  • Patent number: 11609343
    Abstract: A signal generation system for signal simulation includes at least one data input, a pulse description word generator, a multi-frequency signal generator, and at least one radio frequency output. The multi-frequency signal generator is configured to simulate a multi-frequency global navigation satellite system signal. The pulse description word generator and the multi-frequency signal generator are assigned to the data input in order to process data received via the data input. The pulse description word generator and the multi-frequency signal generator are configured to generate an output signal based on at least one instruction for a certain generator behavior of the pulse description word generator and/or the multi-frequency signal generator. The at least one instruction is encompassed in the data received. Further, a method of signal generation is described.

  • Patent number: 11583916
    Abstract: An apparatus for straightening wire ends of enamelled copper wires of electric motors has a clamping apparatus for clamping the wire ends and a straightening apparatus for straightening the wire ends protruding beyond the clamping apparatus. The clamping apparatus and the straightening apparatus each have two actuators with which clamping elements and straightening elements can be moved transversely with respect to the axis of the wire ends.

  • Patent number: 9698633
    Abstract: A transducer contains a rotor, on which permanent magnets are arranged in a concentrically radiant manner, and two stators are provided at both sides of the rotor. The stators are produced from a soft-magnetic material. Each stator contains a first stator section with radially outer supporting bars for first magnetic active faces of the stator being opposite the rotor and a second stator section with radial inner supporting bars for second magnetic active faces of the stators being opposite the rotor. An annular winding groove for receiving a winding is provided between the stator sections. Supporting bars are each arranged in an annular manner and each extend parallel to the rotor axis in the direction of the rotor. The magnetic active faces of the stators are end faces of projections which are uniformly spaced to one another and which protrude from the supporting bars in the direction of the rotor.

  • Patent number: 6487934
    Abstract: A housing (1) for a load adjusting device of an actuating drive for a throttle of an internal combustion engine, the housing having two housing parts (2, 3), has a circumferential sheet-metal strip (10). The sheet-metal strip (10) in each case engages behind an edge (8, 9) of the housing parts (2, 3). The housing parts (2, 3) are therefore prestressed uniformly against each other and reliably sealed off against each other.
