Patent number: 11858436Abstract: A method for predicting immanent damage to a connecting point between two electrical conductors in a motor vehicle electrical system is disclosed, wherein a value of an electrical variable is ascertained that is at least related to an electrical resistance of the connecting point, and wherein the prediction of the immanent damage is made depending on the value of the electric variable. The value of the electrical variable is repeatedly determined while the motor vehicle electrical system is in operation while an operating current of specified operating current strength flows through the connection point.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2019Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: VOLKSWAGEN AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Nima Eslami, Alexander Harms, Daniel Keil

Patent number: 11719305Abstract: A continuously variable damper is disclosed. The damper includes an elongate outer tube and inner tube with a piston in the inner tube. The piston defines a rebound working chamber and compression working chamber. An active rebound valve is in fluid communication with the rebound working chamber through a rebound down tube, and an active compression valve is in fluid communication with the compression working chamber through a compression down tube. An intake compression valve is in fluid communication with the rebound working chamber through the rebound down tube, and an intake rebound valve is in fluid communication with the compression working chamber through the compression down tube. The opposite position of the intake valves balance the active rebound and compression valves to avoid asymmetric/bending loads on the inner tube in the damper.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2019Date of Patent: August 8, 2023Assignee: DRiV Automotive Inc.Inventors: Stefan Deferme, Daniel Keil

Patent number: 10244007Abstract: A system and method for establishing a voice over Internet protocol link to a called party's mobile telephony device utilizes push notifications to activate a communications application on the called party's mobile telephony communications device. When a request to establish a voice over Internet protocol link to a mobile device is received by an incoming proxy server of a voice over Internet protocol service provider, the service provider causes a push notification to be sent to the mobile device. The called party can respond to the push notification in a manner that causes a communications application on the mobile device to be activated. Once the push notification has caused the communications application to activate, the communications application sends a special registration request to an outbound proxy server.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2018Date of Patent: March 26, 2019Assignee: Vonage Business Inc.Inventors: Sushant Singh, Daniel Keil, Mark Loeser, Michael South, Pasquale Villani

Patent number: 9500251Abstract: A shock absorber for a vehicle includes a pressure tube that defines a fluid chamber and a piston disposed within the fluid chamber. The piston divides the fluid chamber into an upper working chamber and a lower working chamber, and defines a compression passage and a rebound passage. A valve disc assembly of the shock absorber engages the piston and controls the flow of fluid between the upper and lower working chambers. The valve disc assembly includes an orifice check disc and an orifice disc. The orifice disc defines a bleed passage between the upper and lower working chambers. The orifice check disc is disposed between the piston and the orifice disc. The orifice check disc closes the bleed passage as the fluid flows in a first direction and opens the bleed passage as the fluid flows in a second direction opposite of the first direction.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2014Date of Patent: November 22, 2016Assignee: Tenneco Automotive Operating Company Inc.Inventors: Chad Rummel, Garl Gordon, Daniel Keil
