  • Publication number: 20240143905
    Abstract: A method for partially publishing edits to a document is described. A first document including a first cell and a second cell is displayed on first user account on a first computing device and on a second user account. A second document including a linked version of the first cell and a linked version of the second cell is displayed. An edit of the first cell is received from the first user account and an edit of the second cell is received. In response to receiving an indication from the first user account that the edit of the first cell is to be published, the edit of the first cell is made to the linked version of the first cell, while the linked version of the second cell is unchanged so that the content of the linked version of the second cell no longer matches that of the second cell.

  • Publication number: 20230144775
    Abstract: A method for operating a vehicle comprises operating an electric machine and an internal combustion engine as the drive units, by which a total power is generated in synchronous operation for the driving of the vehicle, wherein one portion of the power of the electric machine and one portion of the power of the internal combustion engine is set in dependence on the temperature of at least one of the drive units in the total power for the driving of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11466734
    Abstract: A drive device with a drive unit which has an output shaft and is mechanically connected to a driven shaft of the drive device via a clutch. At least one hydraulic channel and one hydraulic cylinder flow-connected to the hydraulic channel are formed in the output shaft, wherein a hydraulic piston coupled to the clutch for operating the same is displaceably arranged in the hydraulic cylinder.

  • Patent number: 11428132
    Abstract: A method for operating a drive device which includes a drive unit and an exhaust gas purification device arranged in an exhaust gas line for purifying exhaust gas from the drive unit. The exhaust gas purification device is heated at least temporarily by an electrical heating assembly, which includes a heating element for heating a fluid and a bypass line branching off the exhaust gas purification device from the exhaust gas line on the one hand and opening into it on the other hand, in which a fluid pump for conveying the fluid through the exhaust gas purification device is arranged.

  • Publication number: 20220242411
    Abstract: A method for operating a drive unit for a motor vehicle. The drive unit has at least one internal combustion engine, an electric machine which is or may be drivingly coupled to the internal combustion engine, and a start-up clutch, via which the internal combustion engine and the electric machine are drivingly connected to an output shaft of the drive unit. In a start-up operation mode of the drive unit, the internal combustion engine is operated without ignition when the start-up clutch is open, and is cranked by the electric machine to a start-up speed, which is greater than an idle speed of the internal combustion engine. The internal combustion engine is ignition-operated and the start-up clutch is closed upon reaching the start-up speed. The invention further relates to a drive unit for a motor vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20210261112
    Abstract: A method for operating a drive device for a motor vehicle, the drive device having a first drive unit designed as an internal combustion engine and a second drive unit designed as an electrical machine, which together at least temporarily provide a drive torque of the drive device on an drive shaft, the drive torque being set to a requested default torque. It In a first operating mode, before changing a speed of the drive shaft for the first drive unit, a torque characteristic is selected from multiple torque characteristics. In the first operating mode, while the speed is being changed, the first drive unit is operated according to the selected torque characteristic for providing at least one part of the specified torque, and a differential torque between the specified torque and the torque provided by the first drive unit boil is provided by the second drive unit.
