  • Patent number: 9726559
    Abstract: The invention relates to a load cell for weight measurement with a load beam which has an overload protection. In order to achieve a cost-effective manufacture, it is provided that the overload protection has a bar, running parallel to the center plane of the load beam, which freely engages in a recess on the movable force application side of the load beam, with the result that there is an upper and a lower air gap between the bar and the force application side. In the case of an overload, the upper or the lower air gap is bridged and the force application side comes to rest against the bar, with the result that no further movement of the force application side relative to the stationary side of the load cell is possible.

  • Patent number: 9726059
    Abstract: An exhaust system includes at least one exhaust gas purification component, at least one exhaust line, at least one connecting device for connecting the exhaust system to an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle and at least one fastening element for additionally fastening the exhaust system to the motor vehicle. The purification component can oscillate at a first resonance frequency range of less than 150 Hz in a fastened state. The purification component can oscillate due to vibrations of the engine at least when the engine is started or switched off. This, in particular, allows ash residues to be removed from a purification component during starting of the motor vehicle, so that maintenance expense for the purification component is reduced and effective operation thereof is possible over the long term. A motor vehicle having an exhaust system and a method for operating the motor vehicle are also provided.

  • Patent number: 9425534
    Abstract: An electrical connector assembly includes a plug connector. The plug connector comprises a connector housing having a flexible leg. The plug connector further comprises a secondary locking device having a jamming portion and a flexible arm, which is in blocking contact with the flexible leg when the plug connector is not mated with a corresponding counter connector. The plug connector thereby allows for direct mating with a corresponding counter connector, whereby the secondary locking device provides connector position assurance (CPA) functionality.

  • Patent number: 9367954
    Abstract: Location-mapped environments that provide panoramic and immersive views of street scenes are augmented with modern data visualization displays, to communicate additional information of interest. Specifically, illumination statistics information is mapped onto building facades in the location-mapped environments. The illumination statistics information can include variations of illumination as a function of time of a day and as a function of the season. The illumination statistics information can also include direct illumination statistics information and indirect illumination statistics information. Further, the illumination statistics can be calculated for any window on a building façade to determine natural lighting through that window. The illumination statistics can be employed, for example, to aid users in selection of real estate properties for rental or purchase.
