  • Publication number: 20230184298
    Abstract: The invention relates to a torque transmission device (1) for the drive train of a motor vehicle, comprising an input element (2) and a cover element (16) which is connected to the input element (2) for conjoint rotation, and comprising an output element (3), wherein: the output element (3) and the input element (2) are rotatable in relation to one another via an energy accumulator device (4) and about a common axis of rotation A; a torque-limiting device (10) is located between the input element (2) and the output element (3); the torque-limiting device (10) is designed to transmit a torque between the input element (2) and the output element (3) up to a limit torque value and, when the limit torque value is exceeded, to transmit a torque at least in part or to transmit no torque at all; the torque-limiting device (10) is connected to the energy accumulator device (4) via a frictional and/or form-fitting connection (8), is connected to the input element (2) via a first frictional connection (9), and is conne

  • Publication number: 20220373333
    Abstract: A device includes a memory configured to store a first position estimate of a first vehicle. The device also includes a receiver configured to receive a second position estimate of a second vehicle. The device further includes a sensor configured to generate sensor data indicating a first relative position estimate of the first vehicle relative to the second vehicle. The device also includes one or more processors configured to determine, based on a comparison of the first position estimate and the second position estimate, a second relative position estimate of the first vehicle relative to the second vehicle. The one or more processors are also configured to determine whether the first position estimate is reliable based at least in part on determining whether the first relative position estimate matches the second relative position estimate.

  • Patent number: 11105205
    Abstract: A rotor shaft adapted to rotate about a rotor axis thereof. The rotor shaft includes a rotor cavity configured concentrically to the rotor axis inside the rotor shaft. The rotor shaft further includes a plurality of cooling bores extending radially outward from the rotor cavity to feed cooling air into an internal cooling system in a blade. Each cooling bore includes a bore inlet portion and a distal bore outlet portion. The respective bore inlet portion ends in a plateau, projecting above the outer circumference contour of the rotor cavity. Thus, cooling bore inlets are shifted to a low stress area and the lifetime of the rotor is improved.

  • Patent number: 8343249
    Abstract: A filter element, a particle filter, a method for marking a filter element, a method for producing a particle filter and the use of a filter element are described. With such methods and filter elements, individual filter elements can be securely adhered in a simple manner to form a filter. An identification means is applied to the end surfaces of each filter element for producing a particle filter, thus enabling the defined orientation of the filter elements for the adhesive process and preventing erroneous adhesion.
