  • Patent number: 9352657
    Abstract: An electrical and/or hybrid motor vehicle device includes a charging device for the charging of an accumulator device. The charging device includes a first charging unit with a connector element for the charging of the accumulator device, which is provided for energy transfer by means of contacts. The charging device also includes a second charging unit with an energy transfer unit for the charging of the accumulator device, which is provided for a contactless energy transfer. The charging device has a charging electronic system, which is provided at least in part as an integral construction with the first and second charging units.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 16, 2011
    Date of Patent: May 31, 2016
    Assignee: Daimler AG
    Inventors: Karlheinz Baier, Matthias Kronewitter, Thomas Weber
  • Patent number: 9073443
    Abstract: An electric and/or hybrid motor vehicle device includes a charge and/or discharge unit, which has a vehicle-side energy transfer unit for touch-free coupling with at least one corresponding external energy transfer unit for charging and/or discharging at least one battery device. The motor vehicle also includes a motor vehicle level-adjustment unit that is provided to adjust at least two different motor vehicle heights. The adjustment unit is provided to adjust a gap between the at least two energy transfer units to a charge level during a charging and/or discharging process.

  • Patent number: 6705300
    Abstract: In a method for open-loop and closed-loop control of the number and sequence of strokes in the motive process of a reciprocating-piston internal combustion engine, in particular a reciprocating-piston internal combustion engine with direct injection, it being possible, in the case of leaner-than-stoichiometric combustion, for the residual oxygen not yet used for combustion to be used for further working strokes, and a gas exchange occurring only after the residual oxygen in the combustion chamber has been completely burned or the air ratio &lgr; in the combustion chamber has fallen below a lower limiting value &lgr;grenz.
