  • Publication number: 20250050756
    Abstract: A charging connection device for an electrically powered vehicle with two adjacently arranged charging connections having one of the charging connections being a combined DC-AC charging connection with two types of contact elements and a further charging connection is a DC charging connection or an AC charging connection or as a further DC-AC charging connection. The two adjacently arranged charging connections are electrically coupled via a common electrical path. The charging connection device includes at least two movably mounted charging connection covers, each assigned to one of charging connections. The charging connection covers each cover the corresponding charging connection in at least one covering position and at least partially release contact elements of the corresponding charging connection in at least one releasing position.

  • Publication number: 20250042275
    Abstract: A charging connection device, for an electric vehicle having two charging connections arranged next to each other, includes at least two moveably mounted charging connection covers respectively assigned to each charging connection. The charging connection covers respectively cover the corresponding charging connection in at least one first state and at least partially uncover the corresponding charging connection in at least one second state. A barrier arrangement prevents one of the charging connection covers from being transitioned from the at least one first state into the at least one second state if the other charging connection cover has the at least one second state, so that only one of the two charging connections at a time is accessible for contacting, while the other of the two charging connections is covered by the respective charging connection cover.

  • Publication number: 20250042276
    Abstract: A charging connection device, for an electrically drivable vehicle, includes two charging connections arranged next to each other and electrically coupled via a shared electrical path, each of the charging connections is assigned to at least one charging mode. A movably mounted cover element covers both charging connections in a covering position, uncovers a first charging connection and covers a second charging connection in a first uncovering position, and covers the first charging connection and uncovers the second charging connection and in a second uncovering position, so that during a charging process, only one charging connection assigned to a current charging mode is accessible at a time in order to be contacted, while the other one of the two charging connections is covered by the cover element.

  • Publication number: 20240034166
    Abstract: The invention relates to a charging device (100) for charging an electrical stored energy source (60) of an electrically operable vehicle (200), said charging device comprising: a charging connection (50) for electrically connecting the charging device (100) to an external voltage supply; a charging unit (10) for converting a first DC voltage applied to the charging connection (50) into a second DC voltage which is provided for charging the electrical stored energy source (60); and a power distributor unit (30) having a first and a second output (36, 38) for providing the first DC voltage applied to the charging connection (50) and/or the second DC voltage converted by the charging unit (10) to the electrical stored energy source (60) connected to the outputs (36, 38). The power distributor unit (30) has: a first electrical connection (52) for the charging connection (50); and a second electrical connection (56) for the charging unit (10).

  • Publication number: 20120272428
    Abstract: A user wearable animal decoy, to: provide the user with a wearable decoy, allow the user to move effortlessly through the game territory with ease and little difficulty, attract selected game to the user, and not interfere with the user's movement during operation of any equipment that is being operated by the user. There may be a decoy hat, designed to be worn by the user on their head, having a cavity, formed within the decoy hat, designed and shaped for placement of a top portion of the users head therein; a pair of horns, removably coupled to a top section of the decoy hat; a coloration patch, removably coupled to the decoy hat. There may be a decoy neck, positionally located proximate to the decoy hat, designed to be worn by the user to cover at least a portion of the face of the user to resemble a neck of the animal.

  • Publication number: 20090222744
    Abstract: Systems and methods of conducting a meeting between a plurality of people in a virtual environment are provided. A display associated with each of the plurality of people outputs a virtual conference room that includes an avatar associated with each of the plurality of people, and a virtual display that displays a 3-D model of a manufacturing facility. A selection of an object of the 3-D model is received and the virtual display displays information associated with the selected object of the 3-D model. The display associated with each of the plurality of people outputs the virtual conference room and the virtual display with the information associated with the selected object of the 3-D model.

  • Patent number: 6311475
    Abstract: A device for igniting a combustion in a combustion chamber of a gas turbine has a housing fitted with an end piece and with a head piece. Hitherto, an ignition conductor comes into contact with combustion air. Moreover, fragments of a partial ceramic insulation can lead to damage. To improve the quality of ignition, the ignition conductor and a gas conduit are disposed to run parallel to one another within a housing. The ignition conductor is surrounded by a protective sleeve, and an annular space between the ignition conductor and the protective sleeve is filled completely with a ceramic material. An annular disc serving as an ignition electrode is mounted on that end of the protective sleeve that projects into the head piece.
