Publication number: 20180313130Abstract: A drive for a leaf of a door, window, or the like, comprising at least one mechanical energy store, which is charged by an opening movement of the leaf and discharged by a closing movement of the leaf, at least one electric motor, which is operatively connected to the leaf via at least one motor shaft and can be operated as a generator in order to dampen the leaf movements, and a control and/or regulator electronics unit for controlling the electric motor. The control and/or regulator electronics unit comprises means via which the drive behaviour can be variably specified repeatedly by a respective user and/or via which the drive behaviour can be variably adjusted repeatedly in accordance with the behaviour of a respective user.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2018Publication date: November 1, 2018Inventors: Matthias Hucker, Simon Burghard, Dirk Huber, Thomas Schüler, Jörg Evertz, Simon Thomas Hasenfratz, Remo Sommer

Patent number: 8890039Abstract: A method for heating a fluid line system with at least two electric heating elements (R1, R2, R3), which are operated electrically in parallel and each heating element (R1/R2/R3) is separately supplied with a controlled operating current (I1/I2/I3) for adjusting its heating power. Furthermore, the invention relates to a heating system for such a fluid line system (1), in particular for the application of the method according to the present invention. The heating system has heating elements (R1-R3) which are electrically connected in parallel and are each connected to a separate control element (T1, T2, T3). Each heating element (R1/R2/R3) can be controlled via its associated control element (T1, T2, T3) for the individual adjustment of its heating power.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2009Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: VOSS Automotive GmbHInventors: Tobias Etscheid, Olav Borgmeier, Thomas Schüler
