  • Patent number: 11194360
    Abstract: A modular computer system includes: a housing; at least one container; a data connection; and a housing cover. The at least one container in a lowered state is configured to be connected to a motherboard of the computer system via at least one data connection installed on the outside of the at least one container. The data connection is for exchanging data between pluggable circuit boards in the at least one container and the motherboard of the computer system while the at least one container is in the lowered state. The housing cover is configured to be fixed on the housing. A container holding device is installed on the housing cover, wherein the container holding device is configured to exert a force on the at least one container to fix the at least one container in a shakeproof manner in the housing after the housing cover has been fixed on the housing.

  • Patent number: 10591453
    Abstract: A test bench for a control system for controlling a wideband lambda sensor, which is configured to calculate an actual value, which represents an oxygen concentration in a measuring gap of a wideband lambda sensor or an indicator value from which the oxygen concentration can be derived, with consideration of a current generated by a pump voltage in an electrical circuit. In order to simulate the electrical response of a pump cell of the wideband lambda sensor, a first diode and a second diode are connected in parallel in the electrical circuit such that a current flows through the first diode at a first polarity of the pump voltage and a current flows through the second diode at a second polarity of the pump voltage.

  • Patent number: 9302422
    Abstract: A method for laminating a substrate component to a thermally deformable decorative layer in a tool in which, for laminating, the decorative layer is held so as to be pre-tensioned in a holding device or in the tool and is placed on a substrate layer that rests on the tool, where prior to placing the decorative layer on the substrate component the second side of a molding contour piece that can be moved relative to the decorative layer is made to contact the pre-heated decorative layer, and by way of a further relative movement of the decorative layer relative to the holding device deforms the decorative layer in one section.
