  • Patent number: 12379470
    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to a sensor unit with rotating housing and spoiler for enhanced airflow. An example device includes one or more sensors configured to sense one or more aspects of an environment surrounding the device. The device also includes a housing that at least partially surrounds the one or more sensors. The housing and the one or more sensors are configured to rotate about a shared axis. The housing includes an inlet configured to act as an air intake for an airflow through the housing. The airflow is configured to cool the one or more sensors while the one or more sensors are operating. Further, the device includes a spoiler positioned on or near the inlet. The spoiler is configured to increase an air pressure near the inlet or promote laminar flow near the inlet in order to promote the airflow through the housing.

  • Patent number: 12281448
    Abstract: A welding unit for welding rails of a track includes a first sub-unit which is displaceable on unit guides in a rail longitudinal direction relative to a second sub-unit by using displacement cylinders. Each sub-unit includes clamping cylinders disposed underneath the unit guides and coupled to clamping jaws for clamping the rails. The two sub-units are connected by the displacement cylinders in that a cylinder body of the respective displacement cylinder is connected to one sub-unit and a piston rod of the respective displacement cylinder is connected to the other sub-unit. Thus, it is not necessary to support the displacement cylinders relative to a transverse beam disposed at the front.
