Abstract: A micro-structured reference element for use in a sensor having a substrate and a dielectric membrane. The reference element has an electrical property which changes its value on the basis of temperature. The reference element is arranged with respect to the substrate so that the reference element is (i) electrically insulated from the substrate, and (ii) thermally coupled to the substrate. The reference element is arranged on the underside of the dielectric membrane. The reference element and side walls of the substrate define a circumferential cavern therebetween, which is also bounded by the dielectric membrane, arranged between them. The dielectric membrane is connected to the substrate. A surface area of the reference element which is covered by the dielectric membrane is greater than or equal to 10% and less than or equal to 100% of the possible coverable surface area.

Abstract: A free-tipped axial fan assembly includes fan having a blade tip geometry which provides a desired blade loading in the presence of a tip gap. The maximum camber exhibits a sudden and significant increase as the blade tip radius R is closely approached in the direction of increasing radial position. In some constructions, the maximum camber at the blade tip radius R is at least 10 percent greater than the maximum camber at a radial position r where r/R=0.95. In some constructions, the blade angle increases by more than 0.01 radians from a radial position r where r/R=0.95 to the blade tip radius R. The maximum camber at the blade tip radius R is at least 0.06 times the chord length in some constructions.

Abstract: Disclosed is a solenoid valve having a magnet unit and a valve cartridge having a capsule, an armature guided longitudinally in the capsule and connected to a sealing pin guided longitudinally inside a valve insert, and a valve body with a sealing seat; a magnetic force generated by the magnet unit moves the armature together with the sealing pin from an initial position toward the valve body counter to the force of a return spring, causing the sealing pin to move into and close the sealing seat in an end position, where the initial position represents a maximum volumetric flow between a valve inlet and a valve outlet. A spring support is embodied and situated so that the return spring is supported outside the volumetric flow and presses the armature into the initial position against the capsule, and the inlet and outlet are embodied and situated so that the direction of the volumetric flow assists the closing motion of the armature with the sealing pin.
