  • Gearshift for a bicycle and bicycle with such a gearshift
    Patent number: 10450031
    Abstract: A gearshift for a bicycle having an electric auxiliary drive including a stepped gear system which is embodied as a hub gear system or derailleur system, and an electromechanical actuator for triggering a gear change of the gear system. The electromechanical actuator has a shift control unit which can be or is connected via a data line to a drive control unit of the auxiliary electric drive, which shift control unit is designed to activate the actuator as a function of at least one state parameter transmitted to the shift control unit by the drive control unit, or as a function of an item of information derived from said state parameter.

  • Sensor arrangement and rolling bearing having such a sensor arrangement
    Patent number: 10302138
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor arrangement on a rotary bearing which has a stationary bearing part and a rotatable bearing part. A primary coil is arranged on the stationary bearing part and is connected to a supply unit in a wired manner. A sensor circuit and a secondary coil supplying said circuit with electrical energy are fitted to the rotatable bearing part. According to the invention, the primary coil and the secondary coil are part of an energy transmission unit which is constructed according to the Qi standard. At least the operating energy for the sensor circuit, preferably also the data for communication between the sensor circuit and the supply unit, are transmitted via the inductive coupling between the primary coil and the secondary coil.
