  • Publication number: 20240360831
    Abstract: A fluid pump for a motor vehicle, having a housing, an impeller for conveying a fluid through a fluid chamber of the housing, an electric motor with a stator inside a stator space of the housing for driving an electric motor rotor coupled to the impeller, and a containment shell which separates a wet space of the fluid pump from a dry space of the fluid pump. The containment shell joined to the stator is arranged at least elastically compressed between two fastened together housing parts and rests against the stator and a pump stage housing portion, and the containment shell braces the stator against the housing and thereby fixes the stator relative to the housing in the longitudinal direction of the fluid pump.

  • Patent number: 12132475
    Abstract: A device for controlling a current controlled switching element includes an output node, a current driver circuit, and detection circuitry. The output node is configured to electrically couple to a control node of the current controlled switching element. The current controlled switching element is configured to change from operating in an off-state to operating in an on-state when a charge supplied to the control node causes a voltage at the control node to be greater than an activation threshold. The current driver circuit configured to output an activation current to the output node in response to a switching signal indicating to change from operating the current controlled switching element from the off-state to the on-state. The detection circuitry is configured to detect, based on the voltage at the control node, when a switching event has occurred while the current driver circuit outputs the activation current.

  • Publication number: 20240350890
    Abstract: The present embodiments relate to generating various predictive overlays over a video of a tennis match. Tracking data of a tennis match can be processed to derive insights into the tennis match. For example, the tracking data can indicate a current state of the match and a likelihood of a ball being returned to various regions of the court. This can be used to create a first overlay that can be added over a video of the tennis match. Further, player rankings based on various categories (e.g., technical, tactical, mental, physical) can be generated to provide insights into skills of each player relative to other ranked players. Additional insights, such as a forecast predicting a likelihood of winning an upcoming match or tournament can also be generated. A player card can be generated using such information to provide various aspects of a player skill onto a single output.
