    摘要: A steering column for a vehicle is disclosed, comprising at least one telescope-like portion and a carrier portion. The telescope-like portion is supported so as to be displaceable inside the carrier portion in the longitudinal direction of the telescope-like portion and has an adjustment device for telescopic adjustment of a length of the steering column by pushing the telescope-like portion in or out with respect to the carrier portion, and a ball bearing device between the telescope-like portion and the carrier portion. A running groove arrangement of the ball bearing device is formed with a linear running groove on the telescope-like portion and on the carrier portion and a plurality of balls are arranged between the running groove of the telescope-like portion and the running groove of the carrier portion. In order to improve rigidity and/or to achieve self-centering and/or to reduce friction between the balls and running grooves, the steering column, the ball bearing device has a plurality of running groove arrangements. The plurality of running groove arrangements are arranged in a state distributed about a longitudinal center axis of the steering column.

    摘要: A control system for use in a motor vehicle and configured to monitor a current driving situation of the motor vehicle on the basis of surrounding data of the motor vehicle acquired from at least one surrounding sensor arranged on the motor vehicle in a current driving situation is disclosed. The control system is configured to determine information relating to a current driving situation of the motor vehicle on the basis of the provided surrounding data, to determine information relating to a current driving situation of the motor vehicle and to determine a component of a future driving maneuver for the motor vehicle on the basis of the information relating to the current driving situation of the motor vehicle. Furthermore, the control system is configured to determine a multiplicity of model trajectories for the motor vehicle on the basis of the determined component of the future driving maneuver for the motor vehicle and to determine from the multiplicity of model trajectories a trajectory for the motor vehicle which the motor vehicle is to follow in the further course of its travel. The control system is also configured to update the information relating to the current driving situation of the motor vehicle and/or the supplied surrounding data and to adapt the trajectory for the motor vehicle on the basis of a target function and on the basis of the updated supplied surrounding data and/or on the basis of the updated information relating to the current driving situation of the motor vehicle.

    摘要: An airbag venting device (10) comprises a housing (24) which includes a first flow orifice (18) facing away from the airbag (12) and a second flow orifice (20) facing the airbag (12). The housing (24) has an axial total length (26), the first flow orifice (18) has a first axial opening length (34) and the second flow orifice (20) has a second axial opening length (34). An adjustable closure element (22) assigned to the housing (24), in an open position, releases at least one of the two flow orifices (18, 20). An actuator device (30) interacts with the closure element (22) to release and/or to close the flow orifice (18, 20), and, in doing so, the axial total length (26) of the housing (24) is less than 3 times the length of the longer axial opening length (34) of the two flow orifices (18, 20).

    摘要: A folding table device (20) for a vehicle seat comprises a table top (22), an articulated arm (24), an articulation (26), an airbag (38) as well as an inflator (42) connected to the airbag (38) by means of which the airbag (38) is inflatable. The table top (22) can be adjusted via the articulation (26) including the articulated arm (24) about a pivot axis (S) from a rest position into a use position and from the use position into the rest position. Further, the airbag (38) and the inflator (42) are attached to the table top (22). Accordingly, the distance (a) of the center of gravity (54) of the inflator (42) from the pivot axis (S) is smaller than the distance (A) of the center of gravity (56) of the folded airbag (38) from the pivot axis (S). In addition, there is provided a vehicle comprising a vehicle seat and a folding table device (20) of this type.

    摘要: A steer-by-wire steering system for a vehicle, with a driver-operable control element for steering angle input, an actuating mechanism for setting a wheel setting angle, and a control unit which is configured, on a basis of a steering angle of the control element and a vehicle speed, to output a map for the setpoint of a position of the actuating mechanism. A wheel setting angle is able to be set by the actuating mechanism depending on a set steering angle and on a vehicle speed. A maximum settable wheel setting angle and/or a maximum settable steering angle is limited depending on the vehicle speed. A method is also described for producing a map for the setpoint of a position of the actuating mechanism, for example of the wheel setting angle, in a steer-by-wire steering system.

    摘要: A control method for automated control of a transverse deviation and/or a steering wheel angle of a motor vehicle by an overall control loop is described. The overall control loop has a first control module, a second control module, and at least one controlled system. The at least one controlled system comprises a front-axle actuator of the motor vehicle and/or a steering wheel of the motor vehicle. A provisional manipulated variable is determined by way of the first control module, wherein the provisional manipulated variable is independent of a speed of the motor vehicle. A final manipulated variable for the at least one controlled system is determined based on the provisional manipulated variable by way of the second control module, wherein the second control module compensates for a speed dependency of the at least one controlled system. A controller and a motor vehicle are also described.
