  • Patent number: 12151554
    Abstract: A differential for a vehicle. The differential includes a cage, which is rotatable about a first axis of rotation and has a drive interface, a first driven gear, mounted in the cage to be rotatable about the first axis of rotation, a second driven gear, mounted in the cage to be rotatable about the first axis of rotation, a compensating gear, which is mounted in the cage about a second axis of rotation extending perpendicularly to the first axis of rotation and meshes with the first and the second driven gear, a flywheel mass, coupled to the cage and locked against rotation with respect to the first axis of rotation and displaceable in a radial direction perpendicularly to the first axis of rotation, and a clutch, which, as a result of an outward movement of the flywheel mass in the radial direction, is movable into a locking state.

  • Patent number: 10407077
    Abstract: In a method for ascertaining a degree of attentiveness of a vehicle driver during travel with his vehicle, e.g., a motor vehicle, using a sensor of the vehicle, a direction of vision of the vehicle driver toward a region of a surrounding environment visible to the driver is recognized, and the region visible to the vehicle driver is assigned a probability distribution through which, on the basis of the recognized direction of vision of the vehicle driver, a degree of attentiveness of the vehicle driver is ascertained.
