Abstract: A drive includes a dynamoelectric rotational machine, an electronic add-on part, and a fan unit arranged axially behind one another. The fan unit generates a cooling air flow and is embodied as a two-zone fan having axial fan elements which define a first zone to generate essentially an axial air flow and include an articulated joint with an elastic region with sufficient restoring force, and radial fan blades which define a second zone that radially adjoins the first zone and generate essentially a radial air flow. Free spaces are provided at least between a housing arrangement and the fan unit and/or between the housing arrangement and a bearing shield of the dynamoelectric rotational machine and/or between the housing arrangement and/or a shaft of the dynamoelectric rotational machine, with the free spaces being acted upon during operation of the fan unit by the cooling air flow and a Venturi effect.

Abstract: A non-dispersive gas analyzer comprising a light source, having light that shines through a measuring cuvette containing a measuring gas to be analyzed onto a non selective detector having a downstream evaluation unit, wherein a multi-component gas analysis is made possible using in a simple manner in that the light source is a flash discharge lamp and the evaluation unit is configured to evaluate the temporal pulse curves of the flash shining onto the detector such that it is possible to take advantage of the property of flash discharge lamps in that the emitted wavelength components vary over the duration of the flash.

Abstract: An aircraft includes a propeller and an electric motor which is constructed in the form of a drive for the propeller. The electric motor includes at least two air gaps that can be used for cooling. The air gaps define an axis of symmetry which corresponds to an axis of rotation of the propeller.

Abstract: A device for grounding electrical components arranged in a chain has a grounding point at ground potential and an actuation device connected to the grounding point for connecting the electrical components to the grounding point. In order to provide such a device, with which a simple, safe, and durable grounding is obtained, the actuation device is constructed as a moving part extending in a longitudinal direction and movable in a longitudinal direction. The moving part has an electrically conducting grounding section connected to the grounding point and an electrically nonconducting insulating section arranged on the end of the moving part facing away from the grounding point.

Abstract: According to the invention, navigational information for a vehicle is displayed intuitively and in an easily comprehensible manner in the form of a virtual pilot vehicle, superimposed on an image of the vehicle environment. The display mode and/or position and/or orientation and/or size of the virtual pilot vehicle are determined for example in accordance with the route information, speed, reference points for a recommended route, position and orientation of the vehicle or the camera that records the vehicle environment.
