Abstract: A localization system for a driverless vehicle configured to drive in a driverless manner from a starting point to a destination point includes a set of sensors configured to localize the vehicle indoors and at least one capture device configured to localize the vehicle outdoors. The localization system is configured to provide at least one orientation point at a transition area between outdoors and indoors or vice versa. The localization is also configured to switch from a localization method for localizing the vehicle indoors to a localization method for localizing the vehicle outdoors or vice versa in response to capturing, by the set of sensors and/or the capture device, the at least one orientation point.

Abstract: A gear shifting device is provided, by which an axial shift movement of a shift element into a shift position through interaction of a shift pin with an associated groove-like shift gate that is changeable in an axial direction. The shift element features, on an inner diameter and/or an outer diameter, the associated shift gate, while the respective shift pin is arranged in a radially opposite and displaceable manner on a transmission component adjacent to the shift element. As an alternative, the shift element, on an inner diameter and/or an outer diameter, accommodates the respective shift pin in a radially displaceable manner, whereas the associated shift gate for the respective shift gate is arranged to be radially opposite on a transmission component located adjacent to the shift element. The shift pin is movable through an associated actuator in a radial manner between an initial position and a mesh position in which each shift pin is introduced into the associated shift gate.

Abstract: Torsional vibration damper arrangement in a housing with a drive-side transmission element, an output-side transmission element, and a planetary gear unit arranged there between having a sun gear, an arm supporting a planet gear, and a ring gear with an energy storage and damping element acting at the planetary gear unit. To increase the damping capacity and to accommodate a large energy storage volume and minimize friction effects due to centrifugal accelerations, one of the planetary gear unit members, the sun gear or the arm or the ring gear, can be coupled to the housing via the energy storage and damping element. The energy storage and damping element has a helical compression spring arranged in a circumferential groove in the transmission housing. The groove is spiral-shaped in axial direction of the transmission housing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a torsional vibration absorber, comprising a rotatable support disc and several pendulum masses, which are hinged in an oscillating manner on the support disc in particular and are thereby able to move relative to the support disc along the associated pendulum rails. In order to create a torsional vibration absorber, through which several excitation orders are able to be absorbed with a simultaneously compact structure, the pendulum masses combine at least one pair of pendulum masses, with which the two associated pendulum masses are coupled to each other through at least one intermediate spring element. In addition, the invention relates to a torsional vibration damper, with which at least one aforementioned torsional vibration absorber is applied.

Abstract: A variable mechanical valve control for an internal combustion engine is provided having an underhead camshaft for adjusting a valve stroke and an opening and closing time, making it possible to achieve a very compact transmission gear between the push rod drive and the intake and exhaust valves, to reduce the number of components required for the transmission gear, and to obtain a mechanical, completely variable valve train with an underhead camshaft.
