  • Patent number: 9330996
    Abstract: A semiconductor module system has a semiconductor module and a protective cover. The semiconductor module has a bottom side with a heat dissipation surface and a top side opposite the bottom side, the top side being separated from the bottom side in a vertical direction. The protective cover can be mounted irreleasably on the semiconductor module in such a way that, in a mounted state, the top side is exposed and the protective cover covers the heat dissipation surface. By virtue of the protective cover, a thermal interface material applied onto the heat dissipation surface can be protected.

  • Patent number: 8818622
    Abstract: The vehicle system, controlled by control inputs, provides functionalities in the motor vehicle (1) and has an interface (9) for acquiring the control inputs and outputting data as well as a control device (5) for controlling the functionalities in accordance with the acquired control inputs. A storage medium (7) on which instructions explaining the functionalities and/or operation are stored is linked to the control device (5). The control device (5) is designed to retrieve instructions from the storage medium (7) and output the same as part of the instructions via the interface (9). The vehicle system (3, 3?) can be operated in an assistance mode in which the user inputs are interpreted and evaluated as control inputs for the functionalities while instructions explaining the respective activated functionality and/or other operational options are additionally output at the same time.

  • Patent number: 6633258
    Abstract: The invention relates to a diversity reception system for motor vehicles for digitally modulated terrestrial and/or satellite radio signals in the frequency range above 1 GHz. The system includes an antenna arrangement of which the reception signal is supplied to a radio receiver. The antenna arrangement is designed as an antenna system having several individual antennas and several antenna components, and contains a controllable logic switching device. The individual antennas and the several antenna components are positioned on the vehicle so that for discrete switching positions of the controllable logic switch, reception signals that are different in terms of diversity are available at the antenna connection point. A reception level testing device is provided for the comparative determination of the reception level contained in the data flow in the HF-channel with an HF channel bandwidth B.

  • Patent number: 6188447
    Abstract: A frequency diversity system for use in mobile reception of television and RF signals in the meter or decimeter wavelength, such as for use with a mobile television having a first receiver, an additional receiver and a control and analysis circuit. The additional receiver detects all incoming frequencies corresponding to a preset program and switches the main receiver to an incoming frequency of a higher quality. The receiver is able to identify the frequencies corresponding to the desired program through a transmitter identification code, which is added to each signal. This code is usually a VPS identification signal. The control and analysis circuit compares the incoming frequencies to the frequency of the signal transmitted by the television receiver to determine the highest quality signal. In order to accelerate the process, the system processes local position coordinates of the television so that the frequencies analyzed are only those expected within the coverage area of the television.

  • Patent number: 5818394
    Abstract: A flat antenna for mounting on windowpanes of motor vehicles reduces the dimensions of the mass reference area of the mass plane, and the structural height without unfavorably influencing the functions and operating parameters of the antenna. The mass reference area has a trough-like shape, is centrally positioned under an aerial segment, and has conductive coating impermeable to the operating frequency of the antenna. The inside and outside conductors of the coaxial feed cable are connected to the aerial segment and mass reference area shifted to outside the aerial elements and thereby enables a significant reduction in overall dimensions.
