  • Publication number: 20210288542
    Abstract: A stator for an electric machine having slots for receiving conductors used for generating a magnetic field; in the slots, at least two mutually parallel, adjoining conductors being provided, which are electrically insulated from one another by insulation means; the insulations means being formed at least partially by a partition inserted between the conductors. It is an object of the present invention to provide a stator, respectively a method for manufacturing such a stator, which, on the one hand, will make it possible to achieve a high fill factor and, on the other hand, to reliably prevent partial discharges. The objective is achieved by the use and/or characteristics of the partitions being a function of the particular maximum voltage potential between the mutually parallel, adjoining conductors in the slots.

  • Patent number: 9317757
    Abstract: A state of a rear vehicle light is detected. A camera system integrated in a vehicle generates an image of an environment in front of the vehicle. An evaluation unit connected to the camera system detects at least one vehicle contained in the image, defines an image range associated with said vehicle, and divides the image range into sub-ranges comprising at least a left sub-range and a right sub range. A segmentation of the sub-ranges into image segments is performed by way of the evaluation unit on the basis of brightness values of points contained in said sub-ranges. At least one brightest image segment is extracted from each of said sub-ranges, and the extracted image segments are checked for whether they can be associated with a particular vehicle light in an ON state.
