  • Patent number: 11885461
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a mount adapted to being secured to a drop ceiling T-bar. The mount includes a base having a slot, an alignment component coupled to or integral with an adjustable clamp having a clamp end, the alignment component slidably received within the slot such that the adjustable clamp is movable along an axis parallel to the base, at least one stationary clamp coupled to or integral with the base and extending outwardly therefrom, a moveable support coupled to the base via one or more spring-loaded components, and a fastening mechanism configured to secure the adjustable clamp to the base. The clamp end of the adjustable clamp, the at least one stationary clamp, and the moveable support are configured to engage and secure a T-bar therebetween. Mount assemblies and related methods are as described herein.

  • Patent number: 11518407
    Abstract: Method and device for optimized autonomous driving, wherein a trajectory for the actuation of the vehicle is determined. A profile of the trajectory is defined by a bending line of a bending band. The bending line is preferably determined by the finite element method, in particular according to the principle of virtual shifting, and achieves an optimization goal and satisfies a boundary condition. The boundary condition is defined in accordance with a profile of a roadway for the vehicle. The optimization goal is defined by a desired driving property of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11312377
    Abstract: Method and device for autonomous driving of a vehicle on a roadway in a direction of travel. A trajectory for driving on the roadway in the direction of travel is determined. A bending strip of limited length defines the trajectory, wherein the bending strip is fixed at one end thereof in a node which defines a starting point of the trajectory. A course of the trajectory is determined, starting from the starting point, in dependence on a bending line of the bending strip, which line extends, starting from the node, to the other end of the bending strip. A representation of a roadway boundary defines a boundary condition for the determination of the trajectory. A quality measure is defined in dependence on a property of the bending strip. The bending line which satisfies the boundary condition and for which the quality measure has an extremal value is determined.

  • Patent number: 10442258
    Abstract: A wheel hub arrangement having a wheel hub for mounting a rim with an inflated tire. The wheel hub arrangement has a rotary piston compressor mounted rotatably on the wheel hub. The wheel hub arrangement has a switchable mechanical coupling device, by way of which the rotary piston compressor can be switched over between a compression mode, in which the rotary piston compressor can be actuated by way of a rotational movement relative to the mounted rim or the wheel hub, and a rest mode, in which it is passive and does not produce any compressed air on the outlet side, and the rotary piston compressor producing compressed air on the outlet side for filling the tire in the compression mode.
