  • Patent number: 11351902
    Abstract: A holding device for a motor vehicle, includes at least one rod element, which has a first end with a cross-sectional surface, which forms a part of a holding surface of the holding device. A main extension axis of the at least one rod element intersects the part of the holding surface such that a second end, opposite the first end, of the at least one rod element is facing away from the part of the holding surface and protrudes into the holding device, and an adjustment device for adjusting the at least one rod element along the main extension direction.

  • Publication number: 20220027949
    Abstract: A motor vehicle has a display system with a display apparatus arranged on an outer side of the motor vehicle in a manner in which it can be viewed by a user outside the motor vehicle. An item of optical information is displayed on the display apparatus having content that is determined by an electronic computing device of the display apparatus by virtue of communication with the display apparatus using a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal is used to create an interest profile which characterizes the user on the basis of use of the mobile terminal and the interest profile is transmitted to the electronic computing device, so that the optical information can be determined for the user on the basis of the interest profile of the user for display on the display apparatus.

  • Patent number: 10675993
    Abstract: A vehicle seat, which includes a seat part, for a motor vehicle. The seat part is fixed in place on a supporting device of the vehicle seat, said device being arranged below the seat part in the direction of a vertical axis of the vehicle seat and being able to travel together with the seat part in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle seat. The supporting device is designed as a base plate that has a front section, which, in the longitudinal direction, projects beyond a front edge of the seat part. The front section of the base plate is designed for resting the feet of an occupant of the vehicle seat. The invention further relates to a motor vehicle having such a vehicle seat.

  • Patent number: 6839962
    Abstract: A micromechanical structure is described which is disposed on a base body and requires protection from environmental influences by a covering body. Furthermore, electrical contacts are necessary for establishing contacts for the micromechanical structure. By skillfully carrying out a sawing-into operation and a sawing-through operation, it is possible to expose the electrical contact.

  • Patent number: 6734770
    Abstract: A microrelay has a switching part which is pivotably suspended on a substrate and can be moved into two alternative switching states like a rocker, by electrostatic attraction through the use of suitably attached electrodes. The switching function is brought about by electrodes which are fastened to the substrate above the rocker being shorted by metallizations or contact electrodes on an upper side of the switching part.
