Patent number: 12244189Abstract: A dynamoelectric machine includes a shaft, a rotor arranged fixedly on the shaft for conjoint rotation, and a slip ring system enabling a rotor winding system to be contacted electrically and including a slip ring body having slip rings arranged spaced-apart axially behind one another and assigned to an electrical phase. The slip ring body is connected fixedly to the shaft for conjoint rotation and has between an inner side thereof and the shaft a section which forms an axially open cavity on both skies. In a region of the slip ring system, the shaft is hollow with a hollow shaft portion assigned to the slip ring system for routing feed lines to the rotor winding system. Recesses are provided on the cavity axially on an inside and axially on an outside for introducing a cooling medium flow axially into the cavity and discharge thereof into an outlet region.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 2022Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: Flender GmbHInventors: Herbert Binder, Georg Brunner, Nicole Devingtel, Daniel Friedl, Thomas Garhammer, Robert Gruber, Lorenz Hraska, Oliver Memminger, Günther Ortmeier, Matthias Reisinger, Klaus Schifferer, Markus Sentef

Patent number: 9325467Abstract: At least one embodiment relates to a method for controlling a number of almost blank subframes (ABS) in a heterogeneous network having a macro cell and at least one small cell of a plurality of small cells in a coverage area of the macro cell, the method includes receiving, at the macro cell, a plurality of measurements regarding both received power and received quality from a terminal, receiving, at the macro cell, a plurality of load-related values from a plurality of small cells; and determining, by the macro cell, a cost-benefit value (CBV) based on the received measurements and load values. The CBV indicates whether an increase or a decrease in the ABS would benefit the network. The method further includes selectively changing, by the macro cell, the number of ABS available to the at least one small cell based on the CBV.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2014Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Sem Borst, Phil Whiting, Markus Gruber, Hajo Bakker, Siegfried Klein

Patent number: 9194448Abstract: A disc brake for a commercial vehicle includes a brake caliper which extends over a brake disc, a brake application device which is arranged in the brake caliper for pressing brake pads against the brake disc, and at least one adjustment spindle which is rotatably mounted in a bridge via a threaded coupling. A wear adjusting device is positioned in the brake caliper by which a wear-induced change of the clearance between the brake pad and the brake disc can be substantially compensated for via an axial movement of the adjusting spindle. The disc brake is designed such that the adjusting spindle has at least one axial groove on an outer side, the length of the groove being limited in the direction of the brake application device. A stop, which is axially fixed relative to the bridge, engages into the axial groove in a relatively displaceable manner.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2014Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: KNORR-BREMSE Systeme fuer Nutzfahrzeuge GmbHInventors: Markus Gruber, Ralf Weber, Matthias Klingner

Patent number: 9022180Abstract: A bellows arrangement on a guide bar of a disc brake, particularly of a commercial vehicle, has an end of the bellows comprising a sealing ring, particularly a quad ring, lying in a circumferential groove of the guide bar. The bellows is pressed into the groove by a retaining ring placed thereon, and is designed so that an air passage can form in the contact area of the sealing ring at the base of the groove, reducing the volume enclosed by the bellows and the guide bar. To this end, the contact shoulder formed on the retaining ring is circumferentially interrupted in segments.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2010Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: KNORR-BREMSE Systeme fuer Nutzfahrzeuge GmbHInventors: Markus Gruber, Christian Raffin
