Abstract: A Printhead, particularly suitable for viscous or particle-filled fluids, with multiple channels is proposed. A channel of the printhead is characterized by a micro-electro-pneumatic circuit 2 containing a series circuit between a first and second pressure level out of a micro-valve 18 and a pneumatic throttle 23, for generating a control pressure pc at the common pneumatic node 5 of micro-valve 18 and pneumatic throttle 23, further a drop-on-demand fluid ejector 4 with a diaphragm 8 actuated by the control pressure pc, the fluid ejector 4 controlling the fluid discharge through fluid outlet 6.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fingerprint recognition module comprising a substrate consisting of a material that is electrically insulating at least on its upper side and at least partially thermally insulating. Said substrate receives a composite of structured thin films on its surface, which directly forms a measuring field on the surface of the substrate for measuring a fingerprint. Said composite consists of an array of resistive, temperature-dependent elements, and contains strip conductors which connect the resistive, temperature-dependent elements to at least one connection field located on the substrate, outside the measuring field, and form part of the composite of structured thin films.

Abstract: Vehicle stability regulating system for land vehicles, with a yaw rate sensor (GRS) which during operation delivers a first output signal (GR) representative of the yaw rate of the vehicle and a second output signal (Temp) representative of the operating or ambient temperature of the yaw rate sensor (GRS), and an additional sensor arrangement (SENS), which delivers a third output signal (0-GR) representing a non-yawing state of the vehicle, at least within a predetermined range of tolerance, wherein the first, the second and the third output signal are fed into an electronic control unit (ECU), and wherein the electronic control unit (ECU) comprises a computer unit (CPU) and at least one writable data memory (RAM) and a control program memory (ROM), which is connected to the computer unit, wherein a control program stored in the control program memory controls the computer unit so that in a learning mode the computer unit determines a temperature-related zero offset value from the first output signal in accor

Abstract: For a micromechanical resonator of a vibration gyrometer, the two resonating masses, which vibrate in phase opposition and are joined across a coupling region, are suspended by at least one suspension spring. The suspension springs are thereby designed to be soft in the direction of vibration and substantially harder in all other degrees of freedom. This allows the moment of rotation of the rate of rotation (absolute angular velocity) to be transferred to the resonating masses. Interference signals when measuring Coriolis forces are suppressed by means of subtraction. The resonator is patterned out of a semiconductor material and can be excited to vibrate in the electrostatic or electromagnetic field by means of suitable current supply leads.
