  • Patent number: 10611285
    Abstract: A seat adjuster having a fixed part (12), a drive element (26), an output element (22, 24), a clamping body coupling arrangement (16) by means of which a back and forth movement of the drive element (22, 24) out of a neutral position and back into the neutral position is converted into a continued movement of the output element (22, 24) in a uniform direction of rotation, and a releasable locking device for locking the output element (22) in a form-fitting manner on the fixed part (12), characterized in that the locking device is formed by a locking ring (74) which is axially displaceable between a locking position, in which it is non-rotatably coupled to the output element (22), and a release position, and cam surfaces (82, 84) are formed on the locking ring (74) and the drive element (26), which cam surfaces are complementary to one another and translate a rotation of the drive element (26) away from the neutral position into an axial movement of the locking ring (74) into the released position.

  • Publication number: 20180259566
    Abstract: A measurement method is for determining core losses, which serve to produce magnetic circuits for electrical machines. In order to allow an accurate measurement that is as quick as possible, it is proposed that a magnetic coupling is produced between a measuring coil connected in a capacitor and a core to be measured, and the measuring coil is then acted upon by an alternating frequency in order to measure the resonant frequency of the resulting resonant circuit and/or the quality of the resulting resonant circuit as a measure of the core loss.
