  • Patent number: 9586590
    Abstract: A control device for a drivetrain of a vehicle, includes a drive engine, a starting element, and a coupling element. The coupling element brakes a secondary side when the control device receives an input signal indicating a switching off of the drive engine. The starting element includes a mass damper torsional damper arrangement with at least one damper mass. The starting element is coupled with the drive engine by a primary side and with the mass damper torsional damper arrangement by a secondary side so as to be fixed with respect to relative rotation, and the coupling element is constructed to brake the secondary side by coupling with the primary side of the starting element and/or by coupling with a reference component that stationary when the vehicle is stationary. This makes it possible to find a better compromise between comfort, responsiveness, economical, and ecological aspects of the drivetrain.

  • Publication number: 20160103315
    Abstract: A vision system of a vehicle includes a camera configured to be disposed at a vehicle so as to have a field of view exterior of the vehicle. The camera includes an imager and a lens. The imager includes a pixelated imaging array having a plurality of photosensing elements. With the camera disposed at the vehicle, the lens has an outer surface that is exposed to an environment exterior of the vehicle, and the outer surface of the lens includes a central portion and a lower portion, with the lower portion below the central portion when the camera is disposed at the vehicle. A water removal element is disposed at the lower portion of the lens. The water removal element is configured to cause a water droplet that collects at the lower portion of the outer surface of the lens to drain from the outer surface of the lens.

  • Publication number: 20150252912
    Abstract: A magnet valve coil unit includes a magnet coil and a circuit board connected thereto, encased by a molding material. An LED on the circuit board signals a switching status of the magnet coil. The LED is surrounded by the molding material at least in part. A light guide element is arranged in contact with the LED such that it directs light radiated from the LED to an external surface of the magnet valve coil unit. The magnet valve coil unit is manufactured by applying a deformable, transparent mass on the LED of a pre-assembled component containing the magnet coil and the circuit board on which the LED is arranged, and placing the pre-assembled component in a tool mold. The light guide element is arranged to be in contact with the transparent mass, and the pre-assembled component is encased with a molding material.

  • Publication number: 20150217693
    Abstract: A trailer backup assist system of a vehicle includes a camera disposed at a vehicle and having a field of view exterior and rearward of the vehicle. An image processor is operable to process image data captured by the camera. With a trailer connected at the rear of the vehicle, the image processor is operable to determine an angle of the trailer relative to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. A user input is operable by a user to select a general direction or zone of travel of the trailer during a reversing maneuver of the vehicle. Responsive to the determined trailer angle and the selected zone of travel, the trailer backup assist system is operable to control the steering of the vehicle to drive the vehicle and trailer rearward such that the trailer travels generally towards a region encompassed by the selected direction or zone of travel.
