At least one transport arrangement (56) for required components (58, 60, 62) and workpieces (44, 46) is provided for both production cells (8, 10; 12, 14). A receiving arrangement store (24, 26; 28, 30; 110) with all of the receiving arrangements is assigned to each production cell (8, 10; 12, 14), and a transport arrangement (48, 50; 52, 54; 111) is provided for at least one production cell. The production cells are coupled to one another via a connecting axle (102) having at least one connecting robot (104).

Abstract: A motor component, a motor and a motor vehicle are disclosed. The motor component has a body extending along a rotation axis of the motor, the body being formed by a set of laminations, and an axially extending cavity being provided on the body; and wherein at least one elongated lamination-holding component is provided in the body, and the lamination-holding component is inserted into the axially extending cavity and is coupled to the body inside the axially extending cavity.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to optimizing image cropping. In accordance with some embodiments of the present invention, an image and an indication of an area of interest within the image are obtained. Thereafter, an amount to scale the image is determined based on a size of a container into which the image is to be placed for display. The amount to scale the image is greater for containers of a smaller size to focus on the area of interest within the image than the amount to scale the image for containers of a larger size. The image can be scaled in accordance with the determined amount to scale the image, and thereafter cropped to fit within the boundaries of the container.

Abstract: A method and a device for operating a combustion engine which features an injection of a cooling fluid into a combustion chamber of the combustion engine, in which a knocking risk is determined during a current combustion in the combustion chamber, and an injection of the cooling fluid into the combustion chamber takes place when the knocking risk exceeds a threshold value.

Abstract: In a method for monitoring the functionality of a temperature sensor that can deliver an electrical signal as a function of the measured temperature and is disposed, in particular, in the cooling water circuit of an internal combustion engine, the persistence of the temperature sensor in the high signal range is made possible by a method encompassing the following steps: Characterizing the sensor as possibly faulty if the sensor indicates, upon engine shutdown, at least a maximum value of the cooling fluid temperature; determining a first gradient of the cooling fluid temperature, measured by the possibly faulty sensor, up to a first point in time after engine shutdown, and characterizing the sensor as fault-free if the gradient exceeds a minimum value; determining a second gradient of the cooling fluid temperature, measured by the possibly faulty sensor, between the point in time and a point in time after engine shutdown, and characterizing the sensor as fault-free if the second gradient exceeds a minimum va

Abstract: The invention relates to a winding that is received in a magnet pot. The winding is formed of a wire, in particular baked enamel wire, which is provided with a coating that causes the winding to hold together. In producing the magnet coil, the winding is inserted into the magnet pot and then potted with a low-viscosity potting material.

Abstract: A magnet coil which is disposed in a cup-shaped housing that has stub for carrying magnetic flux to a magnet armature; the positioning of the magnet coil inside this cup-shaped housing is defined by an insulation spray coating, and the magnet coil has contact terminals which protrude to the outside, having been spray-coated with insulation, through the bottom of the cup-shaped housing. The bottom of the cup-shaped housing also has a third opening, which is likewise filled by material and which offers an opportunity, during the spray-coating, of introducing a rodlike part to support the magnet coil.
