20080202906 | CONTROL KNOB HAVING INTEGRATED FUNCTIONALITY - A control knob for use in a motor vehicle is provided, having a hub for attachment of the control knob to a shaft, a torsion-proof part, a rotatable part, a rotation angle sensor, means for generating rotary haptics, and an electronic system by means of which the components, located in the control knob, can be controlled and the signals of the sensors can be evaluated and via which the control knob can be connected to the on-board electronics of the motor vehicle. | 08-28-2008 |
20080203274 | Solar sensor - Solar sensors are used, e.g., for generating a signal for controlling air conditioning systems in motor vehicles. To accomplish this, it is necessary that the signal is representative of the so-called solar load independent of angle of incidence of sunbeams. For this purpose, the sunbeams striking the solar sensor must be appropriately scattered. This is achieved by applying a layer of hollow microbeads to the interior of the housing of the solar sensor. | 08-28-2008 |
20080204671 | Operating element with freely programmable symbols for a motor vehicle - An operating element with freely programmable symbols is provided for a motor vehicle, having a transparent keycap movably accommodated in a housing, a light source arranged in the operating element, a means for parallelizing the light emitted by the light source, and a programmable display element that can be transilluminated by the parallelized light, wherein the display element is arranged behind the keycap in such a manner that the symbols displayed by the display element are projected onto the keycap, wherein the means for parallelizing the light is designed as a concave mirror, and in that the light source is located between the display means and the concave mirror. | 08-28-2008 |

20110056815 | CAP FOR A DISPLAY OR CONTROL ELEMENT, COMPRISING A LIGHT-PERMEABLE METAL COATING, AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF - The invention relates to a cap ( | 03-10-2011 |
20110266123 | CONTROL ELEMENT CAP AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAID CONTROL ELEMENT CAP - The invention relates to a control element cap. Such control element caps are used, for example, for switches and/or keys in motor vehicles. In the known control element caps, the representation of a symbol is relatively diffuse and thus not always recognizable with a sufficient degree of reliability. Therefore, a control element cap is to be provided in which the sharpness, and thus the clearness of the symbol is improved; this is accomplished by a transparent carrier plate being disposed between a foil and a display, luminous or projection surface. | 11-03-2011 |
