  • Patent number: 9291221
    Abstract: A brake dust collector for a motor vehicle for collecting brake dusk of a vehicle wheel brake has a dust collecting device with a filter element arranged in a filter receptacle. The filter element is designed as an exchangeable filter and is arranged exchangeable in a receiving space provided in the filter receptacle. The filter receptacle has a housing opening communicating with the receiving space. Through the housing opening the filter element is inserted into the receiving space and removed from the receiving space. The housing opening is located on a side of the filter receptacle that is facing away from the vehicle wheel brake.

  • Patent number: 8813729
    Abstract: A charge air duct for an internal combustion engine includes a housing with at least one entrance and at least one exit for charge air. A heat exchanger is arranged inside the housing to cool the charge air, a bypass is arranged on the housing to at least partially circumvent the heat exchanger and an actuator is arranged on the housing to influence the charge air flow. The charge air is guided from the entrance to the heat exchanger in a first position of the actuator and from the entrance to the bypass in a second position of the actuator, and the actuator at least partially reduces a cross-section of the charge air in a third position.
