  • Publication number: 20240191552
    Abstract: It is provided a method for adjusting a vehicle door, at least having the following steps: using at least one presence sensor to test whether at least one body part of a vehicle door user is in a test area, and controlling a collision protection device of the vehicle door on the basis of whether a body part of the vehicle door user is in the test area, wherein the collision protection device is configured to monitor a monitoring area that differs from the test area and is in the area surrounding the vehicle door for possible obstacles using at least one monitoring sensor in order to avoid a collision between the vehicle door to be adjusted and an obstacle.

  • Publication number: 20240140385
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a sensor assembly for a vehicle, comprising: a speed sensor for each vehicle wheel that detects an rpm-dependent and/or rotational-speed-dependent physical variable, which is used to ascertain speed information; a primary control unit, which analyses the speed information to perform first braking functions; and a secondary control unit, which analyses the speed information to perform second braking functions. A control unit is arranged positioned close to each of the vehicle wheels, and is connected to the speed sensor associated with the corresponding wheel and receives a sensor signal and determines the speed information for the corresponding vehicle wheel, the primary control device and a further control device receiving the speed information ascertained for analysis in real time, and the control devices making the speed information ascertained available in the form of first sensor data to a central network over a databus for distribution in the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20200173361
    Abstract: A turbocharger, includes a turbine for expanding a first medium, a compressor for compressing a second medium utilising energy extracted in the turbine during the expansion of the first medium. The turbine housing and a compressor housing are each connected to a bearing housing arranged between the same. The turbine housing, and/or the compressor housing and/or the bearing housing form/s a stator-side assembly and/or receive/s a stator-side assembly, which serves for the lubrication, and/or heat conduction, and/or sealing. The respective stator-side assembly which serves for the lubrication, and/or heat conduction, and/or sealing, is produced by a generative manufacturing method.

  • Patent number: 10085913
    Abstract: The massaging device includes electromechanical means, for generating mechanical vibrations, in a housing, electronic means for controlling the electromechanical means, and a power source connected to the electromechanical and electronic means. The electromechanical means includes a cylinder element, in which a core is guided in parallel to a cylinder element axis (Z2), in particular, coaxial with respect to the cylinder element axis (Z2), at least one coil element, the coil axis (Z3) of which is arranged coaxially with respect to the cylinder element, and which encloses the cylinder element, and one impact element arranged at each end of the cylinder element and in the interior thereof, characterized in that the impact elements are formed as end magnets, wherein the ends of the end magnets respectively facing the ends of the core have a magnetic polarity which is identical to the polarity of the respectively facing ends of the core.
