Patent number: 11432108Abstract: The invention relates to a method to process data packets of a vehicle message received by a privacy gateway (100) from a vehicle (10) via a mobile communications network (20). The method comprises the following steps: The vehicle message transmitted by the vehicle (10) is received. A source IP address in the data packets of the vehicle message is identified. The source IP address in the data packets of the vehicle message is replaced by an IP address of a location collecting entity (50) of the mobile communications network (20). Said mobile communications network collects location information of a plurality of vehicles (10) resulting in an adapted vehicle message with adapted data packets containing the IP address of the location collecting entity as source IP address. Then, the adapted vehicle message is transmitted to a service providing entity (40) which is configured to provide location dependent services for the plurality of vehicles.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2015Date of Patent: August 30, 2022Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Tim Lauterbach, Alexander Federlin, Thomas Weidenfeller

Patent number: 9852638Abstract: A device moving in a space determines one or more zones around it, wherein the one or more zones are linked to the device and move together with the device through the space. The device detects if a border of a first of the one or more zones starts to intersect or stops to intersect with a border of an area inside the space. If the detecting is affirmative, the device transmits information related to the intersection. An apparatus receives this information from the device and adapts a status value of the area in dependence of the received information.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2015Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON(PUBL)Inventors: Branko Djordjevic, Tim Lauterbach, Frank Sell

Patent number: 8469436Abstract: A clamping device for sliding roofs is provided in the region of the guidance and runner rail. An actuation lever is pivotable between locking and release positions. A clamping element is modifiable in its position by means of the actuation lever, which coacts with a countermember of the end carriage and moves the end carriage to the end of the guidance and runner rail. The clamping element is aligned with the guidance and runner rail, and is shiftable in a longitudinal direction, between a locking position retaining the end carriage, and a release position. The guide comprises in a subregion on the underside an open space such that upon shifting of the actuation lever into the release position, the clamping element is at least partly lowerable sufficiently that the end carriage can be displaced away from the end of the guidance and runner rail.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2010Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: VBG Group Truck Equipment GmbHInventors: Udo Wensing, Hans Boris Hahnen, Frank Neumeyer, Frank Frentzen, Rolf Birkenbach, Joachim Rossbach, Karl Kemmerling, Axel Scholz, Tim Lauterbach, Rolf Weigelt, Ragnvald Andersson

Patent number: 8403396Abstract: The invention relates to a roller carriage for a sliding bow roof for a truck or truck trailer. The roof encompasses guidance and runner rails, extending on the cargo surface of the truck along the longitudinal sides of the cargo surface. Roller carriages, which comprise rollers and on which retaining bows, embodied in gantry fashion and having a roof tarpaulin mounted thereon, are displaceably guided. At least one roller carriage is equipped with a securing device for preventing inadvertent shifting of the roller carriage along the rails. The securing device encompasses a wedge element associated with a roller, which element is shiftable between a release position and a secured position. In its release position it has no contact with the roller. In its secured position a portion of the wedge element is between the roller and the corresponding guidance and runner rail.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2010Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: VBG Group Truck Equipment GmbHInventors: Udo Wensing, Hans Boris Hahnen, Frank Neumeyer, Frank Frentzen, Rolf Birkenbach, Joachim Rossbach, Karl Kemmerling, Axel Scholz, Tim Lauterbach, Rolf Weigelt
