20090192703 | Method and device for providing information about points of interest using a navigation system - A method for defining a geographic area in a map detail for use in a navigation device includes: selecting an area shape; positioning the selected area shape on the map detail at a desired position; and performing a function of the navigation device as a function of a geographic area specified by the area shape positioned on the map detail. | 07-30-2009 |
20090259364 | Method for controlling devices, and a device in a communications network in a motor vehicle - A method for managing a plurality of devices interconnected as a communications network in a motor vehicle via one or a plurality of interconnected bus systems is presented, the method including recognizing and generating a device specific control component for newly attached devices. The method includes operating a generic control module to operate upon data stored in a newly attached device to generate the device-specific control component, which is used to control the device. The device-specific control component either can be added to the generic control module or can be stored independently of the generic control module in the respective device. The generic control module is used in a gateway or a system manager of the communications network. A human-machine interface adapts to the device-specific control component. The network is interconnected by a bus system, preferably embodied according to IEEE 1394. | 10-15-2009 |
20100102952 | MACHINE-TOOL SAFETY DEVICE - A machine-tool safety device for a machine tool having a transmitting unit for transmitting an outgoing signal and a receiving unit for receiving an incoming signal. The machine-tool safety device has an adjusting unit for at least semi-automatically adjusting the outgoing signal to be transmitted. | 04-29-2010 |
20100180740 | MACHINE TOOL HAVING A SAFETY UNIT AND A CALIBRATION UNIT FOR CALIBRATING THE SAFETY UNIT - A machine tool having a safety unit. The machine tool also having a calibration unit for calibrating the safety unit. | 07-22-2010 |
20110084885 | Device Safety Apparatus - A device safety apparatus, in particular a hand-held device safety apparatus, having an antenna unit having at least one antenna element, which is provided for the purpose of transmitting and/or receiving a safety signal. The antenna unit has at least one additional component, which in conjunction with the antenna element is provided to specify a safety zone. | 04-14-2011 |
20110106340 | Method of accessing a device in a communication network in a motor vehicle via an external device and gateway - A method of accessing a device in a communications network in a motor vehicle via an external device is described, in which a software element is transmitted to the external device in the case of authorized access to a device in the communications network to permit control of the device in the communications network by the external device. A gateway checks on whether access is possible, either checking directly with the device requested or via the system manager. Security in communication between the external device and the device to be controlled may be achieved by an additional encryption and/or a specified validity period of the software element transcribed to the external device. If there is no software element for a device to be controlled, such a software element may be created by using a control module and data stored in the device. A bus system, according to IEEE 1394, for example, may be used as the communications network. | 05-05-2011 |
