Patent number: 11916465Abstract: A compensating element having a first and a second assembly, wherein a locking mechanism is provided which can be switched over between a first and a second operating state. In the first operating state, the first assembly is connected fixedly to the second assembly and, in the second operating state, the first and second assemblies are connected to each other via a spring mechanism in such a manner that they are movable relative to each other. The locking mechanism includes an electric motor that can be used to switch over between the first and the second operating state. A locking ring is or is not braced against at least three balls depending on its rotational position with respect to a center axis. The locking ring is connected in terms of rotary drive to the electric motor via a torsion spring which is elastic with respect to the center axis.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Michael Danzberger, Andreas Rueb, Christoph Janssen, Efim Kuhn, Fan Yang, Markus Groganz, Peter Schlegel, Sebastian Siedler, Thomas Dickmann

Patent number: 9310476Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting a distance between a radar system and a reflecting surface. The method comprises the steps of transmitting a frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar signal from the radar system and receiving a reflected FMCW radar signal being the transmitted signal that has been reflected by the reflecting surface. Further, the method comprises the steps of providing a beat signal having a frequency that is equal to the frequency difference between the transmitted signal and the received signal and determining harmonics of the beat signal. The method also comprises the step of using phase shift information of at least one of said harmonics for determining a distance between the radar system and the reflecting surface.Type: GrantFiled: June 17, 2010Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: Nederlandse Organisatie voor toegepast-natuurwetenschappelijk onderzoek TNOInventors: René Prevo, Johannes Antonius Andreas Janssen, Robért Michael Evert van Heijster
