  • Publication number: 20240141990
    Abstract: A transmission device (5) for an electrically drivable vehicle axle (1) includes a transmission input shaft (7), a transmission output shaft (10) connected thereto via gear-wheel pairs (8, 9), and a parking lock device (15). The parking lock device (15) is arranged in a transmission housing (11) and includes an electric actuator (16) for actuating a locking pawl (18) engageable with a parking interlock gear (19) operatively connected to the transmission output shaft (10). The locking pawl and the parking interlock gear (19) are arranged in an interior space (14) of the transmission housing (11) that is acted upon by oil, and the electric actuator (16) is arranged in an oil-free interior space (13) of the transmission housing (11). The output shaft (21) of the electric actuator (16) extends through an intermediate wall (12) and is operatively connected to the locking pawl.

  • Patent number: 11089895
    Abstract: In the state of the art, numerous trays are known, so as to protect clothing from crumbs or droplets that fall down when eating a meal during a car ride or train ride. It is true that these trays catch everything, as desired, but for the remainder they are quite impractical, since the open tray with the droplets or crumbs stands in the car or train and must be cleaned before being stowed away or is actually only available as a disposable solution. Other solutions are too large to be conveniently stowed away after use. For this reason, a foldable tray is proposed, which can be folded up in sealed manner after use, into a compact unit, without the crumbs or droplets being able to exit from the unit. This is possible by means of division of a base plate having a connected apron, wherein the base plate consists of two parts that can be folded up, between which the apron can be laid.

  • Patent number: 10699480
    Abstract: A system constructs a positional contour of a variably contoured surface using data from a 3D capture device. A processor captures data from a tangential orientation capture device and produces a set of relative orientations. The set of relative orientations is transformed with a set of orientation manifold transformer parameters to produce a set of low dimensional orientations. The set of low dimensional orientations and a trained mapping function definition are used to produce a low dimensional point cloud. The low dimensional point cloud is transformed with a set of point cloud manifold transformer parameters, producing a reconstructed synchronized rotationally invariant point cloud.

  • Publication number: 20180204379
    Abstract: A system and method for reconstructing a positional contour of a variably contoured surface includes a plurality of positional sensors and a plurality of orientation sensor disposed upon the surface, a processor and a memory. The system captures a positional description of the surface and produces a rotationally-invariant point cloud, and captures a first absolute orientation description of the surface and produces a first set of relative orientations. The first rotationally-invariant point cloud is resampled with respect to the orientation description to produce a first synchronized rotationally-invariant point cloud. The first set of relative orientations and the first synchronized rotationally-invariant point cloud are transformed to produce respective sets of dimensional representations and manifold transformer parameters, which are mapped to produce a trained mapping function definition.

  • Patent number: 7515006
    Abstract: An LC resonator (117; 122) for a voltage controlled oscillator (13; 116) has an inductive transmission line 31; 51), and input and output ports (33a-b; 53a-b) connected to the transmission line, wherein the transmission line is grounded (G) in at least one end portion thereof. The inductive transmission line has a plurality of connection ports (P) that are capable of being connected to each other or to ground in order to tune the resonance frequency of the LC resonator from one frequency band to another. Further, a trimming capacitor (C) may be interconnected in the transmission line in order to further tune the resonance frequency of the LC resonator. Preferably, the LC resonator is formed as a microstrip or strip line structure in essentially a C or S shape on a laminate substrate (101-103).

  • Patent number: 6553379
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an address storage device for a vehicle, particularly a motor vehicle, with several apparatuses using at least parts of address data, the address storage device comprising a storage unit for storing address data and a storage unit interface. Each apparatus is assigned to an application interface, wherein each application interface communicates with the storage unit interface and—if required—reads out at least parts of address data stored in the storage unit and uses them during operation of the apparatus, so that the address data stored centrally in the storage unit are available to the apparatuses commonly.
