  • Patent number: 11378135
    Abstract: Constant velocity joints or homokinetic joints are used for the continuous transmission of rotational movements and torques. They transmit the rotational movement of a driving shaft to a shaft to be driven without changing the speed or torque. The transmission takes place independently of the speed, torque, or the value of a diffraction angle and independently of the speed at which this diffraction angle changes. Constant velocity joints with a diffraction angle of 90° are equipped with specially shaped gear pairs, which are held together by a spring-loaded inner joint. In this joint transmission, a diffraction angle of 90° is achieved while the shafts to be connected to fixedly mounted bevel- and spur gear pairs are connected to each other, so that no spring-loaded inner joint is needed. Therefore, high engine speeds and high torques can be transmitted.

  • Patent number: 10540456
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method the assessing the controllability of a vehicle by a driver in a risky or problematic situation. In order to carry out assessment of the controllability of a vehicle early, the following steps are provided: a. modelling the drive train and the movement dynamics of the vehicle, b. modelling situation conditions and environmental conditions, c. selecting a risky or problematic situation, d. selecting a driver capability type, e. modelling the driver's reaction as a function of the selected driver capability type. f. simulating the dynamic vehicle behaviour in the longitudinal and transverse directions of a planned trajectory on the basis of the drive train model and movement dynamics model for the predefined situation and environmental conditions when the selected risky or problematic situation occurs, g.

  • Patent number: 9131886
    Abstract: An automatic apparatus for obtaining and analyzing a blood sample contains a supply of lancets and test strips, which are located alternately on a carrier band. A lancet or alternatively a test strip may be clamped on a holder, which is mounted so it is movable. The movement controller of the holder comprises a three-dimensional control curve and a guide element, which engages at different depths in the control curve as a function of its relative position. The control curve comprises two guide paths, which run on different parallel planes. The contour of the first guide path determines the movement path of the lancet and the contour of the second guide path determines the movement path of the test strip. The test strip executes a transverse offset perpendicular to the puncture axis of the lancet.
