A roof module for forming a motor vehicle roof, the roof module having a panel component whose outer surface at least partially forms a roof skin of the vehicle roof, the roof module having at least one environment sensor configured to send and/or receive electromagnetic signals for detecting the vehicle environment. The environment sensor is disposed below the roof skin formed by the panel component, the roof module having a cooler configured to discharge exhaust heat emitted by the environment sensor and/or heat introduced from outside from the environment sensor.

A roof module for a motor vehicle may have a roof skin, a roof frame on a vehicle body and have at least one transverse frame part extending in the transverse roof direction and a longitudinal frame part extending in the longitudinal roof direction on either side of a longitudinal center roof plane, and a roof opening system having a lid element configured to be displaced on guide rails, which are part of the longitudinal frame parts of the roof frame, in the longitudinal roof direction relative to the roof frame, and/or a solid roof element having a transparent see-through portion and being rigidly connected to the roof frame, having a sensor system comprising at least one sensor module which has at least one environmental sensor and is located outside of the roof opening and/or outside of the transparent see-through portions and is covered by a cover element.

Roof module with sensor system for a motor vehicle which travels autonomously or partially autonomously, comprising a roof opening system and/or a fixed roof element

A method for working a first component and a second component comprises the following steps: providing the first component, which comprises a thermally sprayed electrically conductive layer, providing the second component, which has a longitudinally extended strip of copper, which at least in a first region has a thickness transversely to the longitudinal direction of more than 0.1 millimeter, arranging the strip and the layer one on top of the other, so that the first region of the strip and the layer have a contact region in common with one another, emitting a laser beam onto the contact region and forming a welded connection, which connects the strip and the layer to one another.

An apparatus for a heating device for a vehicle comprises a layer stack which, in a stacking direction, has a heating conductor layer, an electrically conductive layer which forms a contact region, wherein a contour in a projection in the stacking direction of the electrically conductive layer is prespecified, in order to prevent a hotspot on the electrically conductive layer, by at least one of a prespecified width of a front side of the electrically conductive layer which faces a central region of the heating conductor layer, a prespecified distance from a joint of the heating conductor layer, and a prespecified curvature of the contour.

Apparatus for a heating device for a vehicle

A heat exchanger and a method of manufacturing a heat exchanger having an internal conduit for conducting a fluid, and a heat dissipating body for dissipating heat of the fluid. The heat dissipating body has a cavity extending in a longitudinal direction. An end piece of the internal conduit extends inside of the cavity and has an orifice facing a bottom surface of the cavity for feeding the fluid into a bottom area of the cavity. An inner shell of the heat dissipating body includes a first portion and a second portion, each portion having at least two ribs transversally displaced in relation to each other. At least one rib of one of the first and the second portion is transversally displaced in relation to each rib of the other of the first and the second portion.
