  • Patent number: 11338693
    Abstract: A method is provided for charging a battery-operated vehicle having a chargeable traction energy store and a system for autonomously guiding the vehicle with a charging vehicle having an energy generator and/or an energy store. The method forms at least one electrical coupling between the battery-operated vehicle and the charging vehicle via an autonomous driving manoeuver of the battery-operated vehicle and/or the charging vehicle. A charging of the traction energy store of the battery-operated vehicle occurs via the energy generator and/or the energy store of the charging vehicle during the driving of the paired battery-operated vehicle and charging vehicle.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6360624
    Abstract: A motor vehicle having a driving engine and an automatically shifted transmission, particularly an automatic transmission, includes at least one selector lever used as the operating element. With this selector lever, a driver triggers an electric transmission control device which, as a function of an operating position for the automatically shifted transmission selected on the selector lever and of other operating parameters of the motor vehicle, controls the automatically shifted transmission. By deflecting the selector lever, certain operation positions of the automatically shifted transmission are selected. This selector lever can be moved along at least one shifting channel, for preselecting individual driving positions in the automatic operation, into at least two deflecting directions. The lever automatically returns from the two deflecting positions always into the same starting position.

  • Patent number: 6213914
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for selecting a gear position of an automatic vehicle transmission with at least one forward gear position and a reverse gear position, in the case of which, at defined operating conditions, a shifting operation from the forward gear position into the reverse gear position or vice versa is ignored. The object of avoiding faulty operations when operating an automatic transmission and increasing the driving comfort is achieved in that the shifting operation is carried out up to a defined first speed of the vehicle, in that, in a speed range of the vehicle between the first and a second speed, during the shifting operation, only a neutral gear position is engaged, and in that the shifting operation is ignored above the second speed.
