Abstract: A method for actuating an actuator device of a roll stabilizer for a vehicle. The actuator device has a supply line connection for supplying a supply voltage, a converter for supplying an alternating voltage using the supply voltage, and at least two phase lines for supplying the alternating voltage to actuator connections of an actuator which can be operated using the alternating voltage. The method has a step of reading an interruption signal, which indicates an interruption in the supply of the supply voltage or a deviation from the supply voltage at the supply line connection and a step of providing a protection signal at an interface with a protection device using the interruption signal in order to at least partly prevent a generator voltage which is or can be fed into the phase lines via the actuator connections from being forwarded in response to the protection signal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing expandable pelletized material which comprises polylactic acid which comprises the following steps: a) melting and incorporation by mixing of polylactic acid, one or more further polymers, a diepoxide or polyepoxide, and one or more additives, b) incorporation by mixing of an organic blowing agent into the polymer melt by means of a static or dynamic mixer at a temperature of at least 140° C., c) discharging through a die plate with holes, the diameter of which at the exit from the die is at most 1.5 mm, and d) pelletizing the melt comprising blowing agent directly downstream of the die plate, and under water, at a pressure in the range from 1 to 20 bar. The invention further relates to expandable pelletized material which comprises polylactic acid and which is obtainable by said process.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for actuating an actuator unit (102) of a roll stabilizer for a vehicle (100), wherein the actuator unit (102) has a supply line port (118) for supplying a supply voltage, a converter (112) for supplying an alternating voltage using the supply voltage, and at least two phase lines (114, 116) for supplying the alternating voltage to actuator ports (132, 134) of an actuator (110) which can be operated using the alternating voltage, comprises a step for importing an interrupt signal (140), which indicates an interruption (130) in the provision of the supply voltage or a deviation from the supply voltage at the supply line port (118) and a step providing (203) a protection signal (142, 144, 146, 148) in response to the protection signal (142, 144, 146, 148) at an interface having protection equipment (152, 154, 156, 158) using the interrupt signal (140) in order to at least partly prevent a generator voltage from being transmitted, which is fed or can be fed into the phase lines

Abstract: A system architecture for an active chassis system in a motor vehicle has a vehicle electrical system with a first subsystem and a second subsystem. The first subsystem has a first voltage level that is lower than a second voltage level of the second subsystem (14). At least one electric assembly unit for an active chassis element and at least one control device are provided. The electric assembly unit and the control device are supplied with the second voltage level. A vehicle having a system architecture of this kind is also described.

Abstract: A stabilizer (105) for the anti-roll stabilization of a vehicle (100). The stabilizer (105) has a first stabilizer element (110) and a second stabilizer element (115). The first stabilizer element (110) is, or can be, coupled to a first wheel suspension element (120) of the vehicle (100) and the second stabilizer element (115) is, or can be, coupled to a second wheel suspension element (125) of the vehicle (100). Furthermore, the stabilizer (105) is provided with an electric motor (135) designed to rotate the first stabilizer element (110), relative to the second stabilizer element (115) in response to a control signal, so as to decouple the first wheel suspension element (120) from the second wheel suspension element (125). In this case the control signal represents a signal determined on the basis of a field-orientated control system.
