Patent number: 10253845Abstract: A method for connecting a wire cable to a cable shoe for a belt buckle mounting comprises the steps of: pre-bending a retaining portion of the cable shoe to form an eye; inserting the wire cable into the eye; extruding the retaining portion so that the outer periphery thereof is reduced. The extrusion of the retaining portion is carried out as impact extrusion, wherein a form closure is produced between the retaining portion and the wire cable. The impact extrusion is carried out by a tool including at least one edge-free first seat for the eye. An apparatus for connecting a wire cable to a cable shoe for a belt buckle mounting comprises a first tool half including a first seat for a retaining portion of the cable shoe pre-bent into an eye and an opposed second tool half including a second seat for the retaining portion. The two tool halves can be forced against each other with high pressure so that the material of the retaining portion starts to flow. At least the first seat is free from edges.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2012Date of Patent: April 9, 2019Assignee: TRW Automotive GmbHInventor: Martin Seitz

Publication number: 20060214671Abstract: A system and method for monitoring and controlling the properties of fluids is disclosed. The inventive concept employs impedance spectroscopy (IS) measurements, and is suitable for real-time, in situ, monitoring and quality control operations, such as quality control during the manufacture of blended lubricants. IS data are obtained for three or more frequencies, where the lowest frequency is less than 1 Hz and the highest frequency is greater than 1 Hz. These data may be interpreted according to statistical techniques such as Principal Component Regression, analytical techniques such as equivalent circuit modeling, or by a combination thereof. The data analysis provides characteristics, or IS signatures, relating to the properties of the fluid. IS signatures for a test fluid are compared to IS signatures for calibration fluids to determine whether the properties of the test fluid fall within specified limits.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2006Publication date: September 28, 2006Inventors: David Wooton, Richard Hirthe, Martin Seitz

Publication number: 20050021216Abstract: A probe having a pair of closely spaced electrodes is immersed in the lubricant and one electrode is excited with a relatively low voltage AC current. The frequency is swept over a range of about 1-10,000 Hertz and the current and phase angle measured at selected frequency intervals. The reactive (Z?) and resistive (Z?) impedances are computed for each current measurement and values of Z? plotted as a function of Z? as a Nyquist plot. The center of curvature of the plot between the origin and the minimum value of Z? is located; and, the angle of depression of a line from the origin through the center of curvature ? is determined from the plot. Samples of lubricant having known concentration of soot are measured and the angle ? determined for each sample. The angle is then plotted as a function of soot concentration and a smooth curve fitted to the data plots. The curve may be programmed into a microcomputer to be used with the sensor for real time determination of soot concentration.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 22, 2003Publication date: January 27, 2005Applicant: EATON CORPORATIONInventors: Charles Koehler, Richard Hirthe, Martin Seitz
