  • Window pane assembly for a vehicle
    Patent number: 12103367
    Abstract: A window pane assembly for a vehicle includes a window pane that moves in a receiving gap of a receiving shaft between a closed position and an open position. The window pane completely covers a window opening in the closed position and at least partially exposes the window opening in the open position. The window pane includes a first edge region facing the vehicle roof and a second edge region located opposite the first edge region and received in the receiving gap of the receiving shaft. The window pane has a wedge-shaped thickened section on an outer face of the window pane at the second edge region. The thickened section engages an outer seal element when the window is set in the closed position and the vehicle is driving. The thickened section is spatially separated from the outer seal element when the vehicle is parked.

  • Fitting arrangement for connecting a slidable and tiltable leaf
    Patent number: 10501974
    Abstract: A fitting assembly for a window or door includes a leaf tiltable and detachable from, and slidable parallel to, the fixed window or door frame, and a control element with a fastener mountable permanently on the frame and an insertion part pivotable and slidable relative to the fastener. In an insertion position, in which a control pin is pushable into the insertion part, an insertion part end section lies preferably partially against the fastener for conducting away control pin-insertion part impact into the fastener via the end section. The insertion part may pivot out of interlocking engagement with the fastener by a control arm on which the control pin may be located or formed, such that subsequently the insertion part can slide via the control pin. The control element can have a freewheel mechanism for pivoting the insertion part only during fitting assembly opening and not during closing.

  • Method for the load-free opening of a separating clutch
    Patent number: 9127728
    Abstract: A method is provided for the load-free opening of a separating clutch. The method includes the following steps: receiving a signal for disengaging the clutch; applying a negative torque at the separating clutch using a drive machine; applying a positive, predefined torque at the separating clutch using the drive machine; and opening the separating clutch as soon as the amount of the torque applied at the separating clutch lies within predefined limit values. In other words, a torque in the known range of the system is set via a drive-side deceleration. Then, a drive-side acceleration takes place, so that the torque is increased on the drive side, starting from the known range of the system, until it generally matches the torque on the output side. This enables a load-free opening of the clutch.

  • System and method for a process broker and backend adapter based process integration
    Patent number: 9098830
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for process integration may comprise providing a business logic layer that hosts business object(s), providing process broker(s), providing adapter(s) and providing a process broker handler. Each process broker may perform process integration tasks by dynamically determining whether, when and/or how routines of the business logic layer need to be integrated with routines of a second application. Each adapter may be part of a first application and implement methods to perform communication protocol specific logic. Each adapter may also be interoperable with at least one of the process brokers and one of the business objects to transform a message exchanged between the process broker and the second application from an internal format to an external format or vice versa. The process broker handler may be operable to instantiate the process broker and to instantiate an adapter stored in association with the instantiated process broker.

  • System and method for a process broker and backend adapter based process integration
    Patent number: 8869170
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention may provide a local process integration component to facilitate process integration. The local process integration component may include an adapter, a process broker and a process broker handler. The process broker may collaborate with the business logic and adapter to perform business-centric integration logic. The architecture is based on is a toolkit and generator approach. For inbound communication, the adapter is responsible for control flow while the process broker handler provides generic services. For outbound communication, the process broker is responsible for control flow while the process broker handler provides generic services. The control flow orchestration is uniformed by code generation.

  • Method and system for controlling an electrical machine in a drivetrain of a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 8463477
    Abstract: A method and a system are described for controlling an electrical machine in a drivetrain of a motor vehicle, the electrical machine being used as a drive unit for the motor vehicle. A pilot control unit determines a pilot control torque as a function of a predefined target torque of the electrical machine, the pilot control unit having a transfer function that corresponds to an oscillation component of a transfer function, ascertained in model-supported fashion for the overall drivetrain, that describes a dependence of a rotation speed of the electrical machine on a torque with which the electrical machine is operated. A control unit for the electrical machine determines a corrected target torque for the electrical machine by superimposing the pilot control torque on the predefined target torque and controlling the electrical machine as a function of the corrected target torque.
