Abstract: A cooling device (1) for an electronic component (3), especially for a microprocessor, includes a heat sink (7, 9), which can be connected to the electronic component (3) to be cooled, such that the waste heat generated by the electronic component (3) is transferred and transported away via a thermal interface of the electronic component (3) on the heat sink (7, 9). The heat sink (7, 9) comprises a first heat sink part (7), which is formed for connection to the electronic component, and a second heat sink part (9), which is connected detachably to the first heat sink part (7), such that a low heat transfer resistance is given, wherein at least the predominant part of the waste heat is transferred to a coolant via the second heat sink part (9). A rack may store several electronic components (3) to be cooled, wherein each electronic component to be cooled is included in a respective system such as respective server for a data-processing system.

Abstract: In a method for adjusting a vehicle-mounted radar sensor having three radar lobes, which are emitted in a fan-shaped manner, one of which is a central lobe, and the other two are lateral lobes extending at the same angle, a reflector plate disposed at a distance from the vehicle and perpendicular to the vehicle longitudinal axis is pivoted about a vertical axis. The deviation of the reflector's position angle from an ideal position is determined. The ideal position is one in which the two lateral radar lobes produce at least a substantially identical reflection signal. The radar sensor is subsequently pivoted by a correction angle, which is equal to the deviation of the reflector plate's position angle, but in the opposite direction.
