Title: A controller and method for energy dissipation
Filed: 2011-09-13
Abstract: An electric vehicle 100 comprises four wheels having in-wheel electric motors 101 that provide mechanical drive and regenerative brake torque to a respective wheel, a battery 120, and a vehicle controller 150 coupled a master cylinder assembly 140 operated by a brake pedal 130. During regenerative braking, if the battery 120 cannot receive all of the current produced by the rear motors the controller 150 controls the front motors to consume this current to generate mechanical drive power. To counteract this drive power the controller 150 increases a braking torque generated by friction brakes located at the front of the vehicle 100 so as to dissipate energy resulting from the drive power produced by the front motors. The friction brakes are arranged to provide addition braking torque if the torque demand cannot be handled by the regenerative braking torque capabilities of the electric motors.

Title: Flyback converter device
Inventor: PERUTH GUNTHER DIPL ING
IPC: H02M3/338
Filed: 1984-08-08
Granted: 1987-08-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a blocking oscillator switched mode power supply which is supplied with a primary voltage Up obtained by rectification of the AC line voltage. Because the line voltage varies, the secondary voltage which supplies electrical equipment is stabilized by means of a switched mode power supply. The maximum power from the supply generally depends on the primary voltage Up. The present invention has the objective of eliminating this disadvantage of the known switched mode power supplies. To this end, according to the invention, a correction circuit actuated via a voltage divided is provided, the voltage divider being connected to the primary voltage Up. The correction circuit is designed so that it keeps the breakpoint of the secondary current Is constant. It is thus possible to economize on the normally required overdimensioning of certain parts of the circuit, especially of the transformer, converter, and switching transistor, while on the other hand the invention can be realized at little cost.

Title: Pipe coupling
Inventor: STRAUB IMMANUEL
IPC: F16L21/02
Filed: 1986-05-15
Granted: 1988-10-06
Abstract: A pipe coupling comprising a housing which can be clamped about pipe ends which are to be interconnected possesses radially inwardly flexed end flanges. The housing encloses an inwardly open sealing gasket having a substantially C-shaped axial cross-sectional configuration made from an elastomeric material such as synthetic rubber. Both ends of this sealing gasket are supported upon the inner or confronting jacket surface of a respective truncated cone-shaped clamping ring. These clamping rings are supported in the housing at the region of their outer edge or outer region by means of the end flanges. The inner edge or inner region of these clamping rings is structured to mechanically engage or dig into the surface of the pipe ends during clamping of the housing. The inner edge or inner region of the clamping rings possesses a concave profile in order to reduce, on the one hand, the necessary force required during clamping of the housing for digging the inner edge or inner region into the pipe ends and, on the other hand, to clearly limit the depth to which the inner edge or inner region penetrates into the pipe ends.

Abstract: An electromechanical device for activating a rotating post that moves the leaf of a swinging door on a vehicle, especially a mass-transit vehicle. An electric motor activates the column by means of an intermediate worm gear. The motor outtake shaft is coupled to the worm-gear intake shaft. A worm wheel is coupled to the worm-gear outtake shaft, which activates the rotating post. The electromechanical activating device contains an emergency mechanism for uncoupling the worm-gear outtake shaft from the worm wheel in relation to their rotation. The mechanism incorporates a coupling that can be disengaged between the outtake shaft and the worm wheel, which is mounted over it coaxially. The mechanism also involves several balls situated such that they can be forced into recesses in the outtake shaft while simultaneously engaging axial grooves in the inner surface of the worm wheel. The end of the outtake shaft that is remote from the rotating post has an axial bore that the recesses lead into and that accommodates a cylindrical slide. The balls rest against the surface of the slide. The slide has an initial longitudinal section with a diameter that ensures that a prescribed volume of each ball will project out of the recesses. The slide also has an adjacent longitudinal section with a diameter that continuously decreases to a length such that the balls will completely enter the recesses. A mechanism displaces the slide to a prescribed extent against the force of a compression spring.
