Publication number: 20230187767Abstract: A battery arrangement having a housing base arrangement and at least one battery unit which is arranged on the housing base arrangement and is arranged above the housing base arrangement with respect to a first direction and which comprises at least one battery cell. The at least one battery cell has a first side having a releasable degassing opening which is releasable for discharging a gas from the at least one battery cell. The housing base arrangement has at least one predetermined breaking point, which is designed, in dependence on a gas escape of a gas from the degassing opening of the at least one battery cell, to release an opening penetrating the housing base arrangement with respect to the first direction, in order to discharge the gas escaping from the degassing opening of the at least one battery cell through the released opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2022Publication date: June 15, 2023Applicant: AUDI AGInventors: Tobias BENKER, Lukas DĂ–BBELIN, Marc GORMANNS, Ruben HEID, Victor SCHMADALLA, Martin SIMON, Matthias WIMMI, Michael SCHUESSLER

Patent number: 11203330Abstract: A hydraulic unit, in particular a hydraulic unit for a slip-controllable vehicle brake system, includes a housing block, a pump, and a damping device. The pump has an intake side and a delivery side. The housing block has a pump receptacle that holds the pump, a first fluid duct that intersects the pump receptacle in a region of the delivery side of the pump, and a second fluid duct opening into the pump receptacle in the region of the delivery side of the pump, and a first separation point that seals off the first fluid duct from the second fluid duct.

Patent number: 10730496Abstract: A hydraulic unit, in particular for a controllable-slip vehicle brake system, includes a housing block, a pump, a first fluid duct, and a second fluid duct. The housing block defines a pump receptacle that receives the pump, which has a suction side and a pressure side. The first duct crosses the pump receptacle in a region of the pressure side of the pump. The second duct leads into the pump receptacle in the region of the pressure side. The first and second ducts are sealed off from each over via a separation point. The hydraulic unit is configured to enable contact with a damping device configured to damp pulsations and reduce operating noise of the hydraulic unit without negatively impacting functional properties of the hydraulic unit, in particular on pressure build-up dynamics of the vehicle brake system, or without jeopardizing a compact construction of the hydraulic unit.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2015Date of Patent: August 4, 2020Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Beate Schumann, Bernd Haeusser, Oliver Gaertner, Horst Beling, Wolfgang Mailaender, Wolfgang Schuller, Rolf Stotz, Oliver Hennig, Goekhan Oezkan, Michael Schuessler

Patent number: 6934405Abstract: An address reading method with processing steps controlled by parameters, in which free parameters which cannot be adapted by learning samples are to be automatically optimized. These parameters are therefore assigned costs. The value of free parameters which are expensive and lie above selectable cost thresholds are maintained and the remaining free parameters are improved by repeatedly modifying their values on the basis of strategies known per se, taking already evaluated parameter settings into account, and training and evaluating the reading method only with these modified values.Type: GrantFiled: April 4, 2000Date of Patent: August 23, 2005Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventor: Michael Schuessler
