Abstract: Various embodiments include an energy cell holding device for a motor vehicle comprising: a contact plate having a cutout and an overhang. The cutout and the overhang fix the energy cell to the contact plate via a casing surface of the energy cell by form fit and/or force fit and/or substance bonding. The cutout and the overhang contact an electrical terminal of the energy cell via the casing surface of the energy cell.

Abstract: An electric motor having a stator and a rotor, with the rotor having at least one permanent magnet and one rotor shaft and with the stator having at least two coils which produce a rotating magnetic field when alternating currents flow through them, by which the rotor can be driven, and wherein the rotor shaft is mounted radially and axially. The rotor (4) is mounted by at least one elastic thrust ring (1a, 1b), with one thrust ring (1a) being arranged axially on one side of the rotor (4).

Abstract: In an electric motor having a stator and a rotor, with the rotor having at least one permanent magnet and one rotor shaft and with the stator having at least two coils which produce a rotating magnetic field, when alternating currents slow through them, by which the rotor can de driven, and the rotor shaft is mounted radially and axially, the invention provides that the rotor (4) is mounted by at least one elastic thrust ring (1a, 1b), with one thrust ring (1a) being arranged axially on one side of the rotor (4).

Abstract: A regulator for heating and air-conditioning appliances in motor vehicles, having a suction fan which is driven by an electrically commutated DC motor and in whose induction air flow a temperature measurement sensor is arranged. A disturbance in motor running which may lead to an incorrect temperature measurement is detected at an early stage by providing measurement means which, in two time intervals, determine measurements that are proportional to the frequency of the motor voltage, and compare these measurements with one another.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for reliably determining the temperature of the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle, in particular for controlling an air-conditioning system in the motor vehicle in which a sensor which detects the temperature of the passenger compartment of a motor vehicle is ventilated by a fan motor. In a method for determining the temperature of the passenger compartment, in which the noise nuisance from the fan motor is eliminated, another motor vehicle device which generates a noise is operated simultaneously with the fan motor.

Abstract: A computer input/output device is disclosed for performing the functions of a telephone. More particularly, an input/output device is disclosed particularly adapted for use with computer communication equipment. The subject device includes a video display connected to a central processor. The central processor is capable of generating and supplying video output to the display. The video output includes the representation of telephone keys. The central processor is also capable of generating output tones respectively corresponding to the telephone keys. An interactive light pen is provided for receiving optical input from the video display and supplying an electrical output to the cental processor. In use, the light pen is placed over the image of particular telephone keys whereby the central procesor will generate an output tone corresponding to that key. In the preferred embodiment of the subject invention, an automatic dial directory is provided to permit the rapid dialing of frequently called numbers.
