Abstract: An electric machine may be an external rotor motor with a stator and a rotor surrounding the stator. The rotor may be mounted on bearings so as to be rotatable around an axis of rotation relative to the stator, where the mechanical forces transmitted by the bearings of the rotor may be absorbed at least in part by the stator. The stator may have a coil winding for generating a magnetic field, the coil winding being surrounded at least partially by a casting compound. At the output, the mechanical forces of the rotor or the device transmitted by the bearings and taken up by the stator may be introduced into the stator largely via the casting compound. The casting compound thus reduces induced vibrations.

Abstract: A drive system has an electric motor, wherein the electric motor includes a first three-phase stator winding system and a second three-phase stator winding system. The first and the second stator winding system are arranged on the stator in a manner rotated through an electrical phase angle in relation to one another. The drive system includes a frequency converter, wherein the frequency converter has a first bridge circuit arrangement which is designed to generate voltages for the first winding system and a second bridge circuit arrangement which is designed to generate voltages for the second winding system. The first bridge circuit arrangement and the second bridge circuit arrangement are connected in series. A control device is designed to actuate the first bridge circuit arrangement and the second bridge circuit arrangement.

Abstract: A vehicle navigation system helps guide a driver to a destination by enhancing visualization of upcoming intersections. The navigation system stores animation data that depicts the intersection as it will appear to the driver. The animation data may be a sequence of images (e.g., digital camera images) taken at intervals before and after the intersection. The navigation system may show the images in synchronism with the progress of the vehicle to provide an animated display of the intersection for the driver. The animated display aids the driver with following a recommended navigation route to the destination.

Abstract: A vehicle navigation system helps guide a driver to a destination by enhancing visualization of landmarks and upcoming intersections. The navigation system stores resolution independent representations of the landmarks and intersections. The representations allow the navigation system to quickly and efficiently resize and render the landmarks and intersections without distortion and with reduced computational burden. When the vehicle approaches a landmark or intersection, the navigation system may retrieve the representation, mathematically scale the representation, adjust the perspective of the representation, and render a view of the upcoming landmarks and intersection to aid the driver with reaching the destination.
