  • Publication number: 20240059218
    Abstract: A mirror housing for an outer mirror of a vehicle, preferably a passenger car, having an outer shell for receiving a mirror assembly, and having an inner shell. The outer shell includes a mirror opening closed in a circumferential direction for arranging a mirror of the mirror assembly. The inner shell is fastened to the outer shell in the region of the mirror opening. The inner shell lines the mirror opening from the inside along the circumferential direction.

  • Patent number: 11390145
    Abstract: A motor vehicle (1) has a first front door (2) and a first rear door (3) arranged behind one another on a first longitudinal side of the motor vehicle (1), and a second front door and a second rear door arranged behind one another on a second longitudinal side of the motor vehicle (1). The second longitudinal side lies opposite the first longitudinal side. Each of the two front doors (2) has a lowerable door pane (4), and each of the two rear doors (3) has a fixed door pane (6). The rear doors (3) have a frameless configuration, and the fixed door panes (6) extending as far as the front doors (2).

  • Patent number: 11338849
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for analyzing and/or at least partially compensating steering wheel torsional vibrations, particularly during operation of a steering device in a vehicle, wherein at least one sensing signal is acquired and at least one interference characteristic variable which is correlated to the steering wheel torsional vibration is extracted from the sensing signal. It is proposed that during a monitoring time interval a change over time in the interference characteristic variable and a change over time in a wheel frequency which is correlated to a current wheel rotational speed characteristic variable is monitored and said changes are combined in order to analyze and/or to at least partially compensate steering wheel torsional vibrations to form a common evaluation dataset.

  • Patent number: 11028632
    Abstract: A window lift assembly (3) of a motor vehicle window (5) has a window pane (4) that can be divided into a first pane region (6) and a second pane region (7) in a width direction (8) of the window pane (4). A first window lift (9) carries the window pane (4) in the first pane region (6) and a second window lift (10) carries the window pane (4) in the second pane region (7). The two window lifts (9,10) are actuable independently of each other to move the window pane (4) rectilinearly up and down, to incline the window pane (4) and/or to move the window pane (4) up and down in an inclined manner.
