  • Patent number: 11897570
    Abstract: A novel bicycle frameset created from a novel frame assembly and a novel fork assembly, where the components of the frame are joined together via the friction stir welding of the tubular components to partial bracket members and where the joining of the partial bracket members via friction stir welding rigidly connects the tubular components to create the frame, and where the components of the fork are joined together via friction stir welding of tubular components to a fork crown, and where the fork and frame combine form the frameset.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10983028
    Abstract: In a planetary gear arrangement with a planetary gear which includes a rotating part and a non-rotating part, and with a sensor module for sensing properties of the planetary gear, the sensor module includes a sensor as well as a first sending/receiving unit and a second sending/receiving unit, wherein the sensor and the first sending/receiving unit are coupled and arranged at the rotating part, and wherein the second sending/receiving unit is arranged at the non-rotating part, wherein the first sending/receiving unit and the second sending/receiving unit are configured for being inductively coupled, wherein the first sending/receiving unit includes an energy storage, wherein the energy storage is configured for being charged during each turn of the rotating part for powering the sensor via the first sending/receiving unit in order to perform measurements.
