  • Patent number: 11345190
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a freewheel hub for a bicycle, comprising a freewheel device which optionally allows relative rotation between a hub sleeve and a driver or couples the hub sleeve and the driver in a torque-transmitting manner. The freewheel device has at least one first clutch ring and at least one second clutch ring, wherein the first clutch ring is coupled or coupleable to the hub sleeve in a torque-transmitting manner, and wherein the second clutch ring is coupleable or coupled to the driver in a torque-transmitting manner, and wherein the first and the second clutch ring are displaceable axially relative to the hub axle between an engaged position and a freewheel position. Provision is made here for at least one magnet arrangement accommodated in apertures in the first clutch ring to keep the clutch rings in the engaged position.

  • Patent number: 10797909
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for transmitting data packets from a transmitting device to a receiving device in a motor vehicle, the data packets being transmitted via a gateway device and, for this purpose, the gateway device receiving the data packets from the transmitting device and forwarding them to the receiving device. The invention provides that the data packets of the transmitting device are each addressed to an IP address and the gateway device in the data packets respectively replaces a first packet part, by which a connection layer of an Ethernet data connection is implemented, with a corresponding packet part of the bus protocol and, in a second packet part, by which a network layer with the IP address is implemented, retains the IP address and forwards the data packets with the IP address located in the second packet part to the receiving device.

  • Publication number: 20120317440
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for handling internal compiler errors encountered during compilation of a computer program without breaking the compilation. Implementations of a computer-implemented compiler system include a compiler driver, configured to compile a computer program according to a set of compiler settings, and a number of compiler components, each corresponding to a portion of the computer program. Each compiler component is configured to detect an internal compiler error during compilation of the component; identify a recovery plan having a recovery target and at least one recovery setting; and direct the driver to continue compiling the computer program according to the recovery plan, such that the compilation recompiles from the recovery target and according to a modified set of compiler settings according to the at least one recovery setting.

  • Publication number: 20110130242
    Abstract: A bicycle multi-speed internal gear hub including a hub axle, a hub shell rotatably mounted about the hub axle, a driver rotatably mounted about the hub axle and at least two gear stages providing at least two gear ratios. Each gear stage includes a planetary gear mechanism having at least one sun gear, a sun gear clutch connecting the sun gear and the hub axle to rotate together, a planet carrier and a ring gear. The at least two gear stages connected in series. One of the at least two gear stages is an overdrive gear stage with a greater speed at a gear stage output then at a gear stage input, the other of the at least two gear stages is an underdrive gear stage with a lower speed at the gear stage output than at the gear stage input. One of the at least two gear stages is coupled to the driver and the other of the at least two gear stages is coupled to the hub shell.

  • Patent number: 6289505
    Abstract: Apparatus, methods and computer program products are disclosed for a high level language compiler that includes a binary re-optimization capability. This re-optimization capability inputs a binary executable and outputs a binary module optimized for a target computer system. The binary module can be linked to create an optimized binary executable. This capability is provided by adding a front end segment to the compiler that reads the binary executable and creates an intermediate representation of the binary executable. This intermediate representation is normalized to remove prior optimization artifacts and to virtualize register usage. The intermediate representation is then optimized for a target computer system resulting in a binary module that can be linked to make a binary executable that is optimized for the target computer.
