Patent number: 11588431Abstract: The disclosure relates to a hybrid-electrical drive system for an aircraft having two subsystems that are largely independent of each other. A stator winding of a common electrical machine is assigned to each of the subsystems such that both subsystems may be supplied with electrical energy from the common electrical machine. If a defect occurs in one of the subsystems, the drive system may be configured such that electrical energy from a battery of the non-defective subsystem may be transferred into the defective subsystem by utilizing the two stator winding systems.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2019Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KGInventors: Christian Bachmann, Dominik Bergmann, Holger Markmann

Patent number: 10144398Abstract: In order to achieve a vehicle wheel (10) slip relative to a roadway (12) while braking the vehicle, said slip being as advantageous as possible, the rotational speed (w) of the wheel (10) can be actively reduced by an ABS by means of a braking intervention and passively allowed to accelerate again via the roadway (12) when the brake is released. The slip of the wheel (10) oscillates by an optimal slip value during the ABS regulating process. The aim of the invention is to improve an anti-lock braking system for a vehicle. In the method according to the invention, at least one wheel (10) of the vehicle is supplied with a braking torque (Mb) in order to temporarily reduce a travel speed (v) of the vehicle relative to a rolling surface (12), said braking torque acting against a rotating direction (14) of the wheel (10).Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2012Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: Lucas Automotive GmbHInventors: Dominik Bergmann, Ludger Fiege, Gunter Freitag, Matthias Gerlich, Stefan Grieser-Schmitz, Eugen Lanze, Ries Robison

Patent number: 8970079Abstract: For an object on a bearing mounting having a magnetic bearing providing a magnetic field generally produced by an electromagnet, the bearing is regulated based on a position of the object relative to the bearing. The position of the object is determined by reference to an estimate of the inductance obtained using a least squares method, in which the electrical resistance of the bearing is taken into account. The resistance is subject to variations, for example due to temperature fluctuations; however, the electrical resistance can be estimated by regulating the inductance error, ?{circumflex over (L)}={circumflex over (L)}2,sLS?{circumflex over (L)}1,sLS down to zero, where the resistance adjustment facility may be a low-pass filter and an integration controller.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2011Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Georg Bachmaier, Christian Bachmann, Dominik Bergmann, Tobias Glück, Wolfgang Kemmetmüller, Andreas Kugi
