| 20080319610 | Method and Device for Avoiding and/or Reducing the Consequences of Collisions Upon Evasion with Respect to Obstacles - A method and a device for assisting a driver of a vehicle to avoid collisions with obstacles are provided, in which method at least one obstacle is detected by way of at least one surroundings sensor, and data of the obstacle are ascertained. On the basis of the data of the obstacle and data of the vehicle, a vehicle deceleration that is favorable for assistance of an evasive operation is ascertained, and the vehicle is correspondingly decelerated. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20090021355 | Driver Assistance System Having a Device for Detecting Special Situations - A driver assistance system includes a position finding system ( | 01-22-2009 |
| 20090038873 | Method And Device For Controlling Automatic Emergency Braking - A method and a device for controlling automatic emergency braking of a motor vehicle to reduce the severity of a collision of a vehicle with an object, the position and/or speed of the object with respect to the host vehicle being determined via an object detection device, and this information being sent to a collision detection device which ascertains whether a collision with an object is imminent and, on detecting a collision, triggers emergency braking and ascertains a collision instant, emergency braking being terminated after the period of time until the determined collision instant has elapsed. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20100280710 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR OPERATING A VEHICLE HAVING AT LEAST ONE DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEM - In a method for operating a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, having at least one driver assistance system, it is provided that the driver has the option of activating the driver assistance system in a critical driving situation, and that the driver assistance system assumes control of the vehicle upon activation without further action on the part of the driver. Furthermore, in a device for operating a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, having at least one driver assistance system, at least one actuation device able to be activated by the driver, which upon activation switches on the driver assistance system to assume control of the vehicle, in particular in critical driving situations. | 11-04-2010 |

| 20090159236 | APPARATUS FOR SHAPING MELTS COMPRISING INORGANIC OXIDES OR MINERALS WITH AN IMPROVED HEATING DEVICE - Fibers, pipes, rods, strips or profiles made of high-melting inorganic oxides or minerals are used in great quantities, for example for reinforcing plastics, ceramics and metals. In order to produce said products, use is made of apparatuses comprising a melt container with an individual orifice, or orifice plate with a multiplicity of orifices, arranged in the base of the melt container. The melt in the melt container has to be kept at as homogeneous as possible an operating temperature above the individual orifice or orifice plate. For this purpose, the melt container is usually heated by a direct through flow of current. This results in high radiation losses to the surroundings and to a correspondingly high need for electric energy. It is proposed, for the heating of the melt, to arrange one or more pipes in the melt container, the pipes having at least one connection to the outside through the container casing, and electric heating elements being inserted into the pipes. This type of heating results in a homogeneous temperature distribution of the melt above the individual orifice or the orifice plate and permits an energy saving of more than 50%. | 06-25-2009 |
