  • Patent number: 10352810
    Abstract: A pressure sensor for determining a pressure of a medium is configured to be screwed into a hydraulic control block, and includes a sleeve-shaped connector stub and sensor element. The stub has a plurality of axial sections, and an axial through bore configured to receive the medium. The axial sections include a threaded section, flange section, carrier section, and tapered portion. The flange section has an annular face facing the threaded section and configured to bear against a surface of the control block. The carrier section includes an inner opening that opens into the bore. The sensor element is positioned on the opening to sealingly close the opening, and is configured to measure the pressure of the medium. The tapered portion defines a reduction in a radial external diameter of the stub between the flange section and the carrier section.

  • Patent number: 9733471
    Abstract: A micromechanical device for projecting an image and for analyzing an optical spectrum and a corresponding manufacturing method. The device includes: a first light providing unit by which a first light beam is providable to the device; a diffraction unit for diffract the first light beam provided to the device as a function of a diffraction property of the diffraction unit; a second light providing unit by which a second light beam is providable to the device; a micromirror by which the second light beam provided to the device is variably deflectable as a function of a position and/or an orientation of the first micromirror; and a first actuator by which the adjustable diffraction property of the optical diffraction unit and also the position and/or the orientation of the micromirror are adjustable.

  • Patent number: 8063479
    Abstract: A housing for a semiconductor component, in which the housing has a plurality of pins which are provided at the edge of the housing at distances, the pins each having a width, a thickness and a length. In order to create a housing for a semiconductor component whose characteristic frequencies are outside a range in which the characteristic frequencies of the housing negatively influence the semiconductor component, either at least one of the distances lies outside the range of 1.24 mm to 1.30 mm, at least one of the widths lies outside the range of 0.33 mm to 0.51 mm, at least one of the thicknesses lies outside the range of 0.23 to 0.32 mm, or at least one of the lengths lies outside the range of 2.05 to 4.12 mm.
