  • Distance measuring device for control
    Patent number: 7643927
    Abstract: A distance measuring device in a vehicle is used for controlling a device located outside the vehicle. The controller causes a control signal to be emitted, the control signal being emitted by distance sensors located on the vehicle.
    Type: Grant

  • Device for rapid short-circuit protection in a power semiconductor
    Publication number: 20040051398
    Abstract: A device for rapid short-circuit protection in a power semiconductor is described. It has at least one power semiconductor (10, 38) via which a load current (IL) may be applied to at least one electric load (24). The current detection means (14, 18, 46) provide a measure (VIS) of the load current (IL) applied to the electric load (24). A semiconductor protective circuit (30, 32, 34, 36) triggers the power semiconductor (10, 38) to protective operation in the event of an imminent impairment of the power semiconductor (10, 38).
