  • Patent number: 11619735
    Abstract: In a method and system for position capture of a vehicle along a driving route, situated on a concrete floor having a reinforcement: the vehicle carries out a reference drive along the driving route, the vehicle records measuring points along the driving route, and each measuring point allocates a signal from the reinforcement to a position on the driving route; a reference profile of the driving route is determined based on the measuring points ascertained during the reference drive; the vehicle drives along the driving route and records further measuring points; a profile segment is determined from the further measuring points; the profile segment is uniquely allocated to a segment of the reference profile, e.g., using a correlation method; a position on the driving route is uniquely allocated to the vehicle with the aid of the profile segment allocated to the reference profile.

  • Publication number: 20220170496
    Abstract: A fastener includes an anchor bolt and a nut. The nut has a nut hole and an internal thread. The anchor bolt has an anchor portion and a threaded rod that has an external thread and that is connected to the anchor portion. The nut is arranged on the threaded rod and the internal thread of the nut threadedly engages the external thread of the threaded rod. The nut has a rearward nut section, a forward nut section, and an outside shoulder for load transfer into the nut which is located between the forward nut section and the rearward nut section and which faces the anchor portion of the anchor bolt. The internal thread of the nut extends at least in the forward nut section and threadedly engages the external thread of the threaded rod at least in the forward nut section.

  • Patent number: 10658952
    Abstract: A drive system includes a power converter and a motor powered from the power converter via supply leads. An electromagnetically actuatable brake is disposed on the motor. The brake is able to be supplied and is therefore controllable from an AC/DC converter, which is powered via lines from a DC/AC converter that is powered and/or controlled by signal electronics of the power converter.

  • Patent number: 8299662
    Abstract: In a converter motor, the converter electronics are integrated into the motor connecting box. The lower part of the motor connecting box is formed in one piece with a housing of the converter motor and at the front end than at the rear end. The edge of the upper part of the motor connecting box is shaped appropriately slantwise, so that the upper side is aligned to be straight. Connecting cables for power current and data communications issue from a stepped gradation in the upper part. The upper part has a plurality of openings for passing through cables which are oriented at an angle of less than 90° to one another and to the motor axis.
