Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle comprising a windshield wiper system that is provided with at least one elongate support with a preassembled wiper motor, a gear, a driving crank, at least one wiper bearing with a drive shaft for a wiper arm, and a (driving) rod assembly which is hinged to the driving crank and a swiveling lever, said swiveling lever being joined in a torsion-proof manner to the drive shaft. The support is provided with fastening means that are to be mounted on the vehicle body. The aim of the invention is to make it possible to alternatively mount a system that runs in the same direction or in opposite directions. Said aim is achieved by the fact that the fastening means (17, 20, 26; 22) correspond to fastening devices (4, 5, 6; 10) which are embodied on the vehicle body and whose number and position is determined so as to allow both a system running in the same direction and a system running in opposite directions to be mounted.

Abstract: A horizontally sliding door includes a resilient retention system that helps hold a door panel tightly against its seals when the door is closed, and resiliently releases the door panel when an external force displaces the panel beyond its normal path of travel. If the door panel is displaced off its normal path, the resilience of the retention system or simply opening and closing the door automatically returns the panel back to normal operation. The resilient retention system can be installed off the floor, so the system avoids creating a tripping hazard and avoids being damaged by nearby vehicles.

Abstract: As an alternative to a known partition between a passenger compartment and a luggage compartment of a passenger vehicle that is open at the top, a preassembly unit including a transverse member extending over the width of the vehicle and insertable into side receptacles fixedly mounted on the body is proposed. The transverse member is additionally supported via struts on the automotive body. The struts run obliquely downward and outward at an angle of approximately 45° to the transverse member, resulting in a large clearance below the transverse member that can be utilized for loading between the passenger compartment and the luggage compartment.

Abstract: Mobile devices (121, 122, . . . , 12n) are handed off in overlapping cells (181, 182, . . . , 18n) by tracking a velocity (speed and direction) of movement of any number of the mobile devices (121, 122, . . . , 12n). Access points (141, 142, . . . , 14n) are each located in an associated operational cell (181, 182, . . . , 18n) and each operates at a dedicated frequency. The initial signal strengths are measured in advance at predefined locations within a defined space (16) to define signal strengths as location map (42). A nearby initial access point (typically the nearest) and at least two nearby (typically next nearest) access points are assigned for one of the mobile devices (121, 122, . . . , 12n), and the frequencies of each access point identified. A tracking processor (50) periodically scans the frequencies of the nearby access points to determine the location velocity of the mobile device and predict when a handoff will be appropriate. E.g., the actual signal strength measurements between the mobile device and the nearby access points are collected and analyzed to determine a proper time for a handoff of one or more of the nearby access points.

Abstract: The use of two separate ensemble averagers for processing a detected waveform for use in calculating oxygen saturation and a pulse rate. The ensemble averager used for calculating oxygen saturation operates on a signal which has been normalized, while the ensemble averager for the pulse rate calculation operates on a signal which has not been normalized. The metrics chosen for the two paths through the two ensemble averagers can be varied to optimize the ensemble averaging for oxygen saturation or pulse rate calculations.
