  • Patent number: 10807672
    Abstract: The invention relates to a bicycle having a frame (1) comprising a front head tube (3) that defines a front steering axle (13) and on which a front fork steerer tube (5) having a front wheel fork (7) that receives a front wheel (8), and a steering link (15) on which a handlebar (11) is arranged, is rotatably mounted, and a rear head tube (4) that defines a rear steering axle (14) and on which a rear fork steerer tube (6) having a rear wheel fork (9) that receives a rear wheel (10) is rotatably mounted, wherein the rear fork steerer tube is connected to the front fork steerer tube (5) via a coupling arrangement (12) and is rotatable in dependence of the rotation angle of the front fork steerer tube (5) and the front steering axle (13) and the rear steering axle (14) are inclined toward each other and intersect underneath the handlebar (16).

  • Publication number: 20060037078
    Abstract: An Intrusion Management System detects computer attacks and automatically adjusts confidence that an attack was correctly detected. When the Intrusion Management System detects the attack against a computer system, it does not represent an accuracy of detection as an immutable confidence value. Instead, the Intrusion Management System tabulates information indirectly related to the attack and dynamically scales the confidence in the attack detection accordingly.

  • Publication number: 20050057015
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pivot bearing for a vehicle having a base body for connecting wheel guiding elements to a wheel. The base body is composed of a planar piece of sheet metal to which a flange plate is assigned. The flange plate is connected to the base body in a frictionally locking fashion.

  • Publication number: 20040140640
    Abstract: A wheel suspension system for a motor vehicle has a steering swivel (1) attached to a beam (3) so as to be rotatable about a vertical axis (6). The vertical axis (6) runs approximately through the center (Z) of the wheel. The beam (3) is additionally coupled at its lower end to the bodywork via a link (8), the link (8) being swivelably mounted on the bodywork. Instead of the steering swivel (1), it is also possible to mount a spindle so as to be rotatable about a vertical axis through the center of the wheel. The suspension leg (4) is secured against rotation by coupling to a stabilizer (20).
