  • Publication number: 20230324252
    Abstract: A monitoring and measuring device for an air supply system of a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle, includes a compressor which is designed to provide compressed air; a defined volume which is situated downstream of the compressor; a shut-off valve which is situated downstream of the defined volume; a pressure sensor which is provided at any desired position on the pressure line between the compressor and the shut-off valve and is configured to measure the pressure that builds in the defined volume. A first or second air drying device, for example, is used as the defined volume. The pressure curve measured by the pressure sensor can indicate whether there is a fault or a leak.

  • Patent number: 11686048
    Abstract: An aramid-based paper comprising at least 90 wt. % of aramid material, the aramid material including at least one of aramid shortcut and aramid fibrid, the paper including at most 40 wt. % aramid pulp, calculated on the total amount of aramid material, wherein the paper includes 0.1-10 wt. % of polyamido-amine epichlorohydrin (PAE). It has been found that the incorporation of 0.1-10 wt. % of polyamido-amine epichlorohydrin (PAE) into an aramid-based paper including at least 90 wt. % of aramid material calculated on the weight of the paper not including the PAE, the aramid material including at least one of aramid shortcut and aramid fibrid, the paper including at most 40 wt. % aramid pulp, leads to a surprising improvement of the z-strength and the tear strength of the paper.

  • Patent number: 11371469
    Abstract: A fuel pump for a liquid fuel water injection system of a motor vehicle is provided. The fuel pump includes a low-pressure pump that mixes water from a water tank of the motor vehicle with liquid fuel from a fuel tank of the motor vehicle to a liquid fuel water emulsion and provides the liquid fuel water emulsion at a low pressure. A high-pressure pump is in fluid communication with the low-pressure pump and compresses the liquid fuel water emulsion from the low pressure to a high pressure for injecting the liquid fuel water emulsion into an internal combustion engine of the motor vehicle via an injection rail of the motor vehicle. A pump drive drives the low-pressure pump and the high-pressure pump synchronously with a pump frequency independently from an engine speed of the internal combustion engine of the motor vehicle.

  • Patent number: 11031888
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a rotating electric machine (1) having a rotor (3), a polyphase excitation winding (5) and a commutation apparatus (9) for commutating excitation winding currents of the excitation winding (5) depending on rotor position values (R) for rotor positions of the rotor (3). First measurement values (A) for the rotor positions are detected by means of a first sensor apparatus (13) and second measurement values (B) for the rotor positions are detected by means of a second sensor apparatus (15). For the commutation of the excitation winding currents, the rotor position values (R) are formed from weighted mean values (M) of the first measurement values (A) and the second measurement values (B).
