  • Patent number: 9524032
    Abstract: A method for operator control of a motor vehicle component by a gesture includes: detecting the gesture being executed by an input unit of an operator in a three-dimensional operator control space, which is part of an interior of a motor vehicle; executing an operator control function associated with the identified gesture; and outputting a feedback signal as soon as the input unit enters or has entered the three-dimensional operator control space from outside the three-dimensional operator control space.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 9, 2013
    Date of Patent: December 20, 2016
    Assignee: Continental Automotive GmbH

  • Publication number: 20120284031
    Abstract: A method and device for operating technical equipment, in particular in a motor vehicle. Speech inputs are fed by a speech input unit and manual inputs are fed by means of a manual input unit as operating instructions to a controller by which a command corresponding to the operating instruction is generated and fed to the corresponding technical equipment, which then executes the operating procedure associated with the operating instruction. A basic structure of the command is established by the speech input unit or the manual input unit, and then the basic structure of the command is supplemented by the manual input unit or the speech input unit.

  • Patent number: 6706830
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the copolymerization of conjugated diolefins with non-conjugated olefins in the presence of rare earth metal catalysts. The advantages of the process according to the invention are in particular the high selectivity, good space-time yield and the possibility of being able to vary the reaction conditions within a wide range.
