Abstract: A method for designing, configuring and maintaining a drive device with a central database provided for application programs used for designing, configuring and maintaining the drive device. Data are stored in the central database as temporal data and can be read and supplemented by the application programs. Configuration rules, dependent on the life cycle phase of the drive device, for an execution and/or an extent of a configuration change to the configuration of the drive device are defined.

Abstract: In a method for operating an electric machine a first test signal is fed into the electric machine and a first response signal of the electric machine is measured. A first state variable for a rotor of a synchronous reluctance motor of the electric machine is determined as a function of the first response signal, and a second state variable for the rotor of the synchronous reluctance motor is determined. The first state variable and the second state variable are evaluated together.

Abstract: A synchronous reluctance motor includes a stator and a rotor, where a laminate section of the rotor has flux barriers, and where the rotor is formed with a high number of poles.

Abstract: A vehicle door with a door casing includes an inside door panel (1) of a shell-like design. The inside door panel (1) is closed by a replaceable outside door shell (2) toward the outside of the vehicle door. To achieve that moisture is prevented in a simple manner from entering the interior space of the vehicle from the door casing, the inside door panel (1) is connected from its side facing the outer shell (2) to a plastic support part. The plastic part is provided with fastening elements (13), which carry the door components to be arranged in the door casing. The structural elements (9, 10, 10′) of the vehicle door, which protrude into the interior space of the vehicle, are fastened to the inside door panel (1). The openings (5, 6) necessary in the inside door panel (1) for the structural elements (9, 10, 10′) protruding into the interior space of the vehicle are sealed, e.g., by the plastic support part (8).
