  • Patent number: 11897472
    Abstract: A method for controlling a drive motor in a motor vehicle may include the steps: determining driving situation information which describes a static friction and/or a frictional connection of at least one wheel of the motor vehicle and/or a speed of the motor vehicle, determining a minimum speed of the drive motor as a function of the driving situation information, and regulating or controlling the speed of the drive motor as a function of the minimum speed, in particular such that the speed is always greater than the minimum speed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9169945
    Abstract: A condensate trap is provided for a housing of a motor vehicle that is sealed off from the environment, wherein the housing is provided for accommodating a technical component, in particular a power storage module. A reservoir for accommodating the condensate is formed in or on the floor of the housing. The reservoir forms the lowest point of the floor in a predefined installation situation of the housing. The reservoir is separated from the interior of the housing by a cover, which is provided with at least one breakthrough as an inlet for the condensate, accumulating in the interior. An outlet opening of the reservoir is coupled to an actively actuable element for discharging the condensate.

  • Patent number: 8889282
    Abstract: An apparatus for supplying power to a motor vehicle, in particular a passenger vehicle or motorcycle, has a plurality of electrochemical storage cells. At least one of the electrodes respectively situated in the storage cells is made of metal or is provided with a metal layer essentially over its entire surface. The metal electrode or the metal layer, in particular a metal foil, is connected in an electrically conductive manner via a connecting element to a terminal provided outside the storage cell. To provide a reliable apparatus for supplying power, in particular for the intermittent electric motor drive of a motor vehicle, a thermally conductive cooling plate, which is in thermal contact with essentially each of the terminals of the storage cells, is provided. The cooling plate dissipates the thermal energy which is supplied by the metal electrodes or the metal layers on the electrodes to the terminal via the connecting element.
