  • Patent number: 8241710
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for spraying a track, in particular a conductor track, onto a substrate under mild conditions, includes generating a cold plasma having a plasma temperature of less than 3000 K in a spray lance, introducing a powder into the spray lance with the aid of a carrier gas and leading the powder to a frontal exit opening, where it exits and impinges on the substrate. An electrical component including an electrically conductive conductor track applied to a substrate, is also provided.

  • Patent number: 7521665
    Abstract: In order to be able to reliably detect when an object is caught between two parts which move in relation to one another in a motor-driven closing mechanism, in particular in an electromotively driven window winder system, provision is made for the sensor system to have an optical pressure sensor as well as an electrical capacitive sensor in addition. The optical pressure sensor comprises a light-guiding element, a light source for injecting light into the light-guiding element and a light sensor for sensing the light which has been output. The electrical sensor comprises an electrode which is connected to a voltage source. Both sensors are each assigned to an evaluation unit for evaluating the respective signal.

  • Patent number: 6939139
    Abstract: A simple connection of a conventional electrical unit to the conductor tracks of an electric system, such as a motor vehicle electric system, is provided. The conductor tracks are directly applied to a support, for example, by flame spraying. A terminal adapter is placed, via a partial element, between the support, which is fitted with the conductor tracks, and the electrical unit to be connected. The conductor tracks are guided, inside the terminal adapter to a conventional electrical connection of the unit.
