A vehicle battery packaging for accommodating a plurality of longitudinal battery cells, wherein the battery cells are arranged in a frame in parallel with respect to their longitudinal axes, and wherein each battery cell has a first end and an opposite second end with respect to the longitudinal axis, the battery packaging including: a conductor plate adapted to electrically couple to the second ends of the battery cells; a cooling plate thermally coupled to the conductor plate; and a gap filler layer sandwiched between the conductor plate and the cooling plate.

Vehicle battery packaging

A system includes an in-vehicle system containing vehicle data, a mobile device, and an interface configured to connect the mobile device to the in-vehicle system. The mobile device is configured to access the vehicle data through the interface and post the vehicle data to a user network. The mobile device is able to be mounted within the vehicle by a docking mechanism.

Method to transmit real-time in-vehicle information to an internet service

A navigation system for a motor vehicle includes: an off-board navigation system spatially separated from the motor vehicle, for calculating a suggested route for the motor vehicle; a wireless communication connection between the off-board navigation system and the motor vehicle, for transmitting the suggested route to the motor vehicle; and a man-machine interface arranged in the motor vehicle, for outputting the suggested route to an operator of the motor vehicle.

Navigation system for a motor vehicle

A motor vehicle includes an input device for the input of a search criterion or a search term, a first interface for the exchange of data with a first offboard data memory, a second interface for the exchange of data with a second offboard data memory, and a computing device for the automatic search for information corresponding to the search criterion or the search term in the first onboard data memory and in the second onboard data memory.

Input device and interfaces for motor vehicle

A navigation arrangement for a motor vehicle includes a first motor vehicle having a navigation system for ascertaining a suggested route for the first motor vehicle and at least one second motor vehicle having a navigation system for ascertaining a suggested route for the second motor vehicle, and an Internet connection being provided between the first motor vehicle and the second motor vehicle for transmitting information concerning the navigation system of the first motor vehicle from the first motor vehicle to the second motor vehicle.

In a navigation system for a motor vehicle, the navigation system includes an off-board navigation system that is spatially separate from the motor vehicle, a wireless communication connection between the off-board navigation system and the motor vehicle to transmit a suggested route for the motor vehicle and/or a map display of the environment of the motor vehicle from the off-board navigation system to the motor vehicle, and a man-machine interface arranged in the motor vehicle, to output the suggested route or the map display to an operator of the motor vehicle, in connection or together with an item of additional information, the provision of the additional information being accessible to a third party.

Navigation system for a motor vehicle, method for operating a navigation system and motor vehicle including a navigation system

A navigation system for a motor vehicle includes: a motor vehicle, a server which is spatially separate from the motor vehicle, and a wireless communication connection between the server and the motor vehicle for the time-staggered transmission of a first navigation information item and at least a second navigation information item from the server to the motor vehicle, the first navigation information item being assigned a first priority and the second navigation information item being assigned a second priority, the sequence of the transmission of the first navigation information item and the second navigation information item being a function of the priority level, and a man-machine interface being arranged in the motor vehicle for outputting the first navigation information item and the second navigation information item to an operator of the motor vehicle.

An input device, especially for a vehicle, includes a first display for optical display of information, at least a second display arranged above the first display for optical display of information and a touchscreen arranged above the second display for entry of commands by touching an operating surface of the touchscreen.

Touch sensitive input device having first and second display layers

A navigation system is for a motor vehicle. The navigation system includes a motor vehicle, an isolated, immobile memory node for storing navigation data, a wireless communication connections between the isolated, immobile memory node and the motor vehicle for transmitting the navigation data from the isolated, immobile memory node to the motor vehicle and a man-machine interface arranged in the motor vehicle for outputting the navigation data to an operator of the motor vehicle.

A motor vehicle has an exterior coating. A fluorescing and/or phosphorescing substance is added to the exterior coating or forms a part of the exterior coating. The fluorescing and/or phosphorescing substance serves to emit light, in particular red, green and/or blue light, in a visible range upon irradiation by light in an invisible range.

Motor vehicle

A display device for a vehicle includes a transparent window with a light emission layer intended to separate the interior of the vehicle for emitting visible light when light is beamed onto the light emission layer, a light source for beaming light onto the window, a reflector mounted in a light path between the light source and the window to reflect the light generated by the light source and an adjustable image generator located between the light source and the reflector.

Display device for a vehicle

A seat control unit for adjusting a vehicle seat includes a touch sensor having a touch-sensitive fabric. The touch-sensitive fabric is disposed on a support layer which may be formed by a vehicle interior component such as the vehicle seat, an interior door panel or an armrest. The touch sensor generates signals in response to a force exerted on the touch-sensitive fabric. A control circuit is connected the touch sensor and receives the signals generated by the touch sensor. The control circuit determines a position of the force exerted on the touch-sensitive fabric and generates control signals for controlling the vehicle seat in dependence on the position of the force exerted on the touch-sensitive fabric.
