Patent number: 10076864Abstract: A method for producing a structural component from an organometallic sheet includes a first step in which the organometallic sheet is preheated, introduced into a tool and subsequently re-formed. In a second step, a region of the re-formed organometallic sheet is heated. In a third step at least the heated region of the re-formed organometallic sheet is re-formed further in such a way that it enters into a material bond with a further region of the organometallic sheet to form an at least partly closed hollow profile. A device for carrying out the method for producing a structural component from an organometallic sheet and a structural component produced by the method also are described.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2012Date of Patent: September 18, 2018Assignee: ADIENT LUXEMBOURG HOLDING S.A.R.L.Inventors: Dustin Flock, Bernd Meier

Patent number: 10005379Abstract: A component having at least one structural component and one organic sheet, and a method for producing the component, are described. In a first step, a woven-fabric hose is arranged in a contour of a tool and then the tool is closed. In a second step, a plastic, in particular a melt, is injected into the woven-fabric hose arranged in the closed tool. In a third step, a fluid and/or supporting element is introduced into the woven-fabric hose, a cavity thus being formed in the woven-fabric hose. An organic sheet is formed and backmolded with a plastic, and the formed and backmolded organic sheet is bonded to the structural component to produce the component.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2013Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: ADIENT LUXEMBOURG HOLDING S.À.R.L.Inventors: Dustin Flock, Bernd Meier, Vedat Nuyan, Axel Koever

Patent number: 9724858Abstract: In a method for producing a backrest rear panel from at least one organic sheet, a plurality of reinforcing beads and a frame-shaped bead, which circles the reinforcing beads, are formed in at least one organic sheet. In a molding tool, a rib structure is formed in the circling frame-shaped bead on the rear of the backrest rear panel in such a manner that a rib structure closes flush with the rear of the backrest rear panel, with the result that an even surface is formed on the rear of the backrest rear panel. A bonded connection is formed between the organic sheet and rib structure with the result that a one-piece component is formed.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2013Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignees: Johnson Controls GmbH, Hyundai Motor Europe Technical Center GmbHInventors: David Ribaric, Bernd Meier, Vedat Nuyan, Annett Linemann, Carsten Höfer, Jerome Coulton, Peter Classen

Patent number: 8589016Abstract: A motor vehicle monitoring apparatus has a controller as a component of a control loop for controlling the electric current of an actuator. The vehicle power supply system voltage of a motor vehicle voltage source is applied to the actuator. A correction unit is provided in the forward path of the control loop between the controller and a subordinate actuator element of the control loop and applies the actuation signal output by the controller with a correction factor which is proportional to the reciprocal value of the instantaneous vehicle power supply system voltage.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2008Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Continental Automotive GmbHInventors: Paul Bange, Malte Jacobi, Bernd Meier, Matthias Peuckert
