  • Publication number: 20230337352
    Abstract: A printed circuit board (PCB) includes a top side for receiving electrical components, a bottom side for receiving a heat sink, electrically conductive layers, and electrically insulating insulation layers. A main insulation layer is arranged between the top and bottom sides. The main insulation layer completely electrically insulates electrically conductive layers arranged between the main insulation layer and the top side from electrically conductive layers arranged between the main insulation layer and the bottom side. Upper plated through-holes extend from an outer insulation layer adjacent the top side into an inner insulation layer adjacent the main insulation layer. Lower plated through-holes extend from the bottom side into a lower insulation layer adjacent the main insulation layer. A circuit arrangement includes the printed circuit board, electrical components fitted to the top side and connected to the PCB, and heat sink(s) fitted to the bottom side and connected to the PCB.

  • Patent number: 11515085
    Abstract: In a system for an inductive energy transmission from a primary-conductor system, in particular a stationary primary conductor system, to a vehicle having a secondary winding, the secondary winding is inductively coupled with the primary-conductor system. The primary conductor is installed as a primary-conductor loop installed in elongated form, which has a feed conductor and a return conductor in a line section, in particular a return conductor that is installed parallel thereto, and the return conductor is electrically grounded in that at least one inductance is disposed between the return conductor and the electrical ground.

  • Patent number: 7891931
    Abstract: Lateral guidance transportation systems include at least one route, on which at least one transportation vehicle is guided as the main vehicle. The main vehicle is energized by a primary circuit having a contact wire arranged along the route, or contactlessly. The main vehicle includes a lifting platform that is drivable by a drive, and on which there is at least one satellite vehicle. The satellite vehicle also includes a drive for automatically moving along an additional route, and which is arranged for transporting goods. The additional route includes a satellite route section for the positioning and parking of the satellite vehicle. The satellite route section is truly alignable, by positioning the main vehicle on satellite routes arranged transversely to the route, on shelves. Satellite route sections and satellite routes include primary conductors energized contactlessly by the main vehicle.
