  • Printed circuit board with ground conductor for electric motor, and electric motor
    Patent number: 8314522
    Abstract: A printed circuit board (PCB), in particular for an electric motor, has two opposite main surfaces with at least one main surface carrying electrical components. A plurality of outer end faces extend between the two opposite main surfaces. One of the outer end faces is provided with a metallization that is connected to a ground conductor on the PCB.
    Type: Grant

  • Control for a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 7122915
    Abstract: A control for a window lifter of a motor vehicle includes a sensor in the form of a physical matrix having a pressure sensitive surface. The control also includes keys that define a pressure point. When pressed, the keys influence the pressure sensitive surface. The keys can be fixed to the sensor or can be connected to a support against which the sensor is fixed. The control can easily be reconfigured for different keys without modifying the sensor.

  • Obstruction detector for automobile vehicle windows
    Patent number: 7067794
    Abstract: A vehicle door includes an openable window and a detector with a charge-coupled device sensor. The sensor detects the light distribution proximate to a closing line of the window. If an obstruction is present, the light distribution received by the sensor varies. The light distribution received by sensor is compared with a reference distribution to detect if an obstruction is present. If an obstruction is detected, movement of the window is stopped, allowing any obstruction in the path of the window.

  • Geared motor and method for the assembly of the geared motor
    Publication number: 20060082246
    Abstract: A geared motor includes a control board for controlling the geared motor and a brush holder in electrical contact with the control board. The brush holder locks the control board in the geared motor. The assembly of the geared motor is facilitated, reducing the assembly costs.

  • Geared motor and method for assembling the geared motor
    Publication number: 20060035491
    Abstract: A geared motor used for operating a vehicle window regulator includes a housing and a connector receptacle capable of receiving a control connector for the geared motor. The connector receptacle is integrated into and projects from the housing. A printed circuit board with an electronic control unit for the geared motor is within the housing and extends in a direction of the rotor. Pins are electrically connected to the printed circuit board and are capable of being connected directly to the control connector for the geared motor.

  • Relay control device for a direct current electrical apparatus
    Publication number: 20050264972
    Abstract: A device for electrically controlling the switching of an apparatus, such as a DC motor of a vehicle window regulator controlled by an electromechanical relay, includes the electromechanical relay to actuate the switching of a switch of the apparatus and a microcontroller that controls the relay. The microcontroller periodically measures a voltage at terminals of the apparatus and delays actuation of the relay to open the switch when a voltage spike at the terminals of the apparatus during operation is above a predetermined threshold value.

  • Vehicle including a sensor for detecting an obstruction in a window opening
    Publication number: 20040236478
    Abstract: A vehicle includes two power-driven moving openable members, such as windows, on the same side of the vehicle and a single obstruction sensor or detector for both of the openable members. The same obstruction sensor or detector detects an obstruction present on the path of either of the moving openable members, reducing the cost of installing a system that protects against trapping objects or obstructions, such as a hand or fingers.
