Abstract: A method for alleviating the consequences of a collision of a vehicle, having a front axle and/or a rear axle with at least one roll stabilization device with which torques can be applied in the region of the front axle and/or the rear axle for the purpose of roll stabilization. In order to alleviate the consequences of collisions of vehicles, in the event of a collision protective torques are generated using the roll stabilization devices.

Abstract: A crash barrier for implementing a collision with a vehicle has a front to be moved toward the vehicle when the collision is implemented. The front side has a predetermined width and a predetermined height. The front side further has a selected surface region that takes up at most a 50% part of a width of the front side. A volume region of the crash barrier behind the surface region has a greater level of rigidity than a surrounding region of the crash barrier. Therefore, in the event of an impact against the vehicle, a greater level of rigidity acts in the selected surface region than in a surrounding region.

Abstract: A control device is provided for uniformly distributing gases and/or liquids between at least two containers with a different internal pressure, such as, fuel containers, crank casings and the like, in particular in internal combustion engines with more than one cylinder bank and a separate intake air feed per bank.

Abstract: A body part of a vehicle includes a structural component and a deformation component. A connecting component is fastened to an end portion of the deformation component. The connecting component has a contact surface configured to come into contact with a mating contact surface of the structural component. A normal spacing is formed between the contact surface and the mating contact surface, and the connecting component is configured to form force-transmitting contact between the contact surface and the mating contact surface in the event of a crash.

Abstract: A charging device for electric vehicles or plug-in hybrids has a housing. At least one printed circuit board with fuses thereon is arranged on the printed circuit board. The printed circuit board, together with the fuses, is arranged in the interior of the housing and is connected to the housing in a force-fitting and/or interlocking manner by at least one fastening element (2). A covering element (1) covers the printed circuit board and the fastening element (2) at least in sections, and insertion or removal of the fuses onto or from the printed circuit board can be carried out only by removing the printed circuit board from the interior of the housing. The covering element (1) has to be damaged at least in sections to remove the printed circuit board.

Abstract: An interferometer includes a light source, a beam splitter, a reference reflector, a measuring reflector, a detection unit, and at least two transparent plane-parallel plates. The beam splitter splits a beam of rays into at least one measuring beam and at least one reference beam. Until being recombined, the measuring beam propagates in a measuring arm, and the reference beam propagates in a reference arm. The reference beam falls at least three times on the reference reflector located in the reference arm. The measuring reflector is disposed in the measuring arm and is joined to an object to be measured, which is movable along a measuring direction relative to the reference reflector. The measuring beam falls at least three times on the measuring reflector. At least one distance signal with regard to the position of the object to be measured is ascertainable from the interfering measuring and reference beams via the detection unit.

Abstract: A fuel removal method is for an internal combustion engine that has a closed- and open-loop control system and a lubricant circuit containing a lubricant. The closed- and open-loop control system has characteristic values for operation of the internal combustion engine. The method includes carrying out a load point shift starting from a first operating point of the internal combustion engine to a second operating point of the internal combustion engine with the aid of the closed- and open-loop control system. The load point shift is carried out when a fuel characteristic value, which characterizes a fuel quantity formed in the lubricant, is greater than or equal to a fuel threshold value. The second operating point having a second scavenging gradient which is greater than a first scavenging gradient of the first operating point.
