Abstract: A method and an apparatus for controlling driving power from a powertrain of a motor vehicle comprising a kickdown switch, wherein an activation of the kickdown switch triggers a default action of temporarily requesting an increase of a maximum power available from the powertrain, the method comprising: recognizing that a speed limiter, setting an upper speed limit for the vehicle speed, is active, comparing a current vehicle speed to a predefined speed threshold, which is below the upper speed limit, and if the current vehicle speed is above the speed threshold and the speed limiter is active, triggering an altered action in response to the activation of the kickdown switch.

Abstract: The connecting rod includes a first portion of the connecting rod to be mounted on the eccentric pin of a crankshaft of the compressor and a second portion of the connecting rod to be articulated in a reciprocating piston within a cylinder. One of the first and second portions of the connecting rod includes a tubular stem portion that receives, telescopically and loosely, and retains, by radial inward deformation, a portion of the engagement stem of the other portion of the connecting rod, said stem portions being held together, in an axial and rotational alignment condition, before being attached by a fixation mean in a relative axial positioning, which results in a portion of the compression chamber and a respective portion of dead volume in the condition of upper dead point of the piston.

Abstract: The present invention refers to a stator blade (10) for an electric motor that comprises a central hole (20), a plurality of grooves (30) spaced around the hole (20), and a plurality of teeth (50) formed between two consecutive grooves (30). The corners (35a, 35b, 35c, 35d) formed between the edges of the groove (30e and 30a, 30e and 30b, 30b and 30d, and 30c and 30a) the rounding radiuses and the angles formed by these edges being acute angles. The teeth (50) present two side edges slanted together (50a, 50b) defined by the side edges (30b and 30a) of two consecutive grooves.

Abstract: An electric connector for the motor of a hermatic compressor, comprising an electric insulating body seated against the stack of lamination (6) of the stator of the electric motor, and carrying a plurality of binding posts (22), which receive and affix respective wires from the coil windings (7) of said stator of the electric motor; contact terminals, eletrically connected to the binding posts (22), and which will be connected to the hermetic compressor, by respective conductors (30); and at least one fixation means (23), which is fitted and immobilized in a retaining bore (11) provided in the stack of lamination (6) of the stator.
