  • Publication number: 20220244407
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for generating a three-dimensional environment model using GNSS measurements, comprising at least the following steps: a) receiving a plurality of measuring data sets, each of which describes a propagation path of a GNSS signal between a GNSS satellite and a GNSS receiver; b) selecting from the plurality of measuring data sets individual measuring data sets which meet a first selection criterion, the first selection criterion being characteristic for the presence of an object boundary along the propagation path of the GNSS signal; and c) capturing an object boundary of an object in the environment of at least one GNSS receiver using the measuring data sets selected.

  • Patent number: 10347566
    Abstract: A carrier and the clip are used to produce a packaging having a lead frame by connection to the chip using sintering of the solidified sintering pastes in one work step. The carrier may be a lead frame and a clip for at least one semiconductor element has at least one functional surface for connecting to the semiconductor element and a plurality of connections. The material of the earlier or of the clip includes a metal and a layer made of a solidified sintering paste. The sintering paste may contain silver and/or a silver compound. The sintering paste is arranged on the functional surface. The carrier or clip and the layer made of sintering paste form an intermediate product that can be connected to the semiconductor element.

  • Publication number: 20170110390
    Abstract: The invention relates to a support and/or clip for at least one semiconductor element with at least one functional surface (10) for connecting to the semiconductor element. The invention is further characterized by at least one solder resist cavity (12) with at least one flank wall (13), in particular a straight flank wall (13), and a delimiting edge (14) which adjoins the flank wall (13) and delimits the functional surface (10) at least on one side. The delimiting edge (14) forms a protrusion (15) which protrudes past the functional surface (10) in order to retain solder, and/or the flank wall (13) forms an undercut (16) for retaining solder at the delimiting edge (14).

  • Patent number: 9374937
    Abstract: In an embodiment, a hand digging shovel includes a handle and a shovel. The hand digging shovel is configured for use in gardens and the like and is intended to permit both low-fatigue working with minimized excavation and also use in tight spaces. These problems are solved by a slightly V-shaped arrangement of handle and shovel relative to one another, wherein said handle and shovel are connected together by means of an arm.

  • Publication number: 20130215584
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods for producing a laminate for contacting an electronic component, in which an insulating layer is arranged between first and second metal layers. The method includes contacting the metal layers to each other in a contact region, generating a recess in the insulating layer, laminating the metal layers to the insulating layer, generating a notch for accommodating the electronic component in the contact region in the first metal layer, inserting the electronic component in a depression in the laminate formed through a notch and recess. The electronic component is connected in a conductive manner to the second metal layer, such that an entire circumference of the electronic component is accommodated in the recess and/or notch, and at least part of the height of the electronic component is accommodated in the notch and/or recess. The invention also relates to such a laminate for contacting an electronic component.
