| 20100188189 | SAFETY SYSTEM FOR CONTROL OF THE ACCESS TO AN OBJECT - A safety system is provided for control of the access to an object with a lock, that can alternatively be locked or unlocked by a mechanical key subsystem and by a remote control key subsystem offers the possibility to intentionally deactivate a remote control key subsystem by using for example the mechanical key subsystem when locking the object. Later, the remote control key subsystem can be reactivated by using the mechanical key subsystem again for unlocking. This way, the use of the remote control key subsystem can be prevented in situations where a theft of a remote control key is more probable than in other situations. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100289670 | MOTOR VEHICLE HAVING A PARKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM - A motor vehicle is equipped with a parking assistance system for monitoring a vehicle environment for the presence of obstructions, a horizontal longitudinal extension of a mobile vehicle part protruding beyond a vehicle body being able to be considered. In order to reliably avoid damage to the mobile vehicle part, a complete pivot area of the mobile vehicle part can be monitored for the presence of an obstruction. Furthermore, a corresponding method is disclosed. | 11-18-2010 |
| 20110082640 | NAVIGATION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR A VEHICLE - A navigation device and a navigation method with a system is provided for obtaining position data about the current position of the vehicle, a data store, which provides navigation data, a route determination system, which uses the position data, the navigation data and destination settings to determine a travel route, an output system for outputting information about the planned travel route and a traffic sign recognition system for detecting traffic signs in the vicinity of the current vehicle position. The route determination system determines an alternative route, if the traffic sign recognition system detects a traffic sign, which prevents travel along the planned route. | 04-07-2011 |
| 20110109276 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETERMINING THE START OF A CHARGING PROCESS FOR AN ENERGY STORAGE DEVICE IN AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE - A method and a device are provided for determining the start of a charging process for an energy storage device in a vehicle, such as an electric vehicle. The method includes, but is not limited to determining at least one first parameter that indicates that a passenger is about to exit the electric vehicle. In addition, a first time t | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110127025 | AIR CONDITIONER FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE - An air conditioner is provided for a motor vehicle, which has a controller and at least thermal conditioning element/thermal conditioner (such as a heater and/or cooler), which is coupled with at least one thermal storage medium arranged inside a passenger cell of the vehicle. The heater and/or cooler can be activated independently of the operating mode of the vehicle transmission, and the controller is designed to regulate the heater or cooler at least taking into account the outside temperature. | 06-02-2011 |
| 20110157705 | SELF-DIMMING MIRROR IN A MOTOR VEHICLE - With a self-dimming mirror of a motor vehicle dimming can be automatically cancelled upon a change of a driving situation of the motor vehicle to increase road safety. | 06-30-2011 |
