Publication number: 20150135811Abstract: Described is an elastic diaphragm for a pressure-measuring device for ascertaining a pressure in a combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine, especially a self-ignitable internal combustion engine, the diaphragm being accommodated in a housing of the pressure-measuring device in order to separate a pressure chamber from a cavity and in order to seal the housing from the pressure to be measured. The diaphragm has a pressure-application region. Furthermore, the diaphragm is developed in the shape of a ring and in cross-section has a U-shape that is open toward the cavity; the region of the diaphragm on which the pressure is acting is geometrically made up of two interconnected quarter circles, so that the pressurized region has a structure that is self-supporting with respect to the arising combustion pressure loads.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 30, 2013Publication date: May 21, 2015Inventors: Janpeter Wolff, Wolfgang Koetzle, Thomas Hauber, Stefan Leopold, Denis Gugel

Patent number: 8933546Abstract: An electronic assembly includes a leadframe (2), a semiconductor component (3), and an electrically conductive connecting element (4) made of a composite material (5). The connecting element (4) has a solderable metallization (6) on the composite material (5) on a surface that is directed towards the semiconductor component (3). A thermal conductivity of the composite material (5) of the connecting element (4) is greater than a thermal conductivity of the semiconductor component (3) and less than a thermal conductivity of the leadframe (2). The connecting element (4) is provided only locally in the region of the semiconductor component (3).Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2011Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Paeivi Lehtonen, Thomas Kaden, Denis Gugel, Thomas Suenner, Tim Behrens
