  • Patent number: 9435845
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for detecting an arc in a DC circuit. The method includes measuring and analyzing an AC component (IAC) of a current (I) flowing in the circuit and determining at least one parameter of the AC component (IAC). The level of a DC component (IDC) of the current (I) is varied and a degree of correlation between the level of the DC component (IDC) of the current (I) flowing in the DC circuit and the at least one parameter of the AC component (IAC) is determined. An arc is detected and selectively signaled based on the degree of the determined correlation. The disclosure also relates to an apparatus for carrying out the method and to an inverter comprising such an apparatus.

  • Patent number: 8511650
    Abstract: A carburetor assembly includes a carburetor (9) wherein a section of an intake channel (10) is configured. A throttle element and a choke element are pivotally journalled in this intake channel (10). A first coupling element is fixedly connected to the throttle element so as to pivot therewith and a second coupling element is fixedly connected to the choke element so as to pivot therewith. The first and second coupling elements form a blocking arrangement which prevents an engagement of the choke element when the throttle element is not actuated.

  • Patent number: 6318516
    Abstract: The inventive bearing arrangement for a device for activating a vehicle brake has a central threaded spindle (2) which is secured against torsion in a fixed housing (1) and which is arranged in such a way that it can be displaced up to a brake disk (3) of the vehicle and from thereon axially. The inventive arrangement is also provided with an inner ring (5) which concentrically surrounds the threaded spindle (2) together with roll bodies. Said inner ring (5) is coupled with a rotating rotor of an electromotor (7) at the front and is supported with the same in the housing (1) by an axial roller bearing and a radial roller bearing so that it can rotate. According to the invention, the axial roller bearing of the inner ring (5) is made up of a planetary gear with several roll bodies serving as planets. Said roll bodies are situated between the inner ring (5) and a bore wall (8) of the housing (1) which is axial to the inner ring (5). This reduces the friction losses of the axial roller bearing.
