Abstract: A method for determining the rolling radius of a wheel, of a motor vehicle on a road surface, including: projecting a light pattern onto the wheel and road surface; recording a light pattern reflected by the wheel and road surface using an image recording device; determining 3D coordinates of points of the reflected light pattern; identifying points of the reflected light pattern of the wheel; identifying points of the reflected light pattern of the road surface; determining the position of the center of rotation of the wheel from the reflected light pattern points identified as belonging to the wheel; determining the position of the road surface from the reflected light pattern points identified as belonging to the road surface; determining the rolling radius on the contact surface of the wheel as the distance between the center of rotation of the wheel and the position of the road surface.

Abstract: A vehicle measurement system includes a laser projector which is designed to generate suitable laser radiation during the vehicle measurement operation, and a laser protection device which is suitable for protecting people and objects from the laser radiation. The laser projector and the laser protection device are designed as separate components and are combinable to form a laser projector having a laser protection device and are separable from one another again.

Abstract: A method for determining distances for chassis measurement of a vehicle having a body and at least one wheel includes determining a center of rotation of a wheel of the vehicle by projecting a structured light pattern at least onto the wheel, recording a light pattern reflected by the wheel using a calibrated imaging sensor system, determining a 3D point cloud from the reflected light pattern, and determining the center of rotation of the wheel from the 3D point cloud. The method also includes determining a point on the body by evaluating the previously determined 3D point cloud or by evaluating a plurality of grey-scale images recorded under unstructured illumination. A height level is determined as a vertical distance between the center of rotation of the wheel and the point on the body.

Abstract: In a method for controlling a measuring system in a chassis measuring station, the motor vehicle is detected automatically in the measuring station by at least one detection unit and its position is ascertained with respect to at least one measuring device which is controlled on the basis of a signal of the detection unit in that an operating state of the measuring device is activated. The measuring system includes at least two mutually opposite measuring devices, which respectively have one image acquisition unit and one transverse referencing unit, and at least one detection unit, which is a light barrier having at least one transmitter and receiver.

Abstract: A vehicle roof with a roof opening disposed within a fixed roof outer skin of a vehicle and a cover (10) to optionally close and at least partially open the roof opening. To at least partially open the roof opening, the cover can be both tilted out from a closed position at its rear edge and displaced in the driving direction to the rear. The cover has at least one locking lug (12a, 12b) in the region of its leading edge (14) that engages, from below in a closed position of the cover, into a support element that is stiff in a direction perpendicular to the roof outer skin. Additionally, the cover is formed at its rear edge such that engagement from below under the lateral and rear areas of the roof opening does not occur in the closed position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for production of wood material articles with low emissions of chemical compounds. The applied wood is treated with bisulfite before bonding. On using formaldehyde resins in the bonding agent, wood material articles can be produced with the inventive method with extremely low formaldehyde emissions and very bright colours.

Abstract: The invention proposes a method for drying bulk goods, in particular wood fibers and/or wood chips, wherein the bulk goods is continuously dried in a dryer (1), in particular a drum dryer. The vapor-gas mixture flows through the drum dryer (1) in a dryer circuit and is indirectly heated via at least one heat exchanger (4) by a burner waste gas that is heated in at least one burner (5). The drying vapors are supplied to the at least one heat exchanger (4). Upstream, downstream and/or within the at least one heat exchanger (4), at least a partial flow of the drying vapors are branched off to be conducted into the burner (5). The remaining partial flow is conducted to the dryer (1) again. The partial flow of drying vapors to the burner (5) is driven by means of at least one regulable partial vapor fan (10).

Abstract: The invention relates to a roof structure with a roof cutout for a sliding-lifting roof or an outer sliding-lifting roof. A roof cutout seal is provided, which encircles the roof cutout and which seals a roof skin against a sliding-lifting roof or an outer sliding-lifting roof. A roof stop (7) i.e. a strip (7) serving as a drip strip or drip projection is provided in the area of an edge (6) of the roof skin (2) delimiting the roof cutout (5). Under the strip (7), the roof cutout seal (19) has a sealing channel (26) for holding dripping water. The invention also relates to a roof cutout seal (19) for the roof structure.
