Patent number: 11999337Abstract: A pedal emulator for a vehicle is provided comprising a base part for mounting the pedal emulator to a structure of the vehicle. A pedal lever is pivotable around a rotary axis of the base part. A force generation unit exerts a counterforce on the pedal lever by means of at least one coupling element for mechanically coupling the force generation unit with the pedal lever. The counterforce works counter to an actuating force exerted on the pedal lever. The force generation unit and the coupling element are designed and arranged in such a way that a progression of the counterforce along a pedal travel of the pedal lever (6) takes the form of a non-linear progression in a pedal travel-counterforce diagram.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2020Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: Hella GmbH & Co. KGaAInventors: Werner Austermeier, Dennis Mark Burke, Kerim Florian Huge, Andreas Mueller, Ralf Ridder, Claus Viethen

Patent number: 11998684Abstract: The invention provides a dosing system for an inhalation device, comprising a filling chamber (10); a reservoir chamber (31) which supplies liquid (3) to an aerosol generator (301); and a plunger (20) which includes an overflow chamber (25) and which is pivotable about a hinge (50). The filling chamber has an inner wall (12) which is higher on the side adjacent to the hinge than on the opposite side. When the filling chamber is filled with liquid and the plunger is pivoted into the filling chamber, part of the liquid is displaced over the lower side (17) of the inner wall into the reservoir chamber and some or all of the remaining liquid is displaced into the overflow chamber. The invention also provides an inhalation device comprising the dosing system and a method for dosing liquid to the inhalation device.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2018Date of Patent: June 4, 2024Assignee: VECTURA DELIVERY DEVICES LIMITEDInventors: Paul Goodwin, Andreas Mark Meliniotis, Roger William Clarke, Tobias Kolb

Publication number: 20240129835Abstract: A mm wave radio communication mesh network comprises a wireless node apparatus comprising a plurality of wireless modems (103) and a configuration controller (307) arranged to perform a node configuration arranged to configure the wireless modems (103) as access point wireless modems or non-access point wireless modems. The configuration controller (307) determines a set of access point wireless modems that have no connection and control them to scan for access point beacons. It then controls a wireless modem that has detected an access point beacon to connect to the access point wireless modem transmitting the beacon. If the connection is successful, the configuration controller (307) proceeds to configure the wireless modem as a non-access point wireless modem and otherwise it is configured as an access point wireless modem.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Peter Jonathon Legg, Andrea Tassi, Przemyslaw Czerepinski, Raymond Mark McConnell
