  • Publication number: 20240110427
    Abstract: Described is an actuating mechanism for actuating a cover of a vehicle. The cover is reversibly movable between a closed position where the cover is arranged flush with a vehicle outer shell and an open position where the cover is arranged at least partially or regionally behind the vehicle outer shell. The actuating mechanism comprises a movement mechanism operatively connected to the rear side of the cover. In order to transition the cover from the closed position into the open position proceeding from the closed position of the cover, the movement mechanism moves the cover initially into an intermediate position in a rotational and translational movement in which intermediate position the cover is pivoted relative to the closed position of the cover about a first axis of rotation and is at least partially or regionally offset in comparison to the closed position backwards towards the interior of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20220270149
    Abstract: A connector configurator includes a connector configuration system and a customer connected to the connector configuration system. The connector configuration system has a configuration processor and a configurator module executable by the configuration processor. The customer has a display. The customer accesses the configurator module to receive a plurality of interface data displayed on the display. The customer transmits selections of the interface data to the connector configuration system to create a configured connector using the configurator module. The configurator module displays the configured connector on the display based on the transmitted selections of the interface data.

  • Publication number: 20120255827
    Abstract: In a motor vehicle having a radiator for cooling a cooling medium and a fan driven by a driveshaft of an internal combustion engine, the fan being arranged between the radiator and the internal combustion engine, a drive system for the fan has a viscous coupling and a vibration damper, which includes an elastic element and which dampens and/or decouples the vibrations between the driveshaft-side output of the internal combustion engine and the fan. The viscous coupling and the vibration damper are arranged between the internal combustion engine and the fan, wherein the vibration damper is arranged between the fan and the viscous coupling and dampens and/or decouples vibrations acting between the fan and the viscous coupling.

  • Patent number: 8246396
    Abstract: A protective cover for an electrical connector for contacting a circuit carrier is disclosed, wherein the electrical connector includes an electrically insulating housing and at least one contact having a contact portion for contacting a mating contact and a connecting portion for contacting a plated through hole of the circuit carrier via an electrically conductive press-in connection. The protective cover has at least one opening through which the connecting portion of the at least one contact enters in the assembled state and is configured in such a way that, in cooperation with the contact and/or the electrically insulating housing, the protective cover covers an intake region of the plated through hole toward the outside.

  • Patent number: 7499560
    Abstract: To assist in the standardization of communication protocols and individual register models of various hearing devices, the register in the DSP/ASIC of a hearing device has a standardized interface in the DSP/ASIC. An application-specific, universal, generic command set that is transferred via the communication interface can be used therewith. Thus command set can be standardized over hearing device families, IC generations and across manufacturers, such that a universal software for adaptation of hearing devices can be achieved.

  • Patent number: 7055877
    Abstract: Protection device for a motor vehicle interior includes a flexible flat article that is movably mounted between a compact, deposited rest position and at least one extracted protection position through the use of a guidance device. The guidance device is designed so that the flat article can be moved between a first, roughly horizontally extracted protection position and a second, roughly vertically extracted protection position. The device is generally used in a luggage area of a vehicle.
