Patent number: 10718335Abstract: A turbomachine includes a housing and an electric motor in the housing. The electric motor has a shaft, a stator, and a rotor on the shaft. At least one impeller is arranged in a pump housing and driven by the shaft, the impeller having at least one ring of rotor blades delimiting a ring of blade chambers. A side channel is arranged in the pump housing opposite the ring of blade chambers and extends from the pump inlet as far as the pump outlet. A ramp is arranged at an end of the side channel in a radially inner half of the side channel. The ramp starts from a channel bottom, rises in a flow direction as far as the height of the pump housing wall, and merges with its radially outer half into the pump outlet.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2013Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: Continental Automotive GmbHInventors: Klaus-Werner Bender, Peter Köppler

Patent number: 10563572Abstract: A charging device for an internal combustion engine, having an exhaust turbocharger and a recuperation-charger having a compressor-turbine and an electromechanical motor-generator coupled thereto. The high-pressure side of the compressor-turbine is connectable, by a valve arrangement, to the outside air supply line before the exhaust turbocharger on one side and on the other side, to the charge air supply line after the exhaust turbocharger. Outside air can be suctioned or charge air blasted via the low-pressure side of the compressor-turbine. The recuperation-charger is switched, by the valve arrangement and the motor-generator, between a standard mode, an amplifier mode and a recuperation mode, wherein the recuperation-charger operates on one side in the amplifier mode, driven by the motor-generator, as a compressor for pressure increase in the outside air supply line or, on another side, driven by the charge air flow, acts as a turbine for energy recovery by the motor-generator.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2017Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: Vitesco Technologies GmbHInventors: Hong Zhang, Werner Bender

Patent number: 8581858Abstract: A touch pad arrangement having a touch pad which has a sensitive operating surface and which can be moved in a direction of movement by a guide mechanism in a guided manner without tipping between a raised resting position and a lowered position. A lever mechanism is arranged on at least two side areas of the touch pad lying opposite each other. The lever mechanism includes two levers which extend approximately toward each other along their own axes, and which are pivotably mounted in the center of their length about a fixed joint with an axis which extends transversally to the direction of movement of the touch pad. The levers can be acted upon in the direction of movement of the touch pad on the lever ends facing away from each other, by the touch pad or a touch pad support supporting the touch pad, and are connected to each other on their facing ends via a flexible connection.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2008Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Continental Automotive GmbHInventors: Klaus-Werner Bender, Dieter Nau

Patent number: 5593325Abstract: A low-voltage switching apparatus that houses an electric circuit is provided with a housing subdivided into two parts, in the interior of which conductor plates are arranged. The conductor plates carry screw terminals which are directly connected with the conductor plates. The screw terminals have terminal openings which stand perpendicular to the conductor plates which are arranged parallel to a connection side of the housing. The terminal openings are accessible through connection openings provided in the connection side. Accordingly, several conductor plates can be accommodated parallel to one another in the housing and the screw terminals can be arranged directly on the conductor plates.Type: GrantFiled: January 11, 1995Date of Patent: January 14, 1997Assignee: Pilz GmbH & Co.Inventor: Werner Bender

Patent number: 4309264Abstract: The electrolysis apparatus for the manufacture of chlorine from aqueous alkali metal halide solutions has at least one electrolysis cell the electrodes of which, separated by a separating wall, are arranged in a housing of two hemispherical shells. The housing is furthermore provided with equipment for the feed of the starting materials for electrolysis, and equipment for the discharge of the electrolysis products. The separating wall is clamped by means of sealing elements between the rims of the hemispherical shells and positioned between power transmission elements of non-conductive material. The electrodes are fastened via spacers to the shells and connected mechanically and electrically with the shells via the rims thereof. The hemispherical shells of adjacent cells are positioned flatwise one upon the other, and the end positioned shells of the electrolysis apparatus are supported by pressure compensation elements.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 1980Date of Patent: January 5, 1982Assignee: Hoechst AktiengesellschaftInventors: Werner Bender, Dieter Bergner, Kurt Hannesen, Wolfgang Muller, Wilfried Schulte
