  • Patent number: 11630474
    Abstract: A split calibration knob can include a lower knob with a lower-knob attachment interface and an upper knob with an upper-knob attachment interface configured to be engaged with the lower-knob attachment interface. One of the lower-knob attachment interface and the upper-knob attachment interface can include a tube with a first press-fit feature and a first positioning feature positioned on the tube. The other of the lower-knob attachment interface and the upper-knob attachment interface can include a hub having an outward facing surface, a second press-fit feature configured to be engaged with the first press-fit feature to secure the upper knob to the lower knob, and a second positioning feature configured to be engaged with the first positioning feature to fix an orientation of the upper knob relative to the lower knob, thereby linking rotation of the lower knob to the rotation of the upper knob.

  • Patent number: 10166871
    Abstract: A wheel stability control system for an electric vehicle including an electric motor, a drive inverter, and an electronic control unit (ECU) including a computer readable, non-transitory memory (memory) and an electronic processing unit (EPU). The memory stores information including an optimal acceleration and deceleration curve and the electrical characteristics of the electric motor. The EPU calculates the electrical moment of the electric motor from inputs from the drive inverter and the electrical characteristics of the electric motor. The ECU compares the electrical moment and the angular speed of the motor with the optimal acceleration and deceleration curve, and if the acceleration or deceleration of the electric motor is out of a predetermined range when compared to the optimal acceleration and the optimal deceleration, it reduces the electrical moment applied by the electric motor.

  • Patent number: 9375778
    Abstract: A method according to the invention for producing forged parts with a prescribed end contour comprises the following steps: pre-forging of a blank in order to obtain a forged part and subsequent reshaping of the forged part in a die, wherein one or a plurality of tools are inserted into the forged part during the reshaping and, in the process, the material of the forged part is displaced in a manner such that the specified end contour is obtained.
