A system for a reliability of objects for a driver assistance or automated driving of a vehicle includes a plurality of sensors that include one or more sensor modalities for providing sensor data for the objects. An electronic tracking unit is configured to receive the sensor data to determine a detection probability (p_D) for each of the plurality of sensors for each of the objects, to determine an existence probability (p_ex) for each of the plurality of sensors for each of the objects, and to provide vectors for each of the objects based on the existence probability (p_ex) for each contributing one of the plurality of sensors for the specific object. The vectors are provided by the electronic tracking unit for display as an object interface on a display device. The vectors are independent from the sensor data from the plurality of sensors.

Redundancy information for object interface for highly and fully automated driving

Redundant environment perception tracking for automated driving systems. One example embodiment provides a surveillance system, the system including a plurality of sensors, a memory, and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to receive, from the plurality of sensors, environmental information of a common field of view, generate, based on the environmental information, a plurality of hypotheses regarding an object within the common field of view, the plurality of hypotheses including at least one set of hypotheses excluding the environmental information from at least one sensor of a first sensor type, determine, based on a subset of the plurality of hypotheses, an object state of the object, wherein the subset includes the at least one set of hypotheses excluding the environmental information from the at least one sensor of the first sensor type, and track the object based on the object state that is determined.

Redundant environment perception tracking for automated driving systems

A system and method for determining if a field calibration of a subject sensor associated with a vehicle is warranted, and calibrating the subject sensor using a sensor associated with another vehicle when calibration is warranted. Reference vehicles may perform predetermined maneuvers in order to provide additional measurements for use during calibration.

Vehicle sensor field calibration utilizing other vehicles

A system and method of sensor validation utilizing a sensor-fusion network. The sensor-fusion network may comprise a number of sensors associated with one or more vehicles having autonomous or partially autonomous driving functions.

Inter-vehicle sensor validation using senso-fusion network

Redundant environment perception tracking for automated driving systems. One example embodiment provides an automated driving system for a vehicle, the system including a plurality of sensors, a memory, and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to receive, from the plurality of sensors, environmental information of a common field of view, generate, based on the environmental information, a plurality of hypotheses regarding an object within the common field of view, the plurality of hypotheses including at least one set of hypotheses excluding the environmental information from at least one sensor of a first sensor type, determine, based on a subset of the plurality of hypotheses, an object state of the object, wherein the subset includes the at least one set of hypotheses excluding the environmental information from the at least one sensor, and perform a vehicular maneuver based on the object state that is determined.

A hand power tool has housing, a motor arranged in the housing and having a drive shaft with two opposite ends, bearings each supporting one of the ends of the drive shaft in at least one component, an insert tool, a drive element through which the drive shaft is operatively connected with the insert tool, at least one of the bearings of the drive shaft being supported on the component over one part of its length in a radial direction through a sliding seat, and also being supported on the component over another part of its length in the radial direction through a synthetic plastic ring.

Hand power tool

An electric hand tool guided with both hands has a tool housing, a stationary handle, and an additional movable handle, the additional handle being turnable about a turning axis and being also displaceable longitudinally substantially along the turning axis.

Electric hand tool guided with two hands

A hand machine tool operated with two hands has a machine housing composed of insulating synthetic plastic shells, a fixed, web-shaped main handle formed as a part of the machine housing, an auxiliary handle, a drive including a motor and a transmission, at least one inner housing accommodating the motor and the transmission and surrounded by the synthetic plastic shells, and a tool driven by the drive. The handles, the machine housing, the inner housing and the tool are arranged so that forces applied to at least one of the handles are withdrawn from the machine housing by transferring the forces by the main handle directly to the inner housing without deforming the machine housing and then transferring the forces from the inner housing to the tool.

A power-operated sword saw comprises a plate-shaped sword having a lower region with a guiding groove, two saw blades reciprocatingly movable in opposite directions parallel to one another and each having a front saw blade tip and an opposite clamping end. The saw blades have a toothed side provided with a plurality of teeth and an opposite saw blade back guided in the guiding groove of the sword. A drive is coupled with the clamping ends of the saw blades through a clamping unit. The saw blades are jointly coupled with the clamping unit and released from the clamping unit by a blocking element which blocks the clamping ends in a coupling position and release the clamping ends in a contact-free manner.

Power-operated sword saw

An electric hand saw has a stationary sword having a lower side, a reciprocatable saw blade received in the lower side of the sword and having a rear end portion, a machine housing having a transmission outlet in which the rear end portion of the saw blade is received. The machine housing has a longitudinal slot located under the rear end portion of the saw blade. A suction passage is mounted on the lower side of the machine housing and has a sucking-in opening extending from the front end side of the suction passage to the longitudinal slot of the machine housing located under the rear end portion of the saw blade.

Electrical hand saw

A motor-driven hand circular saw, has a base plate, a motor, a drive housing surrounding the motor, a saw blade provided with saw teeth and being in operative connection with the motor, a saw blade housing accommodating the saw blade, an upwardly movable saw shaft having the saw blade, a hinge arranged so that the drive housing together with saw blade is movable upwardly and downwardly normal to the saw shaft with respect to the base plate for cutting depth adjustment. The saw blade is movable in and out. A turning hinge having a turning axis extends in a feed direction so that the saw blade housing is connected through the turning hinge with the base plate, and there is at least one upper and lower handle with respect to the base plate. The saw blade housing with the saw blade is located at the left and the drive housing is located at the right as considered in the feed direction. The hinge for cutting depth adjustment is arranged at the front side of the base plate as considered in the feed direction. The upper handle is formed as a pistol-like handle having a free end extending parallel to the feed direction and toward the base plate downwardly.
