摘要： An ultrasonic transducer for use in a fluid medium includes at least one transducer core having at least one electroacoustic transducer element, and further includes at least one housing having at least two housing parts. At least one first housing part at least partially encloses the transducer core such that a rear side of the electroacoustic transducer element which faces away from the fluid medium is accessible. Furthermore, at least one second housing part is connected to the first housing part. The ultrasonic transducer is essentially terminated by the second housing part on its side, which faces away from the fluid medium.

摘要： A method and a computer system for operating at least two interconnected control units. The control units access sensor data and each execute at least one computer program for controlling operational sequences, in particular in a vehicle. The control units exchange synchronization information with one another. In order to design and refine a computer system in a way that will enable even especially complex operational sequences, as required in a modern motor vehicle, for example, to be controlled and/or regulated simply and cost-effectively with the aid of the computer system, using conventional control units, the control units execute the same computer program time-synchronously using a settable time lag.

摘要： Measuring volume flows or mass flows in the intake system of motor vehicle internal combustion engines plays an important role in reducing harmful emissions. Therefore, an ultrasonic flow meter for measuring a flow velocity of a fluid flowing in an essentially laminar flow in the main flow direction is described. The ultrasonic flow meter has at least two ultrasonic transducers, the ultrasonic transducers being able to emit and/or receive ultrasonic waves at an angle α to the main flow direction which is different from 90°. Furthermore, the ultrasonic flow meter has at least one turbulator situated upstream from at least one ultrasonic transducer in the main flow direction of the fluid, which generates longitudinal eddies in at least one zone adjacent to the at least one ultrasonic transducer, in particular in a protrusion in a wall of a flow pipe and thus improves the flow of the fluid in this zone in the flow pipe. Wedge-shaped turbulators protruding into the flow of the fluid or flow grooves are provided in particular as turbulators. The ultrasonic flow meter is distinguished, in comparison with devices known from the related art, by improved signal-to-noise ratio and thus by higher measurement accuracy.
