  • Patent number: 11119113
    Abstract: A rotational speed sensor arrangement is provided that includes a transmitter wheel, which has signal markers that are spaced apart from one another; a sensor with at least two Hall sensor elements that form a differential Hall sensor and that each output a Hall signal as a function of the position and/or motion of the signal markers; and a signal circuit that determines an output signal based on the Hall signal, and defines a rotational position of the transmitter wheel based on the output signal, wherein the signal markers have radially extending tooth elements with two switching flanks, and the switching flanks converge in a switching edge. A drive shaft arrangement, an internal combustion engine, and a motor vehicle are also provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10527172
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes an engine housing and a valve drive with a camshaft, a phase adjuster operatively connected to the camshaft, and an actuator for actuating the phase adjuster. The phase adjuster and the actuator delimit an interior space. A cover surrounds the phase adjuster. An actuator holder is provided for fastening the actuator to the engine housing, wherein the actuator holder is surrounded by the cover. A sealing element is disposed between the phase adjuster and the actuator holder. The sealing element seals the interior space against liquid discharge. A method for assembling an internal combustion engine is also provided.
