  • Patent number: 11858340
    Abstract: A fuel conveying device having a pumping stage, an electric motor to drive the pumping stage, a control unit, a magnetoresistive fill level sensor that generates a fill level signal, including a temperature-effect compensator that generates a compensation signal to compensate for temperature-related influences on the fill level signal, and an evaluation unit (5) designed such that the temperature of a fluid surrounding the fill level sensor can be determined by the evaluation unit by the compensation signal. A fuel tank equipped with a fuel delivery device of said type, a method for determining the temperature of a fluid inside a fuel tank, a method for controlling and/or regulating an electric motor, and a method for controlling and/or regulating an injection of fuel vapors to a combustion process of an internal combustion engine.

  • Publication number: 20230373302
    Abstract: A display device and a dashboard having such a display device is disclosed. The disclosure moreover relates to a motor vehicle having such a dashboard. The display device has a display module having a display panel and a housing for receiving the display module. The housing on two opposite sides has resilient fastening elements. The latter are designed in such a manner that a force acting perpendicularly on the display panel causes a rotation of the display device about an axis perpendicular to the two opposite sides.

  • Publication number: 20230373303
    Abstract: A display device and a dashboard comprising a display device is disclosed. The disclosure moreover relates to a motor vehicle having such a dashboard. The display device has a display module having a display panel and a housing for receiving the display module. The housing has resilient bistable fastening elements.

  • Patent number: 11305643
    Abstract: A fuel delivery unit for use within a vehicle fuel tank includes: a surge tank arranged on a wall of the fuel tank, a feed line extending from a region of the surge tank to a connector stub on the flange, and a wiring harness extending from the fuel pump to the flange. A flange-side holder forms a first force application point for fixing the wiring harness on a flange side, and a surge tank-side holder forms a second force application point for fixing the wiring harness on the surge tank side. The wiring harness, the flange-side holder and the surge tank-side holder together form a force absorber configured to protect the feed line and the connector stub during a vehicle impact by absorbing kinetic energy from the impact acting on the fuel delivery unit, thereby dissipating the kinetic energy.

  • Patent number: 8236456
    Abstract: A flow shifting fuel cell with water separator. The water separator is used to control the amount of moisture that passes through the anode flowpath of one or more fuel cells in one or more fuel cell stacks. The water separator is made up of a housing to direct the flow of a moisture-bearing fluid as well as act as a collection and container for separated moisture. Fluid that is cyclically passing through the fuel cell stack as part of its flow shifting mode of operation oscillates back and forth across a separation chamber formed within the water separator, thereby allowing bidirectional control of the moisture content within the fluid. A drain is formed in the separation chamber to allow removal of condensed water.
