  • Publication number: 20240178622
    Abstract: A connector for determining a temperature of a contact point includes a connector contact element for electrically contacting the connector with a mating connector contact element of a mating connector at the contact point. The connector includes a connector tap for tapping a connector potential at the connector contact element and a mating connector contact probe for determining a mating connector potential of the mating connector contact element. The connector determines the temperature of the contact point from a potential difference between the connector potential and the mating connector potential.

  • Patent number: 11977556
    Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor and a memory on which is stored machine-readable instructions that when executed by the processor, may cause the processor to receive a request for result data from a requestor and determine queries to create the result data. The processor may determine a subset of a data set based on the queries. The subset of the data set may be displayed in small multiples by the requestor. The processor may output the subset of the data set as the result data to the requestor. In some examples, the processor may receive a request for additional result data from the requestor. The processor may determine a second subset of the data set to be displayed in the small multiples and output the second subset of the data set as the additional result data to the requestor.

  • Publication number: 20240093722
    Abstract: A bush may include an inner tube, an outer tube, and an intermediate tube portion made from a compliant material and arranged radially between the inner tube and the outer tube. A radially outer surface of the inner tube and a radially inner surface of the outer tube may each have at least one protruding rib running in a circumferential direction of the bush. The intermediate tube portion may be shaped complementary to the outer surface of the inner tube and the inner surface of the outer tube, so as to fill a space therebetween. The protruding ribs may be configured to cause externally applied radial or axial forces to propagate as substantially normal stress in the intermediate tube portion.

  • Patent number: 11850907
    Abstract: Disclosed is a wheel carrier for a suspension of a motor vehicle; and a motor vehicle comprising the wheel carrier. In a preferred system, the wheel carrier comprises a first carrier segment configured to carry a wheel of the motor vehicle at a wheel center; and a second carrier segment configured to couple the first carrier segment with a vehicle body of the motor vehicle. The second carrier segment comprises at least one groove, and the first carrier segment comprises for each groove a corresponding sliding pin configured to slidingly engage the respective groove such that the pin slides along the groove under vertical and/or horizontal displacements of the wheel center with respect to the second carrier segment.

  • Publication number: 20220286002
    Abstract: An electrical machine for driving a motor vehicle includes a housing, a stator, which is fixedly accommodated in the housing, and a rotor, which is mounted rotatably relative to the stator. The stator has a laminated core composed of a plurality of punched lamination segments and has a wire winding region connected to the laminated core. Each lamination segment has, on its radial exterior, at least one radial recess also created by means of the punching production. A coolant guide channel is delimited directly by an outer periphery of the laminated core. A recess of a first lamination segment is spaced apart, along the outer periphery, from a recess of a second lamination segment directly abutting the first lamination segment in such a way that the recess of the first lamination segment is at least partly axially covered by an end face of the second lamination segment.

  • Patent number: 11376651
    Abstract: A rolling tool (5) has a basic body (6) for fastening the rolling tool (5) in a rolling machine (1) and a profiled part (7) for the shaping treatment of a workpiece (2) to be rolled. The basic body (6) and the profiled part (7) are of multi-piece design. The basic body (6) and the profiled part (7), in their interconnected position, are mounted movably relative to one another in a plane perpendicular to the rolling direction (23). The basic body (6) of the rolling tool (5) can also be part of the rolling machine (1).

  • Publication number: 20150120024
    Abstract: A system and method of tracking physical activity of a person in order to help motivate that person to add more exercise to their lives. Each participant is provided a motion sensor that detects forces incurred by the participant. The motion sensor creates electronic data that corresponds to the forces detected. The data is analyzed to determine whether or not exercise has been performed. The analysis can also determine the type of exercise performed, when the exercise was performed, and the duration of the exercise performed.
