  • Patent number: 11973201
    Abstract: An impact detection device for a traction battery of a motor vehicle includes at least one air-filled chamber formed on an underbody element for the traction battery. An air-filled chamber is at least laterally sealed to outside and defined by a sealing material. A pressure hose and an introduction element for the pressure hose can be provided, wherein the air-filled chamber can be coupled to a pressure sensor through the pressure hose, and the introduction element can be attached to the underbody element and formed to couple the pressure hose to the air-filled chamber through the sealing material in a set position. The introduction element can be embedded by the sealing material which seals the air-filled chamber.

  • Publication number: 20220407164
    Abstract: A battery arrangement for an electric vehicle including a battery housing and a plurality of battery cells. The battery cells are arranged in the battery housing. A protective plate is arranged on a side of the battery and faces toward a roadway. A deformation detection device includes at least one deformation sensor arranged at the protective plate. The protective plate is constructed of multiple layers and includes at least one first layer and one second layer separate from the first layer. The deformation detection device includes a first deformation sensor and a second deformation sensor. The first deformation sensor is arranged at the first layer of the multi-layer protective plate and the second deformation sensor is arranged at the second layer of the multi-layer protective plate.

  • Patent number: 10603992
    Abstract: A door system is provided for a passenger vehicle having at least two seat rows. The door system includes a front side door of a corresponding vehicle side, which can be brought into an open position from a closed position in order to take a seat in the rear seat row or to leave the rear seat row. In order to create a door system by which easier and more comfortable closing of the front side door is enabled, the front side door can be moved from the open position into the closed position by a door drive.

  • Patent number: 6958669
    Abstract: The invention relates to a high frequency module with a hollow conductor structure, consisting of a housing bottom and a housing lid, preferably consisting of ceramic. The housing bottom and the housing lid are preferably coordinated with each other in terms of their expansion characteristics. The adjusting device is mounted on the housing lid for positioning on the housing bottom, and consists of a raised photosensitive resist part which tapers conically starting from the housing lid. The adjusting device engages with the hollow conductor on assembly. The layer thickness of the adjusting device is approximately 100 to 200 ?m. The housing bottom and the housing lid are permanently interconnected by soldering, preferably using solders which are introduced galvanically in solder deposits. To this end, the solder is either applied locally to the housing lid surface or introduced in vias which are structured in the lid.
