Abstract: This invention relates to preparation of an elastomer which contains a dispersion of silica reinforcement by forming a silica reinforcement in situ within an unvulcanized elastomer host, the resulting elastomer/filler composite and tire having component which contains such reinforced elastomer. The invention includes a rubber composition of at least two elastomers wherein one of said elastomers is a pre-formed composite of elastomer/in situ formed silica reinforcement. A tire having a component of such rubber composition, particularly a tire tread, is specifically contemplated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for correction of a signal of at least one sensor, on the basis of which a path curve can be determined, on which the vehicle is moving, with the vehicle having a device by means of which the environment of the vehicle can be identified, and with the correction of the signal of the at least one sensor being carried out in that, at at least one point in time, the object location expected at at least one further point in time of an object which is identified as being stationary is determined on the basis of the vehicle speed and of the signal of the at least one sensor, and in that, at the at least one further point in time, the object location of the object which is identified as being stationary is recorded, with a correction of the signal of the at least one sensor being carried out on the basis of the discrepancy between the expected object location and the recorded object location.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for correction of a signal which is derived from wheel rotation speed signals and represents the vehicle speed, wherein the vehicle has a device by means of which the environment of the vehicle can be identified, and wherein the correction of the signal which is derived from the wheel rotation speeds and represents the vehicle speed is carried out on the basis of the speed at which objects in the environment which are identified as being stationary move relative to the vehicle.

Abstract: A radome for a range warning radar system has metallic structures, such as a manufacturer's symbol or a characteristic structure, formed therein. Surfaces of the characteristic structure are coated with a metallic or metallically glossy layer which is transparent to electromagnetic radiation of the radar system and reflects visible light.

Abstract: A method for determining the visual range improves the visual range measurement adopted as a basis, to the end that the measurement of the visual range can take place using one emitter and using one receiver, which are disposed to be stationary. The method permits the determination of the visual range, even though an obstacle is situated within the field of view. A comparison of a measured backscatter signal with a specimen curve permits the determination of the visual range from the intensity curve obtained, without any need, for this purpose, of further information such as, for example, the direction from which the backscatter signal comes.

Abstract: A method for displaying the impending danger due to speed associated with the driving situation of a vehicle and a display appliance for carrying out the method are described. In accordance with the method, a degree of danger is defined and calculated and displayed to the driver of a vehicle and, in fact, independently of whether the vehicle, as following vehicle, is driving too close to a vehicle in front or other obstacle (distance problem) or is driving too fast in fog (visual range problem). The signals necessary for this purpose are obtained from vehicle environment sensors, for example from a distance warning radar or distance recording radar and an infrared visual range measuring system, and are analyzed, together with vehicle condition signals, by a safety computer.
