Abstract: A gear assembly including: a drive gear adapted to be connected to an output shaft of an electric motor and being rotatable around a transmission axis; a planetary gear assembly including at least one sun gear, two or more planetary gear members rotatably supported on a carrier about respective planetary gear axes and meshing with the at least one sun gear and optionally a ring gear, an input stage connected to the drive gear, and an output stage adapted to be connected to a drive member for rotation of the drive member about the transmission axis; a clutch member adapted for slippingly connecting the ring gear with the carrier or with the drive member; and a brake member adapted for fixedly engaging a part of the planetary gear assembly with a locking part of the gear assembly.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a technology of manufacturing electronic components, especially semiconductor components with an irregular shape. The present disclosure provides an improved alignment method and system which may be used in cases, where features on a top surface of the semiconductor component or device are not sufficient due to process limitations and where a bottom surface might also not show any alignment correlation with the top surface.

Abstract: A transmission arrangement for an electric vehicle. The transmission arrangement includes a differential configured to connect a first electric machine to a first and second wheel via a respective first and second driveshaft. The transmission further includes a coupled epicyclic gear configured to connect a second electric machine to the first drive shaft via the coupled epicyclic gear. The transmission arrangement includes a coupled epicyclic gear using a single planet gear which meshes with two sun gears of different size, which can be compared to instead using a stepped planet gear including two planet gear portions of different size.

Abstract: A coupling device and a coupling mechanism is provided for selectively coupling of an electric drive to a wheel axle of a vehicle. The coupling device includes, but is not limited to an output gear connected to the wheel axle, an input gear connected to the electric motor. A synchronizer is adapted to contactlessly minimize a difference of the input gear's and the output gear's angular velocity below a predefined threshold, and a synchronizing member is adapted to frictionally engage with the input gear and/or with the output gear when the difference in angular velocity of input gear and output gear is below the predefined threshold.

Abstract: A drive unit, more preferably rear drive unit, for an all-wheel drive of a motor vehicle with two drive shafts, of which one drive shaft serves for driving the one wheel and the other drive shaft serves for driving the other wheel of a motor vehicle. Provided is a transmission operationally that is connected to the drive shafts, through which a drive torque acting on the input of the transmission can be divided or is divided into at least two output torques and through which the output torque of the transmission acting on the one drive shaft is reversible or is reversed in its operation direction relative to the output torque of the transmission acting on the other drive shaft.

Abstract: An axle assembly with an input member, a first planetary gear set, a differential assembly, and a second planetary gear set. The first planetary gear set has a first transmission input that is driven by the input member. The differential assembly has a differential carrier and first and second differential output members received in the differential carrier. The second planetary gear set has a planet carrier coupled to the differential carrier for common rotation. A sun gear of the first planetary gear set is non-rotatably coupled to a sun gear of the second planetary gear set.
