  • Patent number: 9948154
    Abstract: An electronically commutated DC motor has a stator wound with a multi-phase stator winding, a permanent magnet rotor mounted rotatably about a motor axis, a circuit board, a guide plate electrically connected to the winding and a housing component. In one implementation, a DC motor can easily be manufactured with the fewest possible process steps, which exhibits a short axial length and a low weight as well as good heat-dissipation properties. It is also an object of the invention to create a DC motor with integrated electronics, whose motor interior can be filled with oil, and which holds the electronics sealed against this oil. For reasons of logistics, an attempt is also made for partial components, such as the electronics, to be designed such that they are capable of complete prior assembly and testing.

  • Patent number: 7798121
    Abstract: A device for detecting the angle of rotation of a throttle valve operated by an electric motor is disclosed. The valve is rotatably supported on a throttle valve shaft in an intake system of a throttle valve housing, wherein an actuator motor coupled to the throttle valve shaft predefines the throttle valve angular position in a manner controlled by a control unit, and wherein a predetermined value of the throttle valve angular position is predetermined by a manually operated predetermined-value input apparatus and is fed to the control unit. The predetermined-value input apparatus is coupled to a predetermined value sensor shaft, wherein the angular position of the predetermined value sensor shaft corresponds to the manually predefined predetermined value of the throttle valve angular position.

  • Patent number: 7794115
    Abstract: There is described an illumination unit with a planar carrier part having a plurality of light-emitting semiconductor components, in particular high-power light-emitting diodes, arranged on both sides of a main surface. On each side of the carrier part a heat sink is provided in each case. Each of the semiconductor components is connected in an efficient heat-conducting manner to a heat sink provided on an opposite side of the carrier part by way of a heat conducting means that is fed through an opening in the carrier part. At least one reflector is embodied on each heat sink having a reflective surface which concentrates the emitted light from a semiconductor component which is arranged on the side of the carrier part facing this heat sink.

  • Patent number: 4772205
    Abstract: A tactile braille or graphic display with a laminar display carrier with pattern points which are raised in their tangible positions and are formed by the hemispherical surfaces of feeler balls projecting through openings in the top of the display carrier which feeler balls are selectively brought into their tangible position by adjustment of associated locking balls. A locking armature which can be slid into the underside of the display carrier is provided to adjust each locking ball. This armature can firstly be slid into the locking position by means of a setting armature of a moving setting device and secondly can be released from the locking position by the setting armature after the latter is magnetized.
