  • Method and safety concept for recognizing defects in a drive system of a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 9947148
    Abstract: A method and associated safety system are provided for the recognition of defects in a drive system of a motor vehicle, having an electronically controllable brake control system and having at least one electronically controlled driving engine, an electronically controllable clutch and/or having an electronically controllable transmission. An electronic braking control device is assigned to the brake control system, which braking control device is connected with an independent monitoring module. The independent monitoring module checks for an occurrence of an implausible braking torque, for detecting a defect in the drive system.
    Type: Grant

  • ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION SWITCHING DEVICE HAVING A SWITCH POSITION INDICATION
    Publication number: 20130270080
    Abstract: An electrical installation switching device includes a housing, a contact lever and a switch position indication, which is formed from a slide which is guided in the housing such that it can move longitudinally between a first indication position and a second indication position. The sliding movement of the slide is coupled to the movement of the contact lever. Latching means are provided on the slide and on the housing to detachably latch the slider to the housing in the first indication position, and thus to prevent inadvertent movement from the first indication position.
