Patent number: 9970694Abstract: This application relates to a coolant condenser assembly for an air conditioning system for a motor vehicle. In a supercooling region, at least two cooling pipes, as the first supercooling parallel section, are acted upon in parallel by the coolant in a fluid-conducting manner, the coolant which flows out of the first supercooling parallel section flows into a first supercooling intermediate flow duct, and the first supercooling intermediate flow duct opens into at least two cooling pipes as the second supercooling parallel section, and the second supercooling parallel section opens into a second supercooling intermediate flow duct and the second supercooling intermediate flow duct opens into at least two cooling pipes as the third supercooling parallel section, such that the outlet opening is disposed on a second longitudinal side of the coolant condenser assembly.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2011Date of Patent: May 15, 2018Assignee: MAHLE International GmbHInventors: Guillaume David, Uwe Förster, Matthias Jung, Andreas Kemle, Christoph Walter, Herbert Hofmann

Patent number: 9705057Abstract: In a method for producing a laser diode, a number of laser diodes are produced on a wafer. The wafer is broken down into wafer pieces, each wafer piece having a plurality of laser diodes being arranged side by side. One wafer piece is inserted into a first mount that includes a first covering element overlapping a front face of the wafer piece and shadowing a bottom area of the front face of the wafer piece. A minor layer is deposited on an unshadowed upper area of the wafer piece's front face. The wafer piece is inserted into a second mount, which includes a second covering element that shadows the minor layer of the upper area of the front face. An electrically conductive contact layer is deposited on an unshadowed bottom area of the wafer piece's front face. The wafer piece is subsequently broken down into individual laser diodes.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2013Date of Patent: July 11, 2017Assignee: OSRAM Opto Semiconductors GmbHInventors: Roland Enzmann, Stephan Haneder, Tomasz Swietlik, Christoph Walter, Andreas Rozynski, Markus Graul, Karsten Auen, Jürgen Dachs

Patent number: 9419828Abstract: Continuous-time linear equalization of received signals on multiple wire channels while maintaining accurate common mode signal values. Multiwire group signaling using vector signaling codes simultaneously transmits encoded values on multiple wires, requiring multiple receive signals to be sampled simultaneously to retrieve the full transmitted code word. By misaligning transitions on multiple wires, skew introduces a transient common mode signal component that is preserved by using frequency-selective common mode feedback at the receiver to obtain accurate sampling results.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2015Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: KANDOU LABS, S.A.Inventor: Christoph Walter
