Patent number: 9175633Abstract: A motor vehicle has an internal combustion engine and at least one electric motor as a drive motor arranged on a common shaft. The internal combustion engine and/or the electric motor can introduce torque into a transmission downstream in the drivetrain, and a separating clutch is provided between the internal combustion engine and the electric motor. The method increases torque of the electric machine, increasing the rotational speed of the electric machine and setting slip conditions at a clutch of the downstream transmission, engaging the separating clutch to a torque between the reserve torque of the electric motor and the maximum transmissible torque, reducing the transmissible torque of the separating clutch when the rotational speed of the internal combustion engine has reached the ignition rotational speed, ending the slip conditions of the at least one clutch of the downstream transmission, ending the increase of the torque of the electric motor.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2013Date of Patent: November 3, 2015Assignee: Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AktiengesellschaftInventors: Nils Sauvlet, Markus Oel, Joerg-Michael Birkhold

Patent number: 9169674Abstract: A locking device for a cover of a storage compartment in a motor vehicle has at least one bolt element that is displaceable by an actuating handle and, in the locked state, engages in a first storage compartment recess for fixing the cover in a closed position. At least one securing bolt engages in a second storage compartment recess and is actuable via the bolt element so that it only extends out of the second recess if the bolt element already is extended out of the first recess and which thereby secures the cover against undesirably opening in the event of accident-induced accelerations. Increased safety standards can thereby be obtained.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2013Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AktiengesellschaftInventor: Thomas Bruening

Patent number: 9149657Abstract: A measurement system for use in radiation therapy, for example for measuring radiation sources, in particular for a water phantom. The water phantom has a water container and a measurement system, on which at least one holder for a radiation detector is arranged. The holder can be moved within the water container along at least one movement axis, with a control unit being present, which accepts and executes commands for controlling the movement axis. A virtual coordinate system which is aligned to the water surface is defined so that the movement device does not have to be aligned with great complexity. A conversion unit transfers control commands from the virtual coordinate system into the real coordinate system of the movement device so movements of the holder are always parallel and/or perpendicular to the water surface.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2012Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: PTW-Freiburg Physikalisch-Technische Werkstätten Dr. Pychlua GmbHInventor: Edmund Schule

Patent number: 9145024Abstract: A flexible housing is provided for writing implements or for other articles of everyday use, such as bottles, lighters, etc. The housing has at least one separating point to provide a flexible housing that can move independently of the elastic properties of the base material used. The elements of the housing that are separated by the separating point are connected to one another in a form-fitting manner, and the form-fitting region has play. As a result, the housing can move, and the extent of movement is determined by the sum of the selected plays over all separating points. The ability of the housing to move allows an interaction between the housing and the article received by the housing, i.e. a movement of the housing acts on the article received and can produce a desired function (moving a pen refill, producing a flame, ejecting liquid, etc.).Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2012Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignee: Dr. Ing. h.c.
