At least one of the tools (12, 13) is resilient relative to the frame (10, 101, 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d, 10e). A tool position sensor (32) is arranged to measure the orientation of the tool (12, 13), and the control unit (15) is arranged to receive a signal from the tool position sensor (32) and to calculate a work depth for said tool (12, 13) based on the signal from the height sensor (31) and based on the signal from the tool position sensor (32).

Abstract: An internal combustion engine arrangement for fastening a first component to a second component includes the first component, the second component and a clamping device for clamping the first and second components together. One of the first and second component includes a recess and the other of the first and second component includes a projection, wherein the recess and projection are configured for being engaged. The clamping device includes a clamping element, which is movably arranged in relation to the first and the second component when in an engaged state. Further, each one of the first and second component includes a flange portion at a distance from the recess and projection, respectively, that the clamping element includes a first and second clamping surface facing each other for effecting an outside of the respective flange portion for clamping the flange portions between the clamping surfaces.

Abstract: A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle powertrain includes an internal combustion engine and an electric vehicle traction motor, an engine lubrication oil pump in fluid communication with a lubrication oil flow circuit for the internal combustion engine, an electric oil pump drive motor drivingly connected to the lubrication oil pump, and a powertrain control module. The powertrain control module is configured to start the electric oil pump drive motor immediately upon the initial start of the vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle structure arrangement includes a pressurizable reinforcement element that may be arranged interiorly a beam, such as an A-pillar to reinforce the beam. The reinforcement element may be a tubular element having a flexible wall portion, The tubular element may be adapted to be self-stiffened when in a pressurized active state. In the pressurized state, the material and dimension of the tubular element wall portion are adapted to withstand actual stresses along longitudinal direction of the wall portion. The reinforcement element may be activated by a pre-crash unit.

Abstract: An air-bag is made from a first metal layer (1) and a second metal layer (30). At least one of these layers is plastically deformable. The layers are provided with a peripheral (2, 3) sealing the layers together to define a chamber. There are gas generating means, such as a gas generator, located within the chamber.

Abstract: A safety device for use in a motor vehicle includes a restraining element in the form of a net (4) initially stored within a housing (3) extending across the entire upper edge of a windscreen (2). Pull cords (5, 6) attached to the edges of the net extend downwardly past guides (7, 8) located adjacent the lower edges of the windscreen to a centrally located drive mechanism (9). Further pull cords (10, 11) extend from positions more towards the central part of the lower edge of the net, and initially extend around the outer periphery of the windscreen being retained by a yieldable mechanism. The pull cords (10, 11) pass guides (14, 15) located adjacent the lower edge of the windscreen (2) and thus to the drive mechanism (9). The drive mechanism applies such a tension to the pull cords (5, 6, 10, 11) that the net is drawn to a position in which it extends tautly across the windscreen (2) in response to an accident situation.

Abstract: A seat for a motor vehicle has a squab (1) and a back (8). The back of the seat is provided with a framework (12) for supporting a guide means or retractor (13) for a safety belt (10) located adjacent the top of the back of the seat. The framework (12) is reinforced to prevent inadvertent forward movement of the top part of the back of the seat by means of an elongate substantially inextensible clement (14), one end of which is secured to an upper part of the framework (12) and the other end of which is secured in position (17). The elongate element is configured so that if the top part of the back (8) of the seat tends to move forwardly a tension is imparted to the inextensible elongate element (14), the elongate element thus acting substantially to prevent forward movement of the upper part of the back (8) of the scat.

Abstract: A safety device for a steering wheel unit. The safety device includes a one-piece metal core having: a rim; a plurality of spokes extending from the rim; a hub structure being disposed such that the spokes extend from the rim to the hub structure; and a mounting structure disposed adjacent the hub structure. The safety device further includes an air-bag assembly having: a gas generator directly connected to the mounting structure; an air-bag adapted to be in gas communication with the gas generator and being directly connected to the mounting structure; and an air-bag cover adapted to cover the air-bag and being directly connected to the mounting structure.

Abstract: A cover for an air-bag installation includes two superimposed layers of polymer material, each layer carrying complementary flanges or fingers, the flanges or fingers of the layers being inter-digitated, leaving no air space between the flanges or fingers.

Abstract: A device for transferring a signal between two end points between which a coiled conductor, contained in a substantially circular cassette, is arranged. At least one of the two end points is movable relative to the other. The cassette consists of two parts, a stationary stator (11) and a turnable rotor (12). On the stator (11) there is arranged a holding element which is under spring force and has a free end which is fixed in the assembled position of the cassette in tensioned state on the rotor (12). The holding element is detachable from the rotor (12) by rotation of the latter, so that, in the operating position of the cassette, it protrudes, in released position, through a space of the cassette, separated from the latter.
