Abstract:
A system for information transmission in a motor vehicle and methods of operation are disclosed. A steering wheel, a dashboard with a cover, a dashboard display area with a dashboard display, and a display device arranged in the area of a windshield are provided in a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle. The system is designed for gesture recognition and comprises a gesture recognition unit with at least one gesture recognition sensor. The gesture recognition sensor is configured to detect movements in a perceivable gesture area. The gesture recognition sensor is arranged in the viewing direction of a vehicle driver, behind the steering wheel, under the cover in the dashboard display area. The dashboard display and the display device are designed for the representation of interactive menus.
Abstract:
A system and method for providing real-time, location-dependent entertainment are disclosed herein. The system includes a location receiver to receive a position associated with an object, the object being a moving vehicle; a data receiver to receive location-dependent data based on the position via a data bank; an input receiver to receive an input from an operator in the object; a data transmitter to transmit the received input to a server associated with the data bank. The server is configured to provide receive the input, and process an answer; and a data receiver to receive the answer.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and coating agents used in the method which provide good adherence to and good corrosion protection of metal substrates; the coating coating agents are cross-linkable via radical polymerization. Adhesion promoting compounds are present in the conversion layer in a quantity of about 0.01 to 40 weight percent and contain, on average, one reactive unsaturated group and at least one H-active group per molecule.
Abstract:
This invention relates to colored polymer particles preferably with surface functionality for charge retention, a process for their preparation, the use of these particles for the preparation of an electrophoretic device, color electrophoretic displays comprising such particle, and new water-soluble dyes.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to surface-modified particles which can be dispersed in organic solvents, and to the use thereof for incorporation into polymers, paints and coatings.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the preparation of storage-stable and water-compatible inorganic/organic sols suitable for the surface functionalization of a wide variety of substrates.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to redispersible nanoparticles, to processes for the production thereof, and to the use thereof in formulations, surface coatings, paints and plastics.
Abstract:
Compositions comprising at least one aminoalkylsiloxane and at least one higher alkyl-modified amido aminosiloxane modified by a compound having at least two hydroxyl groups selected from the group consisting of hydroxycarboxylic acids, monosaccharides, disaccharides and mixtures thereof are described along with fabric treatment agents containing such compositions, the use of such compositions and agents for treating fabrics, and containers with such compositions and/or agents.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of statistical copolymers containing at least one structural unit with hydrophobic radicals and at least one structural unit with hydrophilic radicals as dispersants for producing dispersions with an incompatible disperse and continuous phase, in particular, for dispersing particles with a hydrophilic surface in oils, dispersions or powder compositions, containing statistical copolymers and particles with a hydrophilic surface. The invention also relates to methods for producing these statistical copolymers.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of statistical copolymers containing at least one structural unit containing hydrophobic radicals and at least one structural unit containing hydrophilic radicals as emulsifiers, in particular in the synthesis of nanoparticles, and to processes for the production of such particles in which, in a step a), an inverse emulsion comprising one or more water-soluble precursors of the nanoparticies or a melt is prepared with the aid of a statistical copolymer of at least one monomer containing hydrophobic radicals and at least one monomer containing hydrophilic radicals, and, in a step b), particles are produced.
