  • Patent number: 9779059
    Abstract: A commercial vehicle comprises a functional arrangement comprising at least one drive motor for providing at least one working or operating function and a parameterisable electronic control arrangement configured to control the functional arrangement depending on a parameter dataset stored in the control arrangement. A data memory is provided, which is rigidly attached in the vehicle, separate from the control arrangement and in which at least one dataset relevant to the vehicle is stored or can be stored. The control arrangement is configured to read data of the dataset relevant to the vehicle from the data memory and/or to write data to the data memory for recording in the dataset relevant to the vehicle or to update the dataset relevant to the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20140021423
    Abstract: A railing assembly comprising at least one infill assembly formed from a top member, a bottom member and a barrier member extending between the top and bottom members. At least one post member is included having an upper support to engage the top member and a lower support to engage the bottom member. At least one of the upper support and the lower support is lockably engagable with the top member and the bottom member, respectively, to retain the at least one infill assembly on the at least one post. The assembly may also include a top rail adapted to lockably engage with the top member. The railing assembly provides a quickly constructed unit that does not require any fasteners to connect together the assembly components while still providing a rattle-free construction.

  • Patent number: 6838793
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electromotor comprising a housing (5) which consists of a ferromagnetic material and a rotationally driven shaft (13) which is located in said housing (5). Said housing comprises at least one bearing shield (25), with a bearing (31) for the shaft (13). The bearing (31) has sensor means (33) for determining the state of rotation of the shaft (13). According to the invention, the bearing (31) is accommodated in a screening bushing (35) which is located in a bearing receiving opening (29) of the bearing shield (25) and which consists of a non-ferromagnetic material. A cover bushing (37) consisting of ferromagnetic material which is connected to the bearing shield (25) and which surrounds the shaft (13) is provided, and surrounds the bearing (31) and the screening bushing (35) on the inside of the housing.

  • Patent number: 6752385
    Abstract: A railing system comprising a first longitudinal rail portion defining a channel into which pickets are insertable at spaced intervals. Fasteners are used to pivotally connect the pickets to the channel for orientation to a desired angle with respect to the first longitudinal rail portion. A second longitudinal rail portion is fittable onto the first longitudinal rail portion to form an assembled rail member in which the channel and fasteners are concealed within the interior of the assembled rail member. The railing system provides a simple and efficient way to install railings, and is particularly suited for assembly of railings at an incline to the horizontal.
