Publication number: 20240344603Abstract: In an adapter series for geared motors, and a method for producing an adapter from a modular system, which include a first housing part, a second housing part, an intermediate flange, and a first bearing, a first adapter or a second adapter is selectively produced. To produce the first adapter, the first housing part is directly connected to the second housing part, and the outer ring of the first bearing is accommodated in the first and second housing parts and centers the first housing part with respect to the second housing part. To produce the second adapter, the first housing part is connected directly to the intermediate flange, the intermediate flange is connected directly to the second housing part on the side thereof facing away from the first housing part, and the outer ring of the first bearing is accommodated in the first housing part and in the intermediate flange and centers the first housing part with respect to the intermediate flange.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2022Publication date: October 17, 2024Applicant: SEW-EURODRIVE GMBH & CO. KGInventors: Philipp MERKEL, Michael BASIEWICZ, Billy PARRIS, Jürgen KASPER

Patent number: 11648925Abstract: Methods and corresponding control devices for releasing an electric actuator in a reliable manner, such as an electric parking brake in particular, in a motor vehicle brake system. The aim of the invention is to provide an improved function and architecture which helps prevent the disadvantages of open-loop control systems when using a rationalized sensor system, thereby obviating closed-loop control systems. This is achieved by a release method and a corresponding electronic control unit which obtains an especially modulated change in the power requirement during the release process upon impacting the quasi-elastic release end stop of the electric actuating unit such that the change is fed back, the change being detected in order to be used as information for a power interruption or a termination of the power supply to the electric actuating unit.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2016Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Inventors: Christof Maron, Heniz-Anton Schneider, Christian Breiten, Ralf Scheib, Lionel Pöffel, Marco Froschauer, Alessandro Giusto, Giulio Brezza, Luca Boscolo, Thomas Merker, Luigi Tessitore, Thomas Winkler, Philipp Merkel, Niclas Görrissen, Pejman Bijanzadeh, Jürgen Bauer, Jürgen Balz

Patent number: 10654460Abstract: A novel, particularly rationally designed, modular parking brake actuator for an electric drum brake system. An axle A1 from the motor, including a screw gear pinion coupled in a rotationally fixed manner, and an axle of the spindle arrangement, including a screw gear which is coupled in a rotationally fixed manner to the drive nut, define under a deflection of 90° a single wheel gearbox stage of the parking brake actuator.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2016Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: CONTINENTAL TEVES AG & CO. OHGInventors: Thomas Winkler, Jürgen Balz, Marco Froschauer, Jürgen Bauer, Patrick Walter, Stefan Heinz, Philipp Merkel, Pejman Bijanzadeh

Patent number: 9648298Abstract: A higher compression rate or better rate/distortion ratio is achieved by adopting or predicting second coding parameters used for encoding a second view of the multi-view signal from first coding parameters used in encoding a first view of the multi-view signal. The redundancies between views of a multi-view signal were found to be not restricted to the views themselves, such as the video information thereof. Rather, the coding parameters in parallely encoding these views show similarities which may be exploited in order to further improve the coding rate.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2013Date of Patent: May 9, 2017Assignee: GE VIDEO COMPRESSION, LLCInventors: Thomas Wiegand, Detlev Marpe, Karsten Mueller, Philipp Merkel, Gerhard Tech, Hunn Rhee, Heiko Schwarz
