  • Publication number: 20230236059
    Abstract: A weighing device for determining a center of gravity of a motor vehicle includes at least two weighing elements where a respective measured value characterizing a weight of the motor vehicle is determinable by each of the at least two weighing elements. The respective measured values are receivable from the at least two weighing elements by a computing device and the center of gravity of the motor vehicle is determinable depending on the respective measured values by the computing device. An alignment of the at least two weighing elements relative to one another is adjustable by a displacement device.

  • Publication number: 20210284062
    Abstract: A vehicle light having at least one luminant and a cable-free interface for controlling the luminant via an integrated control device. The vehicle light includes an additional cable-bound communication and energy supply interface for controlling the luminant via the integrated control device, an energy storage device for supplying energy in the cable-free region, at least one integrated sensor for detecting vehicle states and/or the function of the cable-bound interface, and having an evaluation device for evaluating the data of the at least one sensor and for generating control signals for the control device from this.

  • Patent number: 8647232
    Abstract: In a group transmission device comprising a splitter group transmission unit and at least one active actuating unit for introducing an actuating torque into the splitter group transmission unit, an open- and/or closed-loop control unit is provided for adapting the actuating torque introduced into the splitter group transmission unit to at least one synchronized shifting operation to be executed by means of the splitter group transmission unit without synchronizing ring.

  • Patent number: 8281913
    Abstract: A motor vehicle transmission device is described. The transmission has an actuating unit, used for canceling a tooth-on-tooth position of coupling elements, wherein the actuating unit actuates a transmission brake when the tooth-on-tooth position is detected. The transmission also has a second actuating unit for actuating a disconnect clutch, the second actuating unit actuating the disconnect clutch when the tooth-on-tooth position is detected. The actuating unit for actuating the transmission brake and the second actuating unit for actuating the disconnect clutch are actuated in coordination with one another, in order to cancel the tooth-on-tooth position.

  • Publication number: 20080228431
    Abstract: In a method for estimating a rotational speed curve of a shaft of a transmission of a motor vehicle after a synchronizing element which acts on the shaft has been deactivated the subsequent speed of the shaft, that is the curve of the rotational speed is estimated on the basis of the rotational speed of the shaft at the deactivation time and the rotational speed gradient at the deactivation time, taking into account a characteristic value (F) which is dependent on an activation period needed for the synchronizing element to accelerate the during activation of the synchronizing element, thereby providing for a particularly precise estimation of the rotational speed curve of the shaft.
