20090261107 | MOTOR VEHICLE WITH A GAS TANK - The invention proposes a vehicle ( | 10-22-2009 |
20090305100 | FUEL CELL ASSEMBLY - The present invention relates to a fuel cell assembly having a fuel cell and an actuating element, which is activated by a control unit, for bringing residual gas out of a fuel flow of the fuel cell. The invention is provided with the control unit having an open-loop and/or closed-loop control system which takes into consideration the fuel concentration in the fuel flow. | 12-10-2009 |
20100006454 | GAS ABSORPTION RESERVOIR WITH OPTIMIZED COOLING - The invention relates to a fuel reservoir for gaseous fuel in a vehicle, in particular a sorption reservoir. The fuel reservoir is delimited by at least one wall and includes a sorption material that is contained in its interior. The fuel reservoir has a tank inlet valve containing a shut-off valve and a throttle restriction valve. The restriction of the gaseous fuel takes place inside the fuel reservoir. | 01-14-2010 |
20100089070 | Fluid Reservoir with Thermal Management - The invention relates to a fluid reservoir, particularly a fluid reservoir with a sorption medium. According to the invention an improvement is provided by a device for the temperature control of the fluid reservoir. | 04-15-2010 |
20100108542 | FLUID RESERVOIR HAVING A GAS SENSOR AND A FILTER - The invention relates to a fluid reservoir ( | 05-06-2010 |
20100162792 | METHOD FOR DETECTING IMPURITIES IN A GAS TANK - The invention relates to a method for detecting impurities in a gas tank having a predefined tank nominal volume, which method includes at least one of the following steps: (a) determining a theoretical pressure drop in the gas tank from a quantity of gas which is actually extracted, and comparing said theoretical pressure drop with a measured pressure drop in the gas tank, wherein a higher measured pressure drop indicates the presence of impurities; and (b) determining a gas volume which is theoretically present in the gas tank from the measured pressure and measured temperature in the gas tank, and comparing the gas volume which is theoretically present in the gas tank with the tank nominal volume in order to determine a volume taken up by impurities which are present. | 07-01-2010 |
20100257873 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE WITHDRAWAL OF GAS - The invention relates to a method for controlling the withdrawal of gas from a sorption reservoir. The temperature in the sorption reservoir having a decreasing amount of gas therein is increased until a maximum acceptable temperature is reached such that a predetermined minimum pressure in the sorption reservoir does not fall below that threshold. The invention also relates to a device for storing at least one gas, having a sorption reservoir that has at least one attachment via which the sorption reservoir can be filled with gas or via which gas can be withdrawn from the sorption reservoir. The invention also relates to a device having at least one heating element which can warm the sorption reservoir, also a control system that can increase the temperature in the sorption reservoir when withdrawing the gas in such a manner that a predetermined minimum temperature in the sorption reservoir is not fallen below in order to attain a maximum acceptable pressure. | 10-14-2010 |
20100287078 | ACCUMULATOR FOR PASSENGER CARS AND COMMERCIAL VEHICLES - An accumulator for passenger cars or commercial vehicles, including a device for storing electric energy, two electric connecting devices, in particular connecting contacts, for electrically connecting the device for storing electric energy to an electric drive motor, provides a financial incentive for the user for moderate handling of the accumulator. Such a task is achieved in that at least one sensor is configured for detecting measurement data in regard to the electric current and/or the electric voltage of the accumulator taken from and/or fed to the accumulator and/or the temperature of the accumulator and/or the installation time and/or the electric current time of the accumulator. | 11-11-2010 |
20120179280 | Pedestrian Warning System for an Electric or Hybrid Vehicle - A system is disclosed for warning at least one person in the vicinity of a motor vehicle, particularly an electric vehicle or a hybrid vehicle. The system includes at least one generator for generating an audio signal, a device for switching the generator on and off and/or for controlling the volume of the audio signal. At least one person and/or an object in the vicinity of the motor vehicle can be captured by a person-detecting system, and the at least one generator can be switched on and off and/or the volume of the audio signal can be controlled by the device as a function of the at least one person and/or the object. | 07-12-2012 |
