Danilo LIND has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20250237296
    Abstract: A transmission for an integral differential, the transmission having a fixed housing part, and a first planetary gear set defining an axis of rotation. The first planetary gear set has a planet carrier fixed to the fixed housing part to seal a lubricant chamber spatially delimited by the planet carrier and the fixed housing part, where at least a portion of the lubricant chamber extends around the axis of rotation. The first planetary gear set further includes planetary bearings, the planetary bearings being supplied with lubricant from the lubricant chamber. Moreover, the first planetary gear set includes planet gears, each of the planet gears being rotatably mounted on the planet carrier via at least one respective bearing of the planetary bearings. Additionally, the first planetary gear set includes a sun gear and a ring gear, each meshing with the planet gears.

  • Patent number: 12280725
    Abstract: A contacting device, comprising a U-shaped conductor structure made of an electrically conductive material, and containing a first fastener, a second fastener, and a power rail, and an enclosure encompassing the conductor structure, made of a non-conductive material, wherein the enclosure has a hole at the first fastener, configured to receive a first supply element between the first fastener and the enclosure and thus electrically connect the first supply element to the first fastener, wherein the enclosure has a second hole at the second fastener, configured to receive a second supply element between the second fastener and the enclosure and thus electrically connect the second supply element to the second fastener, wherein the enclosure has a third hole at the power rail, configured to receive a conductor element between the power rail and the enclosure and thus electrically connect the conductor element to the power rail.
