  • Patent number: 10500960
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for operating an electrical system of a motor vehicle, said electrical system comprising a first power source for providing an operating voltage for at least one partial onboard network of the electrical system and at least a second power source, wherein an electrically conductive connection of the first power source to the electrical system is monitored for an intentional interruption and, in the event of a detected intentional interruption of the electrically conductive connection, the at least one second power source of the electrical system is separated therefrom or deactivated. A motor vehicle with an onboard electrical system and a control device, for execution of the method, are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7091809
    Abstract: The winding (3) of an ignition coil device (1) is to be better sealed in order to afford it more protection from fouling, moisture, and reagents of all kinds. Provision is accordingly made such that there is introduced between a winding element (2) and an outer metal jacket (5) a rubber insulating element (7) having a sealing profile (8). As a result, improved sealing from the winding element (2) and the outer metal jacket (5) is provided. As an alternative, provision may be made such that the insulating element (7) including a sealing compound (10) is introduced between the outer metal jacket (5) and the winding element (2).
