  • Publication number: 20230080884
    Abstract: A fuel cell system is provided having a fuel cell and a jet pump control valve unit connected to an anode chamber with an intake connection and a pressure connection. A fuel gas control valve connecting a fuel gas source and the jet pump has a valve seat with a first sealing surface and at least two through-flow channels, and a moveable valve body with a second sealing surface. The valve body can be moved into a blocking position and a through-flow position using a valve body actuator. The sealing surfaces rest on one another in a common sealing plane and form a seal in the blocking position. A stroke gap is formed between the sealing surfaces in the through-flow position. The first or second sealing surface is arranged on a raised sealing level. A volume flow of a drive jet can be controlled by the valve body actuator.

  • Patent number: 10641351
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a clutch body for a synchronizing device of a transmission includes the steps of: a) providing an externally toothed clutch disk, b) providing a counterfriction ring, c) applying a friction lining onto the counterfriction ring, d) establishing a non-releasable connection between the clutch disk and the counterfriction ring, and e) upsetting a portion of the counterfriction ring at least partly provided with the friction lining in radially inwardly facing direction, so that a counterfriction cone is formed, which is provided for cooperation with a friction surface of the synchronizer ring.

  • Patent number: 8607951
    Abstract: A synchronizer hub comprises a one-piece, disk-shaped base body having a longitudinal extent, an external toothing on an outer periphery of the base body, and an internal toothing on an inner periphery of the base body. The external toothing is divided into a plurality of tooth segments which, as viewed in the longitudinal extent, alternately extend from the base body in opposite directions.

  • Patent number: 6507281
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for configuring a tunnel fire detection system including a linear heat sensor. The fire detection system is configured based on a plurality of tunnel parameters describing the tunnel, a plurality of sensor parameters describing the linear heat sensor, and a plurality of partial fire models describing aspects of fire development. The system and method calculates fire development based on the plurality of tunnel parameters, the plurality of sensor parameters, and the plurality of partial fire models. The system and method can set the fire alarm time, the installation point of the sensor cable and the alarm limit values of the detection system such that a potential fire is quickly and reliably detected.
