  • Patent number: 11371426
    Abstract: The invention relates to a reciprocating piston machine, in particular with a variable compression ratio, of at least one cylinder with a piston and a connecting rod which is connected to the piston and to a crankshaft of the reciprocating piston machine. The reciprocating piston machine also has a first sensor which is arranged in a cylinder wall of the at least one cylinder and is configured to detect relative movement between a piston skirt of the piston and the cylinder wall. The invention further relates to a method (100) for diagnosing and/or controlling such a reciprocating piston machine (1), in particular with a variable compression ratio, and a system which is suitable therefor.

  • Publication number: 20150054248
    Abstract: A wheel suspension is provided for a non-motorized vehicle, in particular a pram or a bicycle trailer designed to transport children, which features a chassis (1) and at least two wheels (8), which are each mounted on a wheel swing arm (11, 15). For each wheel swing arm (11, 15) at least one elastic element (21) is provided, whereby the wheel swing arm (11, 15) supports itself via the chassis (1). In order to provide a wheel suspension of this kind which is based on a simple construction and enables an optimum level of suspension and shock-absorption for the non-motorized vehicle: (a.) the elastic element (21) is made of at least one dimensionally stable flexible polyurethane foam material, and/or (b.) both wheel swing arms (11, 15) protrude laterally over the chassis (1) and can be pivoted past a lateral frame section (3, 4) of the chassis (1).
