Abstract: A parking lock arrangement for a motor vehicle transmission includes a parking lock gear arranged on a transmission shaft by sliding onto a guide region (7) defined on the radially outward side of the component (2) via a guide region (6) formed on the radially inward side of the parking lock gear (4). In the final position, a recess (14) extending peripherally around the guide region (6) of the parking lock gear (4) has been axially brought into overlap with a recess (13) extending peripherally around the guide region (7) of the component. The parking lock gear (4) and the component are securable against each other via a securing ring. The securing ring engages partially radially into the recess (14) in the guide region (6) on the parking lock gear (4) and partially radially into the recess (13) in the guide region (7) on the component.

Abstract: In order to provide a piston device that is of simple construction and provides optimised sealing, it is proposed that the piston device should include the following: a housing that includes a piston receptacle; a piston that is arranged to be linearly displaceable in the piston receptacle; a main gasket element that separates a first medium space from a second medium space, and a supplementary gasket element, different from the main gasket element, for sealing in a region between the piston and the piston receptacle.

Abstract: An on-board telematic device intended to be attached to a metal part (3) of a body of a motor vehicle comprises, according to the invention, a housing (1) integrating a printed circuit board (5), a face of which supports at least one electronic power component (6), a radiofrequency antenna (7), intended to extend through an opening of the metal part (3), and a metal screen (9) interposed between a lower part of the antenna (7), on the one hand, and the printed circuit board (5) and said at least one component, on the other hand, in order to isolate the antenna from parasitic emissions. The component (6) is placed in line with the metal screen (9) and in thermal contact with a portion of said screen, and said screen (9) is made of a thermally conductive material so as to form a thermal transfer means between the electronic power component (6) and the metal part (3).

Abstract: In order to provide a sealing element which ensures a reliable seal and which can be produced easily and economically, it is proposed that a main body of the sealing element is formed from a partially fluorinated or fully fluorinated thermoplastic material which is injection-moldable.

Abstract: In order to provide a sealing element which ensures a reliable seal and which can be produced easily and economically, it is proposed that a main body of the sealing element is preferably formed from a partially fluorinated or fully fluorinated thermoplastic material and has obtained at least part of its final outer shape or only part of its final outer shape in particular in a high-pressure process and/or in a high-temperature process.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing in-road electric conductivity boxes and on-vehicle descent and pivot contacts for vehicles are provided. In one example embodiment, a system includes, inter alia, a charging component physically coupled to a roadway, a power source electrically coupled to the charging component, and a vehicle that electrically couples with the charging component for receiving power from the power source via the charging component when the vehicle is on the roadway at a location proximate to the charging component. Additional embodiments are also provided.

Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for facilitating proper assembly of an exhaust system. The system includes a first modular exhaust treatment unit connectable to a second modular exhaust treatment unit. At one end, the first modular exhaust treatment unit includes a substantially continuous collar that integrates a first docking element therein. The second modular exhaust treatment unit includes a second docking element configured to engage the first docking element. When connected, the first and second docking elements operate to rotationally align and properly order the first and second modular exhaust treatment units.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method for cooling exhaust gases includes an inlet operatively connected to an exhaust port from a diesel engine or the like, and a housing defining a substantially enclosed volume. At least a portion of the volume is larger in cross-section than the inlet in cross-section, such that the exhaust gases expand upon entering the housing from the inlet. At least one outlet larger in collective cross-section than the inlet in cross-section is disposed on the housing and configured to expel the exhaust gases from the housing into the atmosphere.

Abstract: A lobed exhaust diffuser apparatus, system, and method configured to cool exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine comprises a diffuser having a proximal end, configured to receive exhaust gases from the engine, and a distal end, configured to expel the exhaust gases into the atmosphere. A plurality of lobes are disposed on the distal end such that at least a portion of the exhaust gases pass through the lobes, increasing the interaction surface area between the exhaust gases and the atmosphere, allowing for more rapid diffusion and entrainment between exhaust gases and atmospheric gases, resulting in more rapid cooling of the exhaust gases.

Abstract: An ultra-compact combination exhaust muffler and aftertreatment element and water trap assembly provides exhaust flow through an aftertreatment element surrounded by an annular water collection space receiving water diverted and shed from an upper dome cap above the aftertreatment element and below the upper outlet. In a further embodiment, the assembly includes housing sections separable from each other at a service joint axially between axial ends of the aftertreatment element for ease of servicing. In a further aspect, the aftertreatment element has an axial end within a housing section saving axial extension space.
