Abstract: A chassis (1) for a motor vehicle has an electrical axle (2) with two electrical machines (4) for respectively driving two wheels (6). The chassis (1) also has a step-down gear mechanism (10, 11) arranged between the respective electrical machine and the associated wheel. Each step-down gear mechanism is connected to the respective wheel by a cardan shaft. The respective rotation axes (5, 5) of the two electrical machines are arranged parallel and next to one another. The chassis enables each wheel to be mounted in a non-rigid manner and permits the overall length of the electrical machines to be varied on account of the arrangement of the rotation axes of the electrical machines.

Abstract: A drive apparatus (1) for a motor vehicle has a hollow portal axle (2) that accommodates two electrical machines (4). Wheels (12) are mounted rotatably at opposite ends of the portal axle (2) and can be driven by the electrical machine (4) associated with the respective wheel. A step-down gear mechanism (8, 9) is arranged between each electrical machine (4) and the respective wheel (12) and a separate connection from the respective wheel to the step-down gear mechanism, permits the wheel to be mounted in a non-rigid manner. The respective step-down gear mechanism (8, 9) is connected to the respective wheel (12) by a cardan shaft (10).

Abstract: An oil supply system for an internal combustion engine includes an oil pump, a heat exchanger, an oil feed line and two oil outlet lines, for conveying the oil from the oil pump through the oil feed line to the heat exchanger and from the latter through the two oil outlet lines. In a system of this type, there is provision for the internal combustion engine to be configured as a piston engine and for the heat exchanger to be configured as a water/oil heat exchanger, and for one oil outlet line to be connected to oil spray nozzles of the piston engine and for the other oil outlet line to be connected to a main oil line of the piston engine. An oil supply system of this type is distinguished by its simple design and functionality, and permits optimum cooling and lubrication of the relevant components of the engine.

Abstract: A scanning unit of a position measuring unit for scanning a scale, the scanning unit including a display unit having a light source. The scanning unit further including a regulating device for controlling an amplitude of an analog scanning signal of the scanning unit, wherein the regulating device triggers the light source to cause a change of an illumination state of the light source, wherein successive changes of the illumination state of the light source contain information regarding the amplitude of the analog scanning signal.
Abstract: The invention includes a toothbrush including a toothbrush handle and a toothbrush head having an end proximal a toothbrush handle, an end distal to the toothbrush handle, a dorsal surface for holding at least one toothbrush bristle, a ventral surface opposite the dorsal surface, first and second sides disposed between the dorsal and ventral surfaces of the toothbrush head, and a plurality of gum cushions disposed on each of the sides of the toothbrush head, where the height of the respective gum cushions tapers from the proximal end of the toothbrush head to the distal end of the toothbrush head.

Abstract: A drill having end-face major surfaces, contiguous faces descending from the major cutting edges and flanks contiguous to the major cutting edges. Center cutting edges are formed by end-face taperings. A chisel cutting edge is between the center cutting edges. Shapes of the cutting edges are disclosed. First ones of the flanks are angled to create an outward apex angle so that the major cutting edges and the center cutting edges run at a constant taper angle.

Abstract: A regulatable coolant pump and a method for regulation of this regulatable coolant pump for internal combustion engines, which is driven by way of a pulley actives a valve slide using an electromagnetically activated piston pump equipped with a return spring in the form of a pressure spring. The pump implements a “pump feed” using many small “partial lifts.” A “leakage volume stream” that flows opposite to the “pumped volume stream” is superimposed on the “pumped volume stream” via the arrangement of circular apertures both in the inlet valve membrane of the working piston and in the outlet valve membrane so that the valve slide can be moved in defined manner and in a very robust and reliable manner, with low drive power via the defined superimposition of these two volume streams.
