The harness assembly also comprises a housing assembly situated beneath the motor receptacle, which mechanically connects with the eIWE, and a cable extending from the housing assembly, the cable configured to electrically connect the hub lock harness assembly to a powertrain control module (PCM).

Abstract: One aspect is for a method of manufacturing a magnetic coil for a magnetic actuator. A coil carrier is provided which comprises a tubular section and a collar which adjoins the tubular section, wherein the coil carrier is arranged for accommodating a coil winding. A die comprising a defined inner contour is provided which is adapted to the coil carrier. The coil carrier is inserted into the die, wherein the collar of the coil carrier rests on a seating surface of the die. The collar is punched with a punch, wherein a flange contour is formed at the collar the outline of which is defined by an inner contour of the die. The coil carrier is also at least sectionally potted or overmolded with a filler material, wherein the flange contour provides a barrier for the filler material. The disclosure further relates to a corresponding magnetic coil.

Abstract: A device includes a logic circuit having first, second, and third input ports, a first output port, and a feedback path between the first output port and the third input port. In a first operating state, a logic state change at the first input port triggers a logic state change at the first output port, but a logic state change at the third input port does not trigger a logic state change at the first output port. This allows signals to be routed through the device. In a second operating state, a logic state change of the third input port triggers a logic state change of the first output port. This change is fed back, delayed by a time value, to the third input to maintain an oscillation with at least two edges. The frequency of this oscillation is used to determine a value of a measurement variable.

Abstract: Check valve with a valve housing, on which is formed a valve seat. The valve seat is designed as an oblique face with respect to a flow direction. A shut-off element has at least one sheet-like shut-off tab which is composed of an elastically deformable material and which, in a shut-off position, bears against the valve seat and, in an opening position, is lifted off from the valve seat, in order to allow the passage of fluid. An abutment element is arranged on that side of the shut-off tab which faces away from the valve seat. The shut-off tab can abut against the abutment element in order to limit the amount by which the shut-off tab is lifted off from the valve seat.

Abstract: A device for detecting an approach or a touch related to at least one sensor element, in particular in an electrical appliance, the device comprising an input side and an output side, between which a first signal path with a first input and a first output and a second signal path with a second input and a second output are arranged, wherein the first signal path comprises a delay device with a delay, the delay device configured to delay a digital first input signal at the first input into a digital first output signal at the first output, wherein the delay is dependent on a capacitance value resulting from the approach or the touch related to the sensor element, and wherein the second signal path comprises an XOR-element, which is configured to generate an edge in a digital second output signal at the second output, when the digital first output signal outputted by the delay device exhibits an edge.

Abstract: A directional control fluid valve for establishing a first throughflow path, with which fluid is sucked in and supplied under pressure to a consumer, and a second throughflow path with which fluid is sucked out of the consumer. The valve has a housing which has a tank port, a pressure port for connecting to a pressure side of a pump, a suction port for connecting to a suction side of the pump, and a consumer port. The valve has at least one valve flap which is arranged within the housing and which can be moved between a first flap position for establishing the first throughflow path and a second flap position for establishing the second throughflow path. The housing has two parts on which are formed in each case at least two valve seats. The housing has a base part on which the tank port, the pressure port, the suction port and the consumer port are formed, and a cover part which has closed ducts. The closed ducts are connected to the associated valve seats.

Abstract: A seat belt buckle for seat belts has a housing, an opening for inserting a seat belt tongue, a locking device for locking the seat belt tongue, and a release device for releasing the seat belt tongue from the lock. A sensor device electrically senses whether the seat belt tongue is locked, wherein the sensor device has a switch arrangement which can be activated by the seat belt tongue. The switch arrangement has an electrically conductive snap-action plate that can be moved between a first switched position and a second switched position. A mechanical activation device transmits a force exerted on the seat belt tongue during the insertion of the seat belt tongue onto the snap-action plate in order to move the snap-action plate from the first switched position into the second switched position. As a result, an electrical contact element is closed or opened.

Abstract: A sensor holder for mounting a sensor component is disclosed. In one aspect, the sensor holder comprises an elongate holding device, at the first axial end of which the sensor component is mounted and at the second axial end of which a junction cable can be led up, the conductors of which can be connected to terminals of the sensor component. In this case, the holding device has a plastic carrier, on which the sensor component is mounted, and the metallic outer carrier, in particular a metal sleeve, surrounding the plastic carrier.

Abstract: The invention proposes a key arrangement for a control panel, particularly for domestic machines such as washing machines, driers etc., having at least one key with a front control face and at least one backward-protruding projection, a key support which has at least one opening through which the projection passes, and elastic means which are borne on the back of the key support, the elastic means engaging with the projection which passes through the opening and prestressing the key forwards from the key support.
