Abstract: A method provides a display of vehicle surroundings in a vehicle by detecting the degree of automation at which the vehicle is operated, selecting a set of additional information from one of multiple possible sets of additional information on the basis of the detected degree of automation, wherein each set of additional information includes a different number of pieces of additional information, each piece of additional information describes a display option which visualizes the current state of the vehicle and the corresponding vehicle surroundings, and a set of additional information selected for a low degree of automation includes less additional information than a set of additional information selected for a degree of automation which is higher than the low degree of automation; and displaying a view of the surroundings of the vehicle. The additional information of the selected set of additional information is visualized in the displayed view.

Abstract: A scanner, in which the contents of an film frame (1) are converted into a video signal by opto-electronic converters (4), this video signal being post-processed in a video processing stage (12). The operation of post-processing the video signal may be monitored by an oscilloscope (25). In order that this monitoring can be carried out in a simple manner, a scaling signal is inserted into the video signal before the video processing stage (12) so that the video signal to be monitored and a scaling signal line are simultaneously displayed on the screen of, for example, the oscilloscope (25).

Abstract: A useful current component of an electro-optical coupling element is increased by providing a synthetic resin coupling medium having an adhered unitary encapsuling mass composed of the identical synthetic resin forming the coupling medium and containing therein a radiation reflecting material, such as titanium dioxide and a radiation impermeable material, such as aluminum bronze.
