  • Patent number: 9267599
    Abstract: A motor vehicle parking lock device has at least one locking element for locking a parking lock piston in a positive-fit manner and a release unit having at least one electromagnetic actuator for releasing the parking lock piston. The release unit has a hydraulic and/or pneumatic actuator acting parallel to the electromagnetic actuator and which releases the parking lock piston at least in the event of a failure of the electromagnetic actuator.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7700907
    Abstract: The invention refers to a device for determining the angular position of a compressor stator blade, which is rotatable around its longitudinal axis and arranged in a compressor, with which is associated a measuring surface which rotates synchronously with it. For a reliable, simple and approximately error-free recording of the angular positions, the angular position of the compressor stator blade can be determined via the device in an automated manner. For this purpose, it has at least one mounting unit provided for aligned fastening of the device on the compressor, and at least one measuring and evaluating unit which comprises at least two distance sensors which each record a distance to the measuring surface which is rotatable from the reference position, as a result the angular position of the measuring surface, relative to the reference position depends upon the two recorded distances, is determined by the measuring and evaluating unit.
