Abstract: A power supply device, an apparatus and an assembly with the power supply device and a method for supplying power to a track element of a track-bound traffic system. The power supply device for at least one track element of the track-bound traffic has a trackside receiving device for receiving energy which is transmitted actively by electromagnetic induction by a transmitting device or a track-bound vehicle, and a trackside energy storage device for at least partial storage of the energy received by the trackside receiving device. The track element is supplied with electrical power from the trackside receiving device. The power transmission is decoupled in time from the energy transfer from the transmitting device to the trackside receiving device.

Abstract: A control for a steering support system for a two-wheeled vehicle is provided. The steering support system has an actuator with the aid of which a steering torque is applied to the two-wheeled vehicle. The actuator is, for example, an electric motor which cooperates with a steering tube. The control triggers the actuator in a targeted manner to effect a desired steering torque. Furthermore, various sensors are provided for detecting vehicle dynamics parameters, such as a steering angle, a steering torque, accelerations acting on the two-wheeled vehicle, or speeds of wheels of the two-wheeled vehicle. Based on the parameters detected by the sensors, the actuator may be triggered to effect a steering torque.

Abstract: In a method for reducing the rollover risk in vehicles, at least one state variable which characterizes the transverse dynamics of the vehicle is ascertained and is used as the basis for an intervention into the steering system and the braking system which stabilizes the vehicle. A multivariable control is carried out in which two control loops are superimposed, the first control loop being based on control of the yaw rate and the second control loop being based on control of the transverse acceleration. The steering system as well as the braking system may be adjusted via the first and second control loops.

Abstract: An arrangement introduces a metered volume of gas into a cavity filled with a melt of plastic. The cavity is defined by an injection mold for producing a hollow plastic body and the injection mold has an injection channel for introducing the molten plastic into the cavity. The arrangement includes a gas-injection nozzle assembly having a housing mounted in the mold and a member displaceably mounted in the housing so as to be movable between a first position and a second position located in spaced relationship to the injection channel. The housing and the member conjointly define a forward end portion of a nozzle assembly facing into the cavity at a region of the cavity spaced from the injection channel. A conducting channel in the forward end portion conducts the gas into the cavity when the member is in the second position. The conducting channel defines a gas-discharge opening for discharging the gas into the cavity.
