  • Patent number: 7916491
    Abstract: An electronic control unit includes: a printed circuit board, which supports an electric circuit, a plurality of electronic components electrically connected to the electric circuit, and at least one connector electrically connected to the electrical circuit. A housing accommodates therein the printed circuit board and comprises a base which supports the printed circuit board and a lid which closes over the base. At least one deformable, elastic, expanded blocking block is fixed to an internal surface of the lid near at least one electronic component, has sufficient thickness to vertically interfere with the first electronic component to be compressed between the lid and the first electronic component. It presents a larger area than the first electronic component to laterally encompass the first electronic component.

  • Patent number: 7905218
    Abstract: An intake manifold with integrated canister circuit for a supercharged internal combustion engine. The intake manifold includes a tubular body in which a plenum is defined. A sorting chamber is in a wall of the tubular body. A canister solenoid valve is arranged in the sorting chamber and is adapted to adjust the introduction of gasoline vapors into the sorting chamber itself. A first pipe in the wall of the tubular body puts the sorting chamber into communication with the plenum, and defines a first branch of a recovery pipe. A one-way valve is arranged in the sorting chamber at the first pipe. A second pipe in the wall of the tubular body puts the sorting chamber into communication with the intake pipe upstream of a compressor, and defines an initial portion of a second branch of the recovery pipe.
