Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, a heating device for heating liquids in a reservoir, such as a tank or a container of a vehicle is disclosed. The heating device may have a housing which is resistant to the liquid to be heated and has a tubular outer casing closed at one end by a base part and at the other end by a cover part. The heating element may also include an insert inserted into the outer casing of the housing and at least one surface heating element arranged between the outer casing and the insert. Connecting conductors of the heating element may be routed out of the housing sealed, and at least one surface heating element may cover the inner surface of the outer casing, viewed in the circumferential direction of the outer casing, at least over a partial circumference, with which the outer casing may be in thermal contact, and the insert, or at least parts thereof, may be pretensioned and press the at least one surface heating element against the inner surface of the outer casing at least in partial regions.

A steering wheel cover, having a circumferential length and a transverse width, comprises a plurality of layers that cover each other at least partially in projection. The layers include a lower electrically conductive shielding layer and an upper cover layer, between which are arranged, starting from the shielding layer, an insulation layer and at least one electrically conductive sensor layer. The shielding layer and/or the sensor layer has/have a conductor structure with conductors extending in the length and width directions of the steering wheel cover. The shielding layer and/or the sensor layer is/are electrically connected to connecting conductors of a connecting cable. The electrical connection is formed by a metal foil. The steering wheel cover serves to detect whether a driver's hand is on the steering wheel.
