Patent EP-2044504-B1 (EP)
Inventor: RUESCHER GITTA
IPC: G06F3/0482
Filed: 2007-07-24
Granted: 2009-12-30
Abstract: At least one additional menu layer can be selected in a menu layer and be displayed on a display unit by means of at least one control element. The additional menu layer selected via the control element is displayed in the display unit as a preview when an object approaches the control element that is equipped with a proximity sensor or when an object touches the control element that is fitted with a tactile sensor. The additional menu layer disappears again when the object, e.g. a person's finger, is removed, and the originally represented menu layer is automatically displayed again. This prevents the control elements from being repeatedly actuated, thus significantly increasing user friendliness and improving customer acceptance.

Abstract: The device has a pressure balancing value extending via a wall of a housing to enable inflow of air from the environment into an inner space (3) and to block the air discharge from the space. An opening is formed in a wall of the housing parallel to the valve and penetrable in two directions, where conductance of the housing is smaller than that of the valve in a penetrable direction and larger than a leakage conductance of the valve in a closing direction. A sealing-profile seals a gap between a door and the body in a groove of the door and extends the opening between the walls of the groove. The sealing profile has an anchor that intervenes in the groove.

Abstract: A transmission system which may comprise a front differential, a rear differential, a centre differential and a disconnect unit having a clutch with plates 88 that are engaged by a ball 96 and cam arrangement 82, 94. The disconnect unit disconnects drive to, for example, rear wheels of a rally car when a handbrake is applied thereby allowing handbrake turns to be executed. The disconnect unit can be operated by hydraulic pressure generated by manual operation of a handbrake lever, so avoiding the need to provide pump-generated hydraulic power. When the disconnect unit disconnects drive to the rear differential, the centre differential is preferably locked by a differential lock comprising a splined positive locking collar (114, fig 5) moved by a fork 122 operated by a hydraulic actuator 125 which receives hydraulic pressure from a second master cylinder (26'). The second master cylinder (26') is connected to a first master cylinder (26) so that the disconnect unit and the differential lock are actuated almost simultaneously.
