摘要:
A device for measuring weight in a vehicle includes an expansion unit which becomes elongated under the influence of the weight being measured, and a sensor system which determines the elongation through a transit time measurement. Ultrasonic pulses are used for the transit time measurement.

A receiving antenna with a rigid directional pattern, that is to say with an anisotropic receiving sensitivity of the receiving antenna, is used for localizing a wheel electronics unit in a wheel of the motor vehicle. Suitable evaluation of the received electromagnetic signals is provided in order to obtain a functionality achieved by way of the displacement or rotation of the directional antenna in the case of prior solutions. In this respect, a level of the received electromagnetic signal is compared with a predefined threshold value. As the result of the comparison, the wheel electronics unit is localized as being arranged in a wheel of the first wheel group or as being arranged in a wheel of the second wheel group.
摘要:
A device and a method for determining a wheel position on a vehicle, for example an automobile. Long-wave antennae of a vehicle access system already present in the vehicle transmit a signal, which is measured by a long-wave receive unit of a tire electronic system and used to detect the position of the wheel on the vehicle. The electrical or magnetic receive field strength of the signal of a specific long-wave antenna for example is in particular detected by a tire electronic system and used to determine the position of the wheel on the vehicle.
摘要:
A method for joining a silicon plate to a second plate, a laser beam being directed through the silicon plate at the second plate. In the process, the wavelength of the laser beam is selected in such a way that only a negligibly small amount of energy is absorbed in the silicon plate. A strongly absorbent material is hotmelted by the laser beam's energy and then produces a bond between the silicon plate and the second plate.

A micromechanical component having a diaphragm is provided, the structure of which effectively prevents the penetration of dirt particles into the cavity. A method for manufacturing such a component is also provided. The structure of the component is implemented in a layer structure which includes at least one first sacrificial layer and a layer system over the first sacrificial layer. A cavity is formed in the first sacrificial layer underneath the diaphragm. In the region of the diaphragm between the upper layer and the lower layer of the layer system situated directly above the first sacrificial layer, at least one access channel to the cavity is formed which has at least one opening in the upper layer and at least one opening in the lower layer, the opening in the upper layer and the opening in the lower layer being offset with respect to each other.
摘要:
Double ended wire guides are manufactured so that either end, or both ends sequentially, may be inserted into a patient. The ends are different, so that the inventory requirements of wire guides are minimized. For example, a wire guide may have a straight end and an angled end, either end suitable for use on the patient. The wire guides may also differ in other characteristics, such as the stiffness or the diameters of the distal and proximal portions. The wire guide may also be stored in a package, the package including a fitting so that wetting solution may be injected into the package to wet the wire guide and prepare it for use.

A micromechanical cap structure and a corresponding manufacturing method are described. The micromechanical cap structure includes a first wafer with a micromechanical functional structure, and a second wafer to form a cap over the micromechanical functional structure. The first and second wafers have in their interior a support structure with a metal-semiconductor contact, and in their edge zone a bonding structure. The edge zone of the second wafer, when in the capped state, is arched in relation to the interior of the second wafer.

A retrieval device for use in renal, biliary, vascular or other systems of a body includes a collapsible basket in a narrow sheath. A surgeon advances the device beyond an object to be removed from a body, such as a kidneystone, a gallstone, or a thrombus. The surgeon then retracts the sheath or advances the basket from the sheath. The basket deploys only to one side of the sheath. In some embodiments, the periphery of the basket has a flex point to enable the basket to easily collapse into the sheath. If the sheath is adjacent a body vessel, such as a blood vessel or a ureter, the sheath remains adjacent the wall, while the device deploys in such a manner as to seal against the walls of the vessel and block the flow of fragments, emboli, thrombi, or other undesirable objects.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an acceleration sensor including an oscillating structure which is movably suspended on a substrate and deflectable in response to the action of an acceleration, a plane of oscillation of the oscillating structure being essentially parallel to a substrate plane, and further including evaluation arrangements for measuring a deflection of the oscillating structure due to acceleration. In this context, provision is made for stop arrangements which limit a deflection movement of the oscillating structure in a direction essentially perpendicular to the plane of oscillation (x-, y-plane) of the oscillating structure.
摘要:
A II-VI semiconductor component is produced with an active layer sequence having at least one II-VI semiconductor layer containing Se and/or S on a substrate. First, an Se-free II-VI interlayer based on BeTe is grown epitaxially on the substrate in an essentially Se-free and S-free first epitaxy chamber. The active layer sequence is then grown epitaxially on the Se-free II-VI semiconductor layer.
