Abstract:
A housing for an electronic component is described, in particular a Gunn element for generating radar waves, including a bottom part, a wall part made of a plastic that can be processed by injection molding in particular and a cover part enclosing the electronic component in the installed state. The cover part has a contact spring for establishing an electric connection to a terminal of the component. In addition, the wall part is connected to the cover part by at least one connecting structure.
Abstract:
A liquid filter (10) with a built-in pressure regulator (11) for fuel is proposed, wherein the pressure regulator (11) with its diaphragm (41) is built on the housing (12) on a component (18) on the front with at least one connection (19). The disk-shaped diaphragm (41) has a single clamping site (39) on its external circumference and a centrally arranged movable closure closure member (42). The diaphragm (41) is acted upon by pressure in a pressure chamber (45) connected with the clean side against the force of a spring (49) in a gas-filled spring chamber (48). The integration of the pressure regulator (11) in the housing (12) permits a simple, compact, cost-effective construction of the liquid filter (10), through whose valve (44) in the pressure regulator (11) only cleaned fuel flows and which is insensitive to backpressure in the tank connection (17).
Abstract:
A motor vehicle radar system in which the position of the transmission/reception elements of the radar system can be changed relative to a focusing element, such as an antenna lens, in order to adjust the principal beam direction.
Abstract:
An arrangement for supplying fuel to an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle has a supply tank, an aggregate which is located in the supply tank and a fuel delivery unit for supplying fuel from the supply tank to the internal combustion engine. The aggregate has a plurality of components extending along a delivery path of the fuel, is located in the supply tank, and is provided with a supporting element which carries a holding member for the components of the aggregate.
Abstract:
A safety device for motor vehicles includes an impact detection system and a triggering device for triggering a braking operation as a function of a signal of the impact detection system characterized in that the triggering device is designed for the purpose of triggering the braking operation when the impact detection system indicates the beginning of an impact.
Abstract:
A method and device for influencing the longitudinal velocity of a motor vehicle, in which a setpoint minimum distance and/or a setpoint maximum velocity is presettable by the driver, the driver being able to influence the vehicle velocity via the accelerator pedal and/or brake pedal, and in which the distance from a vehicle traveling ahead is measured by a distance-measuring sensor and, if the setpoint minimum distance is undershot and/or the setpoint maximum velocity is exceeded by the vehicle velocity, the vehicle velocity is limited so that the setpoint minimum distance is not undershot and/or the setpoint maximum velocity is not exceeded. This function is provided, in particular, in connection with an adaptive distance and cruise control system, the driver being able to activate either the adaptive distance and cruise control system or the limiting function.
Abstract:
A driver assistance system for motor vehicles has a sensor device for measuring data about the environment of the vehicle, at least two assistance functions, and a data processing device, which analyzes the measured data and generates at least one specific environmental hypothesis for each assistance function, which provides output data in a form prepared for the corresponding assistance function, at least one environmental hypothesis which has a structure divided into a plurality of partial hypotheses being predefined in the data processing device, and the partial hypotheses having such a logical relationship with one another that output data of one partial hypothesis flow into the generation of the other partial hypothesis, and at least two assistance functions directly or indirectly use a shared partial hypothesis.
Abstract:
A radar sensor for motor vehicles, including at least one transmitter and receiver device for transmitting and receiving a frequency-modulated radar signal, an analyzer unit for computing the distances and relative velocities of the located objects, and an integrated Doppler radar system for independent measurement of the relative velocities.
Abstract:
A method and a device for warning the driver of a motor vehicle. An object detector is provided, which detects preceding vehicles and ascertains their distance and relative velocity with respect to the host vehicle and supplies these to an evaluation device. The evaluation device assumes that the preceding vehicle would perform a deceleration and ascertains as a further function of the variables measured by the object detector and the driver's reaction time and the host vehicle's maximum possible deceleration whether a collision with the preceding vehicle would be avoidable. If an unavoidability of a collision is recognized, then a driver warning device is activated.
Abstract:
A support for a focusing component is described, in which the component is attached via fasteners to an object and carries elements which may be focused in a preset signal axis. A support plate, which has flexible clips via which the mechanical contact between the component and the object is produced, and which produces the mechanical contact between the component and the object and therefore allows high tolerance compensation of the component during operation, is mounted between the component and the object to which it is attachable.
