Patent number: 10923857Abstract: A connector module comprises an insulating body, and further comprises a plurality of signal contact elements and a plurality of shield contact elements forming a connector face configured for establishing electric contact with a counterpart of the connector module. For each of the signal contact elements, there exist two or at most three shield contact elements that are closer to this signal contact element than any signal contact element of the plurality of signal contact elements. The signal contact elements are arranged along a first curve extending in the connector face of the connector module and the shield contact elements are arranged along a second curve extending in the connector face of the connector module, the first curve and the second curve being parallel curves having a predefined normal distance. Viewed along the course of the parallel curves, the signal contact elements and the shield contact elements are arranged alternatingly.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2019Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: ODU GmbH & Co.

Publication number: 20060099000Abstract: In a method or apparatus for control of a point in time of a measurement of toner concentration in a developer mixture comprising toner and carrier, and wherein the developer mixture is mixed by a bucket roller provided with buckets, a toner concentration sensor is arranged for measurement of the toner concentration. Magnet bars are provided on the buckets, which magnet bars are interrupted in a region of the toner concentration sensor except for one of the magnet bars which is uninterrupted. The toner concentration sensor emits a sensor signal that exhibits a first pulse-shaped spike upon passage of the uninterrupted magnet bar and which has a larger amplitude compared to further pulse-spikes of smaller amplitude upon passage of the interrupted magnet bars. The sensor signal indicates the toner concentration between the pulse-shaped spikes.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2004Publication date: May 11, 2006Inventors: Stefan Franzl, Florian Kofferlein, Stefan Krieger, Peter Mostl, Alfred Zollner

Patent number: 6321703Abstract: A device for controlling a gas exchange valve for internal combustion engines, having a housing including an axially movable valve member, which on an end close to the combustion chamber, has a valve sealing face that cooperates with a valve seat affixed to the housing and on an end remote from the combustion chamber, has a piston that axially separates upper and lower hydraulic working chambers from each other. The lower working chamber closer to the combustion chamber acts on the valve member in the closing direction and the upper working chamber further from the combustion chamber acts on the valve member in the opening direction. The lower working chamber continuously communicates with a high pressure source and the upper working chamber can be alternatingly filled with high pressure by way of a high pressure supply line containing an electric control valve. The upper working chamber is discharged by way of a discharge line that contains an electric control valve.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2000Date of Patent: November 27, 2001Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Udo Diehl, Karsten Mischker, Rainer Walter, Stefan Franzl, Volker Beuche, Stefan Reimer

Patent number: 6321702Abstract: A system for controlling a gas exchange valve for internal combustion engines, comprising a movable valve member in a housing which, on an end close to the combustion chamber, has a valve sealing face that cooperate with a valve seat in order to control an inlet or outlet cross section at the combustion chamber of the engine. On an end remote from the combustion chamber a working piston defines at least one hydraulic working chamber, whose alternating filling and discharging with a pressure fluid can be used to move the valve member in the opening and closing direction. The supply pressure of the pressure fluid supplied for the actuation of the gas exchange valve member is adjusted step wise as a function of current operating parameters of the engine.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2000Date of Patent: November 27, 2001Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Udo Diehl, Karsten Mischker, Rainer Walter, Stefan Franzl, Volker Beuche, Stefan Reimer

Patent number: 6178935Abstract: A valve control device for an internal combustion engine having a gas exchange valve for controlling an inlet and/or outlet cross section in the combustion chamber of the engine. The valve control device has an axially movable gas exchange valve member whose valve member shaft is coupled to a piston rod to a differential piston that can be hydraulically actuated. The differential piston is embodied as two piston parts, wherein the two piston parts are disposed in relation to one another in such a way that they are operatively connected to each other in the axial direction and can execute a radial relative movement in relation to each other.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2000Date of Patent: January 30, 2001Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Udo Diehl, Karsten Mischker, Rainer Walter, Stefan Franzl, Volker Beuche, Stefan Reimer, Ulrich Kappenstein
