  • Publication number: 20240337452
    Abstract: A method for producing a component for a heat exchanger through which fluid flows is provided. A base plate is provided on which there is an adhesive layer formed by glue. A channel plate is placed on the surface of the base plate such that the channel plate is spaced apart from the base plate in at least one channel region to delimit at least one fluid channel, and is bears on the adhesive layer in at least one bonding region to obtain a material bond with the base plate. The channel plate and base plate are clamped together in and by a hot press, such that a material bond is formed between the base plate and the channel plate in the bonding region when the adhesive layer is heated. The base plate and channel plate are placed in a cold press such that the adhesive layer that was heated in the hot press is cooled while the base plate is clamped against the channel plate.

  • Publication number: 20230158587
    Abstract: A suction device for a portable handheld power saw (10), wherein: the handheld power saw has a housing (17) in which a drive motor (11) is arranged and has a tool holder (14), which can be driven to linearly oscillate along an axis of movement (SO) by the drive motor (11), for a sawing tool (15) having an elongate design and extending along a longitudinal axis for making a saw cut in a workpiece (W). The suction device (30) has at least one guide contour (55) which, when the suction device is mounted on the handheld power saw, protrudes in front of the machine guide surface (23) such that the handheld power saw can be guided on the workpiece by means of the at least one guide contour (55) instead of the machine guide surface.

  • Patent number: 10137823
    Abstract: An adaptive cornering light system for a motor vehicle includes an exterior mirror head, housing at least one lighting module that having a plurality of LEDs arranged in sectors to provide different lighting functionalities. One LED or light sector is provided for adaptively illuminating a cornering area that extends along the side of the vehicle toward the front of the exterior mirror head. This “cornering LED” is adaptively activated if the speed of the vehicle is below a threshold speed, or in response to additional optional parameters such as steering angle, turn-signal blinker activation, and running lights activation. Another LED or light sector may be used as a security light to illuminate or display a message on the ground in the door area adjacent the side of the vehicle. Interior lights are also disclosed. User input may also control options for illumination.
