liberated from the first target and second target particles are liberated from the second target and are deposited as coating particles on the base body. A first sputter rate is specified for the first target and a second sputter rate is specified for the second target such that, during the sputtering process, the coating is generated as an A15 phase with an intended stoichiometric ratio of the first target particles to the second target particles. A functional element has a base body and a coating of Nb3Sn applied directly on the surface of the base body.

  • Patent number: 10447048
    Abstract: An electrical device having a transport safety system that prevents unwanted discharge of the battery during transport. The electrical device has a battery connected to the electrical device, a charging device configured to be connected to the electrical device or to the battery, and an electrical discharge protection circuit associated with the battery or the electrical device to prevent discharge of the battery during transport. The electrical discharge protection circuit is adapted to be activated when connected to the charging device by engaging a button actuation on the electrical device, and is adapted to be deactivated by charging the battery. The discharge protection circuit is configured so that a wanted or unwanted actuation of the button when the discharge protection circuit is activated does not lead to activation of electrical components of the electrical device.
