Publication number: 20240151043Abstract: A coupling system for mounting a tile to an outer surface of a building is disclosed. In one embodiment, the coupling system includes support tracks arranged and configured to couple the tile to the building. The support tracks may include integrally formed clips for coupling with the tiles. The clips may be arranged and configured to couple to a top portion of a lower tile and a bottom portion of an upper tile. Additionally, and/or alternatively, the coupling system may include a gasket coupled to the support tracks. The gasket may include first and second arms. The support tracks may include integrally formed, first and second inwardly extending legs for receiving the first and second arms, respectively, of the gasket. In use, the coupling system facilitates faster and easier manufacturability and assembly as compared to other known systems thus providing a more cost-effective solution, particularly when used with smaller tiles.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 18, 2024Publication date: May 9, 2024Applicant: Hunter Douglas Inc.Inventors: Christian Lehmann, Xiang Li

Patent number: 11951974Abstract: A drive unit and a drive assembly and a motor vehicle. The drive unit includes a first electric machine and a second electric machine and an output shaft, wherein a rotor of the second electric machine is connected to the output shaft for conjoint rotation. The drive unit further includes a disconnect clutch by which a rotor of the first electric machine can be connected to the output shaft. The drive unit further includes power electronics for controlling at least one of the two electric machines and a flow system for implementing a flow of a coolant, and the drive unit, being a component in the flow system, further includes a heat exchanger by which the coolant can be cooled. The drive unit and the drive assembly constitute equipment that allows control of individual assemblies in an efficient manner and with a low space requirement.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2019Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.

Publication number: 20240067204Abstract: A method for setting up a virtual ad hoc network for transmitting at least one piece of information to a first transportation vehicle as a first network subscriber. The method includes the information being provided based on first data from at least one second network subscriber, and at least one second network subscriber being a second transportation vehicle or an infrastructure component; wherein a motor-vehicle-external, central data processing device receives second data from multiple potential second network subscribers and takes the second data and at least one space-time parameter as a basis for determining the second network subscribers and setting up the virtual ad hoc network with the first transportation vehicle, as the first network subscriber, and the determined second network subscribers, the space-time parameter defining a specific area of relevance that has a predetermined physical and temporal correlation with the current position of the first transportation vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Christian BRUNS, Jakob SPIEGELBERG, Jan SONNENBERG, Bernd LEHMANN, Laura FIEBACK, Marius SPIKA, Tatjana KRUSCHA, Fabian GALETZKA, Benjamin GROß, Jan KEMPA, Christoph KÖNIG, Marvin SCHRÖDER

Publication number: 20240048688Abstract: A video encoder is disclosed that is configured to encode a slice of a current picture into a data stream by partitioning the slice into rows of Coding Tree Units (CTUs), select a CTU dependency offset for the slice out of a plurality of CTU dependency offsets, the CTU dependency offset indicating a minimum CTU offset between consecutive CTU rows to be obeyed by a decoder when decoding CTU rows in parallel, and signal the CTU dependency offset in the data stream. The CTU dependency offset is selected based on a slice type of the slice.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: Valeri GEORGE, Tobia HINZ, Jackie MA, Jens BRANDENBURG, Christian LEHMANN, Adam WIECKOWSKI, Heiko SCHWARZ, Detlev MARPE, Thomas WIEGAND, Thomas SCHIERL
