Patent number: 10752062Abstract: A system for indirectly monitoring the inflation pressure of pneumatic-tyred vehicle wheels, and also to a wheel. The wheel is having a wheel body with a rim part and a disc part, and a tyre detachably fitted on the rim part of the wheel body. The wheel comprises at least one deformation sensor for sensing the tyre inflation pressure at the time, and the system comprises a data transmission device for transmitting sensor signals of the at least one sensor to an evaluation device, and an evaluation device for evaluating the sensor signals. In order to provide a system and vehicle wheels that are simplified in comparison with the tyre pressure monitoring system previously used, the deformation sensor is fitted on the wheel body and is usable or used for sensing inflation-pressure-dependent deformations of the wheel body.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2014Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: Hayes Lemmerz Holding GmbHInventors: Karl Rode, Uwe Gohrbandt, Volker Weber

Patent number: 8050877Abstract: A method for the determination of the electrical work in systems in which the voltage is switched. At preset times for this purpose current values are measured and interpolated between the measurement. With the help of the switched voltage a classification of each interpolated current path is performed. The interpolated current value is then multiplied or integrated by the voltage value/values between the preset times respectively for the determination of the work. Along with the electrical work moreover in accordance with a further method similarly the electrical power in such systems can be determined.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2008Date of Patent: November 1, 2011Assignee: Voith Patent GmbHInventors: Andreas Lange, Rolf Hoffmann, Volker Weber, Bernhard Läng

Patent number: 6178891Abstract: The invention involves a suspended trolley line, particularly an electric monorail line with at least one undercarriage movable along running rails and with a running wheel that may be driven along the rail. At least two frictional wheels are spaced from each other and positioned on the running wheel. The frictional wheels are guided on the undercarriage by a connecting element and are braced against each other by a spring element, such that the frictional wheels additionally contact the supplemental rail and impinge upon the running wheel with pressure when in an operating position. The supplemental rail is located at least partially parallel to the running rail and spaced therefrom. The driven undercarriage is simple in its construction and has improved traction characteristics and therefore is particularly capable of being used in ascending and descending sections of the trolley line. The frictional wheels, the connecting element and the spring element form an assembly unit lying on the running wheel.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 1999Date of Patent: January 30, 2001Assignee: Mannesmann AktiengesellschaftInventors: R{umlaut over (u)}diger Ostholt, Sigurd Volker Weber

Patent number: 5364673Abstract: The plate-shaped component (1) has a sealing (2) surrounding its side faces (2a) and is easily exchangeable. The surrounding sealing (2) is an integral part of component (1) and has varying thicknesses along its length. This allows compensating for dimensional variations of the plate-shaped component (1) by suitable production processes, such as casting or spraying, and keeping the fixed external dimensions of the component (1) surrounded by sealing (2). An overhanging area (3), positioned on component (1) and surrounded by sealing material, serves as a stop and permits component (1) to be flush-mounted in a housing (7) from the inside. A wedge-shaped elevation (4) of sealing material, which acts as a pinch or fold and is positioned in the overhanging area (3), improves the flush mounting still further. For outdoor installation, the plate-shaped component (1) may be additionally provided with heating as well as temperature measuring means (5, 8).Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 1992Date of Patent: November 15, 1994Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Manfred Schmidt, Klaus Staudenmaier, Joachim Schnee, Walter Mannsdoerfer, Volker Weber
