20110068109FUEL TANK SUPPORT - An endoskeleton to support a fuel tank body and establish a fuel tank. The endoskeleton may include columns to support fuel system components, first and second beams staggered with respect to one another and having tank contact portions attachable to the tank body, and walls extending between adjacent first and second beams to baffle fuel and to yieldably restrain movement of the body. The fuel tank body may have a wall thickness of about 2 to 4 mm, and a combined weight of the tank body and the endoskeleton may be less than a weight of the fuel tank if the body were about 4 to 6 mm in wall thickness. Also, an endoskeleton-to-tank body contact surface area ratio may be greater than about 4% of a total interior surface area of the tank body. Further, fuel tank may include a strength to weight ratio greater than 250 l-mbar/kg.03-24-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090248267METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DISTANCE REGULATION OF A MOTOR VEHICLE - A method and a device are provided for distance regulation of a motor vehicle equipped with an object detection sensor which detects objects located in front and regulates the velocity of the host vehicle in the sense of distance regulation, the distance control system being able to brake the host vehicle to a standstill. If objects are no longer detected during the stopping process due to the fact that they are located within the invisible region in the immediate vicinity of the object detection sensor, object positions relating to the objects detected earlier are stored, and a starting process of the vehicle resulting from the driver's intention to start, implemented via an actuation and/or confirmation element, is prevented until the object is detected again. The restarting process is not prevented when a turning maneuver of the object located in front has been detected due to the fact that the absolute value of the transverse offset of the object located in front exceeds a predetermined threshold value.10-01-2009
20090278672Driver assistance system having a device for recognizing stationary objects - A driver assistance system for motor vehicles, having a localization system for localizing objects in the surroundings of the vehicle and having a device for recognizing stationary objects by comparing the difference between the relative motion of the object and the inherent motion of the vehicle with a threshold value, wherein the device is embodied to vary the threshold value as a function of variables that influence the accuracy with which the relative and inherent motions are determined.11-12-2009
20090299598Adaptive Cruise Control Featuring Detection of a Traffic Jam - An adaptive cruise control for motor vehicles, having a sensor system for locating preceding vehicles and a controller which regulates the speed of the vehicle and/or the clearance from a preceding vehicle, based on specified control parameters, and having a traffic jam detection device and a specification device for adjusting the control parameters to a detected traffic jam situation. In response to a detected traffic jam, as differentiated, for instance, from a red traffic light, startup instructions can be suppressed, and, in particular, the setpoint acceleration of the vehicle can be reduced.12-03-2009
20100299043Method and Device for Regulating the Speed of a Motor Vehicle - For regulating the speed of a motor vehicle, a control apparatus is equipped with an object detection system, and the reference speed is determined as a function of at least one preceding vehicle in the evaluation region of the object detection system, such that upon recognition of an imminent lane change by the regulated vehicle, vehicles in the adjacent destination lane are additionally taken into consideration for calculation of the reference speed by expanding the evaluation region in the direction of the destination lane, and consideration is given only to vehicles in the destination lane whose distance from the regulated vehicle is less than a predetermined distance value.11-25-2010

20110070755METAL PROTECTIVE GROUND CONDUCTOR CONNECTION DEVICE - A ground conductor includes a conductor body formed from a sheet of conductive metal material of a given thickness, the conductor body having a horizontal base portion, and a pair of downwardly extending vertical leg portions that contain opposed mounting rail cavities that terminate at one end in a pair of flange recesses. A vertical tongue portion extends downwardly from the conductor body transversely across the leg portions at the other end of the cavities, the tongue portion having a width that is greater than the thickness of the metal sheet. When the conductor body is mounted on the mounting rail with one flange extending within the recesses, a spring biases the conductor body in a direction to effect electrical engagement between the other rail flange portion and the adjacent surface of the tongue portion.03-24-2011

20090000466METHOD TO ACTIVELY TRIGGER A SERVO VALVE - A method to actively trigger a servo valve of a hydraulic power steering system is disclosed herein. In the method, a present steering wheel torque is ascertained by a sensor. The method also includes the step of a desired rack-and-pinion force offset is specified. The method also includes the step of a desired steering wheel torque offset is specified. The method also includes the step of a desired shape of a power steering characteristic curve is specified. On the basis of the specified offset values, the ascertained steering wheel torque and the specified shape of the power steering characteristic curve, a setpoint is ascertained for a differential pressure at a hydraulic cylinder of the power steering system. Based on the steering wheel torque and on the setpoint for the differential pressure at the hydraulic cylinder, a setpoint is ascertained for a setting angle (φ) of a valve component. The method also includes the step of rotating an appropriate valve component of the servo valve until the setpoint of the setting angle of the valve component is reached.01-01-2009
