Abstract: A cover system for a vehicle roof has a deployable and retractable first cover with a predefined stiffness and a fixed second cover with a predefined stiffness. The cover system has a cover frame coupled to the two covers. The cover system has a cross strut with a stiffness of predefined configuration. The cross strut is coupled to the cover frame on opposite sides and is disposed between a rear edge of the first cover and a front edge of the second cover. The cover system has a reinforcement assembly having a U-shaped reinforcement frame coupled to the first cover, the reinforcement frame and the stiffnesses of the two covers and the cross strut configured to be mutually adapted such that a movement of the covers in the vertical direction is permitted within a predefined tolerance range.

Abstract: A roof for a motor vehicle, in particular for a passenger car, the roof having a support structure, a roof skin at least partially covering the support structure, roof side beams which are part of a vehicle body, and at least one sensor module having an environment sensor for detecting a vehicle environment. The sensor module may be disposed on the support structure and is for a large part located below a reference roof indentation plane which is in tangential contact with one of the roof side beams and inclined relative to a horizontal plane by a first angle (α) in the transverse direction of the roof and by a second angle (β) in the longitudinal direction of the roof.

Abstract: An arrangement, comprising a heat-emitting resistor, a control device for switching the resistor and a component that is at a potential without direct reference to a drive voltage. The resistor is arranged in spatial proximity to the component, and has a first and a second partial resistor connected in series. The control device includes at least one switching device for switching the heat-emitting resistor. The first partial resistor, the switching device and the second partial resistor are connected in series in the stated order and form a series connection. The first partial resistor and the component form a first partial capacitance and the second resistor and the component form a second partial capacitance. The partial capacitances are formed in such a way that upon the switching of the resistor a current flowing in the first partial capacitance is at least partly taken up by the second partial capacitance, or vice versa.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for operating an electric motor, for example an electric motor for actuating a roof component, in a vehicle. Therein, the electric motor is electrically connected via at least two control lines with a motor control unit. The motor control unit is configured to control the electric motor by means of pulse width modulation. The motor control unit is configured to operate a first one of the two drive lines as an inactive line, and to operate a second one of the two drive lines as an active line during control of the electric motor. A switching module associated with the electric motor is configured to connect a terminal of the pole housing of the electric motor with the drive line which is operated as the inactive line during operation of the electric motor. The invention further relates to an electric motor as well as to a method of operating an electric motor, for example an electric motor for actuating a roof component, in a vehicle.
