  • Publication number: 20240142279
    Abstract: A sensor assembly for a vehicle includes (i) a plug assembly which having a plug housing and at least two plug pins and forms an external interface of the sensor assembly, (ii) a circuit carrier on which an electronic circuit corresponding to a sensor concept being implemented is arranged, and (iii) a sensor housing which comprises an insertion opening. The circuit carrier is connected to the plug housing and the at least two plug pins at a first interface. The sensor housing includes a second interface having an opening via which the sensor housing can be connected to an external sensor arrangement or a cover according to the sensor concept being implemented, which covers the opening of the third interface in the unused state. The circuit carrier is inserted into the sensor housing through the insertion opening which is connected to the plug housing via a third interface. The circuit carrier is pre-fixed at an end region of the sensor housing.

  • Patent number: 6571249
    Abstract: A method, system, computer program product, server, and interface for managing query results includes receiving query results and semantic structuring information, and defining a root node corresponding to the query to which the results relate. A semantically structured tree descending from a root node has intermediate nodes in layers according to the semantic structuring information. The leaf nodes each correspond to a query result. The leaf nodes are attached to the tree based on an uptree relation. The tree has a space cube structure balanced on the basis of a semantic threshold.

  • Patent number: 6567812
    Abstract: Collected user parameters include category 210, category weight 230, and value 240 information. A search support application creates 300 a query based on the user parameters. The query is sent to structured 450 and unstructured 470 databases, and heterogeneous query results are stored 630. Stored query results are ordered in a tree-shaped hierarchy (FIG. 8). The tree-shaped hierarchy has ordered levels of nodes 710-750 with levels corresponding to categories, and nodes 1.0-3.9 corresponding to values for categories. Leaf nodes 4.0-4.15 correspond to actual results 900-915, but the intermediate nodes 1.0-4.15 correspond to conceptual or meta relationships. Display of the results is restricted using the tree-shaped hierarchy to help manage result complexity.

  • Patent number: 5748441
    Abstract: A stylus-oriented small notepad computer is provided. The notepad computer has a flat input/output display screen that can be operated by an electrical input stylus. The screen is fastened on the cover surface of a flat rectangular computer housing inside a flat frame. A hinged cover that covers the flat display screen is pivotably connected with an edge of the computer housing. A video camera is also housed inside the notepad computer. For this purpose, the pivot axle is constructed as a tube-shaped articulated axle having an interior to accept the video camera. The video camera is connected with a gooseneck to allow different positions of the camera to acquire various video images.
