  • Patent number: 11965596
    Abstract: A parking lock actuation system for a motor vehicle includes an actuation element that can be moved between a locking position, in which a parking lock of the motor vehicle is active, and an unlocking position, in which the parking lock is inactive. The system also includes a locking element which is designed to fix the actuation element in the unlocking position in a form-fitting manner; and an electric actuator which has an adjusting effect on the locking element. A current circuit which has an autonomous power source is connected to the electric actuator, and a bistable switch and a monostable opener arranged in series to the bistable switch are used in the current circuit.

  • Patent number: 8197202
    Abstract: A stator, including a blade assembly with an inner circumferential surface and a plurality of pre-formed grooves in the inner circumferential surface and an outer race with an outer circumferential surface and a plurality of protrusions at least partially engaged with the plurality of pre-formed grooves. The plurality of protrusions is frictionally engaged with the plurality of pre-formed grooves. In one embodiment, the inner circumferential surface includes an area circumferentially disposed between first and second protrusions from the plurality of protrusions and a portion of the area is displaced radially inward by the engagement of the pluralities of grooves and protrusions.
