Abstract: The invention refers to a deformable filter element comprising a flexible side element to seal pleats of its filter medium. An end section of the side element is bent over fold edges. The end section and the fold edges are secured to one another. The end section and a main section of the side element, which main section is typically arranged perpendicular to the fold edges, are neither parallel nor perpendicular to each other.

Abstract: A sensor, such as an electrostatic particle sensor, having a housing in which a sensor element is disposed, and a gas-tight electrical feedthrough through the housing, the feedthrough being configured for directing electrical currents and/or voltages from electrical components that are disposed outside the housing into the housing and/or out of the housing. In order for a sensor which permanently has at least one gas-tight electrical feedthrough through the housing thereof to be provided, the electrical feedthrough has a ceramic molded body which has at least one through bore, the latter having a first end and a second end, wherein the through bore from the first end up to the second end is filled with a metallic paste, and the ceramic molded body in a sintering process is connected to the metallic paste, and in the region of the first end and/or of the second end of the through bore at least one metallic tube piece is attached to the sintered metallic paste.

Abstract: A system component of a control device, especially for a transmission or engine controller of a motor vehicle, is provided as a closed system component for a control device which can be transported, thereby allowing decentralized manufacturing of the system component. The system component has a hybrid circuit, equipped with electronic components, which is embedded in a printed circuit board, recessed in the center, in such a manner that the hybrid circuit is completely enclosed by the printed circuit board. The hybrid circuit and the printed circuit board are mounted on a base element and connected to each other via contact elements. A cover element is positioned on top of the hybrid circuit and the contact elements in such a manner that the hybrid circuit is fully encapsulated by the base element, the cover element and the printed circuit board from environmental influences.
