    Abstract: An apparatus and method determines the location of wafer boat plate elements having a plurality of plate elements arranged substantially parallel to each other. At least three sensors are moved along travel paths perpendicular to the plate elements, wherein at least a first travel path is above, at least a second travel path is below the wafer boat and at third travel path is laterally spaced from the first or second travel paths above or below the wafer boat. During this movement the position of the sensors along a respective travel path is determined continuously, and it is determined, in which position a respective plate element enters the measuring area of a sensor and exits the same. A distance between a sensor and an edge of a plate element is measured and the location of a respective plate element is determined by means of the sensor signals.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the prediction and adaptation of movement trajectories of a motor vehicle for assisting the driver in his task of driving and/or for preventing a collision or reducing the consequences of an accident. The present invention further relates to a device for carrying out the method. According to the present invention and in order to carry out a prediction and adaptation of movement trajectories of a motor vehicle, an intersection of situatively required movement trajectories, which are determined using an environment sensor system, and physically possible movement trajectories, which result from properties which are characteristic of the driving dynamics of the motor vehicle and from the coefficient of friction obtained between tyres and road up to a maximum possible threshold coefficient of friction, is formed. According to the invention, only movement trajectories are taken into account which lie within this intersection. In this way, it is ensured that only movement trajectories are taken into account which, on the basis of the forces exerted on the wheels and resulting from the calculated movement trajectories by combining braking forces and/or steering forces, lie below the maximum possible threshold coefficient of friction.
