Abstract: The invention relates to a construction machine (1) with a machine frame (2), a driver cab (6) with a right and a left door-window unit (12) when viewed in a traveling direction (A) of the construction machine (1), wherein the door-window units (12) are adjustable between a closed and an open position, and with a drive engine (13) and front and rear traveling devices (4, 5). Essentially, the door-window units (12) can be opened in an opposite manner, in particular depending on the side of the machine frame (2) on which the front and rear traveling devices (4, 5) respectively sit flush with the machine frame (2). The invention is particularly relevant for ground compaction machines, in particular rubber-tired rollers. The invention further relates to a method for operating a construction machine (1) and a method for manufacturing a construction machine (1).

Abstract: A door glass assembly for a vehicle, includes a door panel; a fixed wall which is fixedly connected to a top end of the door panel; an upper guide rail which is extended along a top edge of the fixed wall; a lower guide rail which is extended along a bottom edge of the fixed wall; and a door glass which is movable in a horizontal direction with respect to the fixed wall, and is guided to move along the upper guide rail and the lower guide rail in the horizontal direction, wherein the door glass opens and closes a portion of a door opening defined by the door panel and the fixed wall, and an external surface of the door glass is flush with an external surface of the fixed wall when the door glass is in a closed position to close the door opening.

Abstract: A vacuum cleaner that includes a suction motor and a filter assembly. The filter assembly surrounds at least part of the suction motor and has a frame to which a filter medium is attached. The filter medium is spaced from a wall of the frame such that an arcuate passageway is defined between the filter medium and the frame. A part of the air expelled by the suction motor enters a first end of the passageway and moves around the passageway in a clockwise direction. A further part of the air expelled by the suction motor enters a second end of the passageway and moves around the passageway in a counter-clockwise direction. Air within the passageway then passes through the filter medium.

Abstract: A method (600) for exiting a sailing mode of a vehicle (100) is described. The vehicle (100) comprises a clutch unit (103) which is disengaged in order to decouple a driving shaft (102) of the vehicle (100) from a driven shaft (105) of the vehicle (100), when the vehicle (100) is operated in the sailing mode. The method (600) comprises predicting (601) that a trigger for an exit of the sailing mode will occur, and initiating (602) the preparation of the clutch unit (103) for engagement, subject to predicting that a trigger for the exit of the sailing mode will occur. Furthermore, the method (600) comprises detecting (603) a trigger for the exit of the sailing mode, and adapting (604) a shaft speed (230) of the driving shaft (102), subject to detecting a trigger for the exit of the sailing mode. In addition, the method (600) comprises engaging (605) the clutch unit (103), subject to preparing the clutch unit (103) for engagement and subject to adapting the shaft speed (130), in order to exit the sailing mode.

Abstract: A vent assembly is provided for any manner of vehicle or vessel. The vent assembly includes a vent which is operable between selective open positions and a closed position. The vent is rotatable relative to a panel through which the vent is disposed so that the vent can act as a forced air vent or exhaust vent.

Abstract: A vented window assembly is provided for any manner of vehicle or vessel. The window assembly has a unitary piece of glass with an opening defined therein. A vent assembly is mounted in the opening and is sealingly engaged with the glass. The vent assembly includes an operable vent which is selectively positioned between an opened position and a closed position. The vent is rotatable relative to the glass so that the vent can act as a forced air or exhaust vent.
