  • Test device for testing a flat module
    Patent number: 9632132
    Abstract: A test device for testing a flat module includes a test station and a cover movable relative to the test station between a test position and a removal position. At least two holding devices are arranged and formed on the cover in such a way that, when the cover moves from its removal position into the test position, they releasably connect to the flat module arranged in the test station in such a way that, when the cover moves from its test position into the removal position, the flat module is held by the at least two holding devices.

  • Method for preventing a stationary vehicle from unintentionally rolling
    Patent number: 7401873
    Abstract: A method for preventing a stationary vehicle from unintentionally rolling away. The transmission is not in a neutral position. By activating a brake, a holding mode is actuated whereby a brake is released, dependent upon the displacement of a clutch, which determines the actual takeover torque of the clutch and the holding mode can be deactivated.

  • Vehicle brake pedal interlock for heavy vehicle neutral to engaged gear shift
    Publication number: 20040173431
    Abstract: A heavy vehicle transmission is provided with an interlock that prevents movement from neutral into an engaged speed ratio if the vehicle is under start from stop conditions. The interlock ensures that the operator does desire to engage a gear prior to effecting the engagement. The method is also incorporated into a control for the transmission. The method and control are most preferably incorporated into a type of automatic transmission which has an automatic clutch that does not require any operator input.
