  • Publication number: 20240145986
    Abstract: A high-voltage connection system is described. The HV connection system includes a HV plug-connector and a HV socket-connector. The HV plug-connector is installed in an electrical HV unit to form an electrical connection between a second portion of a conductive core of the HV plug-connector and the electrical HV unit in a way that a plug extends outwards of the electrical HV unit. A HV cable with a cable lug is inserted in the HV socket-connector. One opening of the HV socket-connector is plugged on the plug of the HV plug-connector to align the conductive core with a center line of a second channel. An electric connection is created between the cable lug and the conductive core.

  • Publication number: 20240080524
    Abstract: A method and system for redacting digital content are disclosed. The system includes an identification server and an inspection engine. The server is configured to receive a content request originating from a user device and to identify a user account associated with the content request. The server is further configured to tag the content request with a restriction identifier which is indicative of a restriction level of a user of the user device. The engine is configured to analyse visual content forming part of digital content requested by way of the content request before the digital content is transmitted to the user device. A result of the analysis performed by the inspection engine is used to determine whether the visual content is undesirable based on the restriction parameter. If classified as undesirable, the digital content or part thereof is redacted or censored before transmission thereof to the user device.

  • Patent number: 11758839
    Abstract: A method teaches at least one section of a delimiting border of a land area for a green area maintenance system. The green area maintenance system has: an autonomous mobile green area maintenance robot, and a robot position determining system. The robot position determining system is designed to detect robot position coordinates of the green area maintenance robot. The robot position coordinates are based on a first position determining technology. The method (a) defines a sequence of teach-in position coordinates of the section, the teach-in position coordinates being based on a second position determining technology different from the first position determining technology, and (b) transforms the defined sequence of teach-in position coordinates into a sequence of transformation robot position coordinates, the transformation robot position coordinates being based on the first position determining technology.

  • Patent number: 11358198
    Abstract: An efficient method for producing spring strut forks for motor vehicles is presented. In each case two spring strut forks are produced from a metallic extruded profile as a starting product. The extruded profile has a central, middle main chamber and four longitudinal chambers which are arranged offset with respect to one another over the circumference of the main chamber. Wall portions of the main chamber which are situated between the longitudinal chambers are removed, and the extruded profile is severed into two semifinished parts. Each semifinished part has one cylinder portion and two oppositely situated arm portions which project relative to the cylinder portions. The semifinished parts are subsequently mechanically machined, and one spring strut fork is produced from each semifinished part.
