Patent number: 9261141Abstract: A ball bearing cage having a first ring element and a second ring element is provided. The ring elements are each formed from sheet metal, and each include axial bulges separated by support surfaces. Ball guide pockets are formed between facing bulging inner walls by joining the support surfaces of the two ring elements. The ring elements are formed in such a way that the bulging inner walls that define the ball guide pockets define a channel cross-section which is concave in relation to a ball and which has an inner and an outer ball contact zone. The channel cross-section has such a depth in a groove base lying between said inner and outer ball contact zones that, when the ball comes into contact with the ball contact zones, an intermediate space remains between the ball and the groove base lying between the ball contact zones.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2012Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co.

Publication number: 20150260766Abstract: A semiconductor device, comprising a substrate and an electronic circuit formed thereon is described. The substrate is susceptible to conducting a substrate current. The semiconductor device further comprises a substrate current sensor, which comprises a sensing line for sensing the potential at a charge collecting region; a supply node; and a current source connected between the supply node and the charge collecting region. The current source is arranged to inject a stationary current into the charge collecting region when the potential at the charge collecting region is below the supply potential. The sensing line comprises a monoflop, which is arranged to assume an unstable state when the potential at its input has exceeded a threshold and to return to a stable state when the potential at its input has remained below the threshold for at least a time period.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2014Publication date: September 17, 2015Applicant: FREESCALE SEMICONDUCTOR, INC.Inventors: HUBERT BODE, MATHIEU GAUTHIER LESBATS, ANDREAS JOHANN ROTH
