  • Publication number: 20170334393
    Abstract: A method for checking a motor vehicle comprises steps for transmitting an ID stored in an electronic control device of a transmission of the motor vehicle, to a central facility, the comparison on the part of the central facility of the ID with stored IDs assigned to specific motor vehicles, the transmission of a notification regarding the comparison result from the central facility to the control device, and the issuing on the part of the control device of a signal, if the ID has been located in the stored IDs. The communication comprises an authentication of the central facility thereby.

  • Patent number: 9769945
    Abstract: A cover device for a contact section of a printed circuit board for a mechatronics module is proposed. The printed circuit board includes a contact section which has at least one connection hole, for connecting an electrical connection element to the printed circuit board. The cover device is characterized in that the cover device has a voltage protection element and a sealing element for sealing the at least one connection hole. The sealing element has at least one blind hole thereby, for receiving an end section of the electrical connection element.

  • Patent number: 9649693
    Abstract: A cutting insert has a bottom supporting surface, a center cutting edge, two secondary cutting edges, realized on both sides of the center cutting edge and offset in relation to the center cutting edge, and two transition edges connecting the center cutting edge to the secondary cutting edge adjacent in each case. The two secondary cutting edges are realized in each case vertically offset and, where applicable, also offset in depth with respect to the center cutting edge and are laterally spaced from the center cutting edge. The transition edges, in each case in a non-edge-overlapping region, have at least over a portion an inclination n where 2°?n?20° in relation to a height direction which extends at right angles with respect to a main extension plane of the supporting surface.

  • Patent number: 8770017
    Abstract: A method of producing an insert molded sensor assembly having at least one sensor element accommodated on a first side of a circuit board of the sensor assembly. During a first step, a plurality of pins are introduced and penetrate through the circuit board. The circuit board, including the at least one sensor element, is then disposed, during a second step, into a two-part insert mold tool so that the pins are supported on both sides of the circuit board in a direction transverse to a plane defined by the circuit board. A defined spacing distance, between a surface of the sensor element and the insert mold tool, is produced by the pins. During a third step of the method, the insert mold tool is filled with insert molding material, particularly a duroplast.
