  • Patent number: 11970378
    Abstract: Systems for inspecting a warehouse are disclosed. A system includes a laser scanner attachable to an industrial truck and adapted to scan in a plane substantially perpendicular to the industrial truck's main direction of travel to scan an environment of a warehouse on at least one side of the industrial truck and to generate scan data. The system includes a computing unit adapted to receive the scan data and data on the absolute position and/or relative position change of the industrial truck, or data from which one or more of these variables can be derived. The computing unit is further adapted to construct three-dimensional data of the environment on the basis of the scan data and data on the absolute position and/or relative position change of the industrial truck.

  • Publication number: 20240035566
    Abstract: A park lock mechanism for a motor vehicle includes a park lock pawl for selectively forming a form-locking connection to a lock region, the park lock mechanism having a locking mode, in which the park lock pawl is moved into a locking position, and a driving mode, in which the park lock pawl is moved into a driving position. The park lock pawl is pivotable about a pawl axis from the locking position into the driving position. A locking pawl spring device preloads the park lock pawl into the driving position. A locking pawl actuation device has a locking pawl actuator with a locking pawl actuator shaft and has a locking pawl cone, the locking pawl cone being movable along a cone axis by the locking pawl actuator. The cone axis is parallel to the pawl axis. The locking pawl cone is movable along the cone axis between a cone driving position and a cone locking position.

  • Publication number: 20220363901
    Abstract: A mixture contains at least one polyether block amide (PEBA) and at least one poly(meth)acrylate, selected from poly(meth)acrylimides, poly-alkyl(meth)acrylates, and mixtures thereof. The mass ratio of PEBA to poly(meth)acrylate is 95:5 to 60:40. The polyalkyl(meth)acrylate contains 80% by weight to 99% by weight of methyl methacrylate (MMA) units and 1% by weight to 20% by weight of C1-C10-alkyl acrylate units, based on the total weight of polyalkyl(meth)acrylate. The mixture can be processed to give foamed mouldings. The mouldings can he used in footwear soles, stud material, insulation or insulating material, damping components, lightweight components, or in a sandwich structure.
