  • Patent number: 11722042
    Abstract: A method for putting an SSM rotor, having the following steps: arranging the SSM rotor to be potted having upright alignment in a potting mold; introducing a first casting compound from below into the casting mold until a certain pre-fill level is reached, at which the first casting compound extends at least up to the lower end face of the rotor winding; introducing a second potting compound from above into the potting mold, wherein the second potting compound is poured onto the rotor winding and is drawn into the rotor winding; further introducing of the first potting compound from below into the potting mold until a certain final fill level is reached; and curing of the potting compounds.

  • Patent number: 11291963
    Abstract: A device and related method for producing a ready-to-use solution from a concentrate and a diluent includes an inlet for the diluent; an inlet for the concentrate; an outlet for the solution; a line extending from the inlet for the diluent via a confluence where diluent and concentrate meet, to the outlet; a mixing container arranged in the line between the confluence and the outlet and having a larger cross-section than parts of the line, which are arranged upstream and downstream of the mixing container; and a metering pump for the concentrate, which is connected on the suction side to the inlet for the concentrate and on the pressure side to the confluence and which operates in a pulsed manner. The metering pump works with a clock frequency, in which a plurality of pump surges are attributable to the dwell time of the liquid in the mixing container.

  • Patent number: 10910685
    Abstract: Vehicle having a high-voltage battery which has a housing, wherein the housing has a housing floor which is essentially parallel to an underlying surface on which the vehicle is standing or travelling, a housing cover which is arranged spaced apart from the housing floor, housing walls via which the housing floor is connected to the housing cover. The housing has at least one housing structure plate which has a plane of maximum size which is perpendicular with respect to the housing floor and with respect to the housing cover, and an underside which faces the housing floor or is connected thereto, and an upper side which faces the housing cover or is connected thereto.

  • Patent number: 9876403
    Abstract: Spatially mutually close pole components are offset with respect to one another such that their influences on a given harmonic of the vibrations occurring during operation cancel one another as much as possible. The present invention therefore suggests concepts and makes dimensioning proposals by means of which certain harmonic orders of the operating noise can be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20100295333
    Abstract: A folding top includes a roof cap extending transversely to a longitudinal direction and a top rail extending on one side of the roof cap in the longitudinal direction. The top rail has front and rear rail guides arranged end to end in the longitudinal direction with a rear end of the front rail guide facing a front end of the rear rail guide. The front rail guide is connected to the roof cap by screws. The front lever is connected to the rear end of the front rail guide. The rear lever is connected to the front end of the rear rail guide. The levers are connected together via a rotating bearing such that the rail guides are connected together and are movable relative to one another as the levers rotate about the bearing. The levers and the bearing are fabricated separately from the rail guides.
