Abstract: A method is provided for controlling a drive-train (12) of a motor vehicle (10) having at least one first drive motor (16), a second drive motor (18), and a transmission (20) for taking up the drive torques (M1, M2) of the first drive motor (16) and the second drive motor (18). The method includes determining a torque (MFW) desired by the driver, determining a shift position of at least one first shifting element (64) of the transmission (20), and calculating a nominal torque (MS) on the basis of the torque (MFW) desired by the driver, a drive torque (M1) of the first drive motor (16), and the shift position of the at least one first shifting element (64) of the transmission (20).

Abstract: A method is provided for controlling a drive train (12) of a motor vehicle (10) having an electric drive motor (16, 17), a wheel (26, 27) driven by the electric drive motor (16), and an anti-lock braking system (30) for preventing the wheel from locking (26, 27). The method includes detecting an impending control intervention of the anti-lock braking system (30) and disconnecting a torque-transmitting connection from the electric drive motor (16) to the wheel (26, 27) when an impending control intervention of the anti-lock braking system (30) is detected. Also disclosed are a control device (60), a drive train (12), and a motor vehicle (10) configured to carry out such a method.

Abstract: A method (8) is disclosed for cooling a drive system having a first component (1), a second component (2), and a common cooling circuit (3). The drive system is designed such that the common cooling circuit (3) is suitable for cooling the first component (1) and the second component (2), where the first component (1) has a first maximum temperature and a first threshold temperature, and where the first threshold temperature is lower than the first maximum temperature. The second component (2) has a second maximum temperature, where the first maximum temperature is lower than the second maximum temperature, and when the first threshold temperature is reached a cooling performance applied to cool the second component (2) is reduced.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for preventing a power reduction in an electric drive system of a vehicle (3) during a journey of the vehicle. The method includes a component-tempering process (P2) in which at least one component (4, 5, 6) of the electric drive system is tempered, such that the method comprises a power reduction prediction process (P1) in which it is checked whether a power reduction is to be expected during a journey. The component-tempering process (P2) is initiated as soon as the power reduction prediction process (P1) has recognized that a power reduction is to be expected during the journey.

Abstract: The invention is wiper arm for a device for the cleaning of a windshield on a vehicle with a retaining element attached to a drive shaft to which a wiper arm part is articulated such that it can be tilted onto and away from the windshield and which is pressed down in the direction of the windshield with a force at least during the operation of the windshield washing device, and with the free end of which a wiper can be connected and with a separate trim that is attached to the wiper arm and extends in a longitudinal direction over the greater part of the length of the entire wiper arm part, and over all of the length of the wiper that is connected to the wiper arm.

Abstract: The invention relates to a four-joint wiper arm for a windshield wiper system of a motor vehicle, with the so-called four-joint consisting of a primary lever that can be connected to the primary shaft, a control lever arranged lateral to the former, that can be connected to a supporting arbor and a coupling link connected by means of one joint respectively to the free ends of primary lever and control lever. At the end at which the control lever is coupled, the joint section of the wiper arm is pivoted to the coupling link in a conventional way. In order to preclude distortion in the four-joint assembly and thereby improve the wiping quality, one of the two joints is in the form of a ball-and-socket joint between the coupling link and primary lever or control lever and the other is in the form of a universal joint.
