  • Publication number: 20190168628
    Abstract: A method and a vehicle electrical system having an inverter, an electrical energy store, an electrical machine and an AC transmission terminal. The inverter has first and second sides and is configured to transmit power between these sides. Two output terminals of the inverter are connected or connectable to the energy store on the first side of the inverter. At least two phase current terminals of the inverter are connected or connectable to the electrical machine on the second side of the inverter. At least one of the charging inputs of the vehicle electrical system is connectable to a respective inner motor phase of the electrical machine by a switching device controlled by a controller. The vehicle electrical system initially charges the electrical energy store with a first voltage, and then charges the electrical energy store with a second voltage, which second voltage is higher than the first voltage.

  • Patent number: 9710290
    Abstract: A coupling device for coupling a software component, which transmits a setting command for setting an actuator on a control system of a motor vehicle, to the control system, the coupling device including a monitoring unit, which is designed to carry out an assessment for each setting command as to whether its implementation will transfer the motor vehicle into a dangerous state, the coupling device being further designed to transmit, as a function of this assessment, a monitored setting command corresponding to the setting command to an implementation unit, the implementation unit being designed to control the actuator.

  • Patent number: 8564244
    Abstract: The invention relates to a battery with battery cells and a method for monitoring and controlling the battery cells of the battery. The battery has a plurality of battery cell stacks which are connected in series. A battery cell stack may have an individual battery cell or may be constructed from battery cells which are connected in parallel. Sensors monitor the charge state of individual battery cells, individual battery cell stacks, individual pairs of battery cells and/or individual pairs of battery cell stacks. A charge compensation device has a target value table of the permissible charge state of individual battery cells. The charge compensation device varies the charge compensation depending on the charge state and, when the target value for the charge state of individual battery cells is reached, the charge compensation of the battery cells is interrupted.

  • Patent number: 7255740
    Abstract: A method is described for making low-stress single crystals with a hexagonal crystal structure, which has a crystallographic c-axis perpendicular to a [0001] surface. A single crystal maintained at a temperature under the melting point of the crystal raw material is dipped in a melt of the crystal raw material, whereby a solid-liquid phase boundary is formed. The crystal is subsequently drawn with an upwardly directed drawing motion e.g. by the Czochralski method. The method is characterized by drawing the crystal along the c-axis so that a temperature gradient of at least 30 K/cm is present in the crystal within a centimeter of the solid-liquid phase boundary and by subsequently performing a tempering treatment on the resulting single crystal. The method is especially suitable for corundum crystals, such as sapphire, which are used as substrates for semiconductor components, such as LEDs.

  • Publication number: 20050253113
    Abstract: A white cold light source uses an LED or a gas discharge lamp and a luminescent rare earth doped glass comprising multiple rare earth cations and a particularly high total rare earth content to generate white light emission. Preferably, the luminescent glass has a 2700K to 7000K black body temperature and color rendering index value exceeding 80. A first embodiment of the glass is composed primarily of P2O5, Al2O3, and alkaline earth and alkali metal oxides, and possesses other properties such as physical and thermal properties that are compatible with conventional melting, forming and other manufacturing steps. Other embodiments of the luminescent glass have a maximum water content of 0.1 wt-% and do not contain any boron. Also the luminescent glass is preferably free of water, boron oxides and nitrides. The luminescent glass can be used as a wavelength converter to produce bright white light emission when pumped by conventional commercially available blue and UV light emitting diode sources.
