The present disclosure relates to a turbocharger system (10) for a light or heavy duty vehicle, a maritime vehicle or a construction vehicle. The turbocharger system (10) comprises a turbocharger device (20), an exhaust manifold conduit (40, 40a), a valve (70), a receptacle (30) for compressed gas and a gas compressor (80) for compressing gas. By opening the valve (70) during a predetermined pulse duration time period compressed gas may be provided from the receptacle (30) to the exhaust manifold conduit (40, 40a) for initial compressor spin-up of the turbocharger compressor (21). The present disclosure is further characterized in that the turbocharger system (10) comprises a cooling means (90), configured to decrease the temperature of the compressed gas provided by the gas compressor (80), and a heating means (100, 100a), configured to increase the temperature of the gas pulse generated by opening of the valve (70). By decreasing the temperature of the compressed gas in the receptacle (30) upstream of the valve (70) generating the gas pulse and subsequently heat up the generated air pulse before being provided to the exhaust manifold conduit (40, 40a), the response time of the turbocharger device (20) can be improved.

In a vehicle mounted system for aiding a driver the driver is notified via some alert device located in the vehicle. The alert device is in turn controlled by a processor unit that is fed with input signals from a forward facing sensor. The forward facing sensor can be a camera that can detect a change in traffic ahead of the vehicle such as traffic light shift from red to green. The forward facing sensor can also be a radar adapted to detect movement ahead of the vehicle or even a vehicle- to vehicle communication equipment. When the traffic situation ahead of the vehicle is about to change as determined by the processor unit the driver the processor unit sends out an alert signal.

The present disclosure relates to a hinge arrangement (11) adapted to be located at an end portion (15, 17) of a bonnet (5) of a vehicle (3) and being transitable between a normal state and a deployed state. The hinge arrangement comprises a hinge portion (19), a bracket portion (21) and a deployment guiding element (23). The hinge portion comprises a first member (25), a second member (27) and a hinge pivot axis (A1) providing a hinged connection between the first member and second member. The bracket portion is arranged to be in a fixed position relative to the first member during movement in the hinged connection. Further, the bracket portion is arranged to be translationally displaced as a whole at least in a vertical direction in relation to the first member of the hinge portion during the transition of the hinge arrangement between the normal state and the deployed state, the deployment guiding element being adapted to control the transition, the hinged connection being inactive during the transition. The hinge arrangement further comprises a lift limiter (37, 51) adapted to provide a displacement stop for the deployment guiding element when the hinge arrangement has reached the deployed state.

The present invention relates to an internal air vent (100) for a vehicle, and a method for assembling an internal air vent (100) for a vehicle. The internal air vent (100) comprises a frame (102), at least one back vane (110) being pivotably connected to the frame (102), two front vanes (112; 112a, 112b) being pivotably and slidably connected to the frame (102). The two front vanes (112; 112a, 112b) two front vanes (112; 112a, 112b) form an opening (114) for the air stream. The internal air vent (100) further comprises a link mechanism (120) operatively connecting the two front vanes (112; 112a, 112b) to the at least one back vane (110), wherein the link mechanism (120) is configured to transfer a sliding motion of the two front vanes (112; 112a, 112b) in the first plane to a pivoting motion of the back vane (110), thereby controlling the redirection of the air stream from the at least one back vane (110).

Disclosed herein is a method and system for selecting a subset (Ds) of cloud (3) stored data (D 1 -D n ) related to locations within a road network (1) and sending it to a vehicle (2). A current position of the vehicle (2) is determined. Either, a most probable path (4) of the vehicle (2) is determined as a set of all possible paths ahead of the vehicle (2) that the vehicle (2) is most probable to travel along, and a subset of data (Ds) selected related to a location that is along this most probable path (4), or a respective inverse most probable path (7) up to each respective location (8) related to a respective subset of data (Ds) determined as a respective set of all possible paths leading up to each respective location (8), and it is checked if the current position of the vehicle (2) is included in an inverse most probable path (7), and if included the related subset of data (D S ) selected. The selected subset of data (D S ) is sent to the vehicle (2).

The present disclosure relates to a method performed by an infotainment providing system (1) for providing driving situation based infotainment in a vehicle (2). The infotainment providing system determines a current position (22) of the vehicle. The infotainment providing system furthermore determines from a digital map associated with the vehicle, one or more road attributes (40) of a current or subsequent road segment (41, 42, 43) assumed or known to be ahead of the vehicle. Moreover, the infotainment providing system selects, in consideration of the one or more road attributes, at least a first piece of media content (51) from a media content source (5). The infotainment providing system further provides the at least first piece of media content in the vehicle. The disclosure also relates to an infotainment providing system in accordance with the foregoing, and a vehicle and/or a user device comprising at least a portion of the infotainment providing system.

Provided are a method and an apparatus (1) for continuously establishing a boundary for autonomous driving availability, in a vehicle (2) having autonomous driving capabilities and comprising remote sensors (3) for acquiring vehicle surrounding information (4) and vehicle dynamics sensors (5) for determining vehicle dynamics parameters (6), as well as a vehicle (2) comprising such an apparatus (1). At least one of a positioning arrangement (7) that provides map data with associated information; a route planning arrangement (8) that enables route planning; a vehicle driver monitoring arrangement (9) that provides driver monitoring information (10); and a real time information acquiring arrangement, that acquires at least one of traffic information (11 a) and weather information (11 b). The boundary is calculated based on a planned route and at least one of vehicle surrounding information (4), vehicle dynamics parameters (6), driver monitoring information (10), map data, traffic information (11a) and weather information (11b), for the planned route. Changes in the calculated boundary are output to a human machine interface (13) arranged in the vehicle (2).

A method of creating a hardened steel assembly (1) from at least two parts (2, 3) comprises the consecutive steps of first joining the at least two parts (2, 3) in a cold formed state to form an assembly (1), followed by hardening the joined assembly (1).

A tether anchorage (1) for anchoring a child seat in a vehicle with a tether strap comprises a strap (2). The strap (2) comprises two holes at such a distance from each other that when the strap (2) is folded and when the parts of the strap with the holes meet, the strap (2) forms a loop (3) between the holes.
