Publication number: 20240290707Abstract: A substrate includes a dielectric insulation layer, a first metallization layer arranged on a first surface of the dielectric insulation layer, and a second metallization layer arranged on a second, opposite surface of the dielectric insulation layer. The dielectric insulation layer includes an outer edge extending between the first and second surfaces. The outer edge includes first sections and second sections. Along each first section, a difference between a first distance and a second distance has a first value. Along each second section, the difference between the first and second distances has a second value that is different from the first value. The first distance is a distance between the outer edge of the dielectric insulation layer and an outer edge of the first metallization layer. The second distance is a distance between the outer edge of the dielectric insulation layer and an outer edge of the second metallization layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2024Publication date: August 29, 2024Inventors: Alexander Höhn, Charles Rimbert-Riviere

Patent number: 8291645Abstract: In a method and a device for adjusting a frameless window pane of a motor vehicle by means of a motorized window lifter activated by a control device, for adjusting the window pane between an open position and a closed position, in which the window pane upper edge is arranged in a window pane seal associated therewith and connected to the motor vehicle roof, the closed position of the window pane and/or the closing force with which the window pane bears against the window pane seal, is altered depending on the relative position of the window pane seal to the window pane upper edge. As a result, a connection of the window pane upper edge to the window pane seal which remains the same irrespective of the driving speed of the motor vehicle, is guaranteed and ensures that even at higher driving speeds there is no occurrence of leakages or increased wind noise.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2007Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: Brose Fahrzeugteile GmbH & Co KG, CoburgInventors: Alexander Höhn, Felix Heckmann
