  • Patent number: 6601466
    Abstract: A control arrangement for an adjustable housing of a radar sensor has a holder on which a position of the housing is changeable by at least one adjusting screw which is turnable by a regulatable adjusting drive, and a control electronic unit provided for adjustment, via which said signals produced by the radar signal are evaluated or adjusting data stored in a storage are read, supplied to the corresponding adjusting drive and the position response command signals are transmitted to the corresponding adjusting drives.

  • Patent number: 6322275
    Abstract: A device for mounting a distance sensor, in particular a proximity radar device, on a motor vehicle, the distance sensor being accommodated in a closed housing, the housing being moveably attached to a support and the support being attachable in an immoveable manner to the motor vehicle. The device is characterized in that the housing is attachable to the support by at least three screws arranged in an L-shape relative to each other, that the screws, in the installed state of the distance sensor, are able to be screwed from its front side, and that a screw-out protection is provided for at least two of the screws.

  • Patent number: 6111551
    Abstract: The invention relates to a housing (1) with radar-absorbent properties, in particular for a radar sensor in a motor vehicle, with electrically conductive particles whose dimensions are adapted to the frequency of the radar beams to be absorbed. The housing (1) comprises a material that as its basic component contains plastic, either unreinforced or reinforced with glass fibers, selectively mineral-filled, and contains as an additive steel fibers (2) in a mixture such that the specific conductivity .sigma. of the housing adheres to a predetermined value.

  • Patent number: 6075492
    Abstract: A microwave antenna arrangement, made up of a focusing element and at least one feeder element, in which arrangement, to attain a small size, at least one component support is arranged in a spatial area between the focusing element and the at least one feeder element, electronic or electrical components being located on the component support. The component support has a cut-out to allow passage of the electronic waves. The component support and the electronic or electrical components are provided for processing signals other than those received or emitted by the at least one feeder element.

  • Patent number: 5735705
    Abstract: The disconnection protecting device (12) for an electrical connector prevents or makes difficult manipulation of the electrical connector (11) to by-pass an automatic stopping device of a motor vehicle. The disconnection protecting device (12) includes a lock member (32) which can at least indirectly lock the assembled electrical connector (11) preventing its disassembly. The lock member (32) can be a retaining member (18) at least partially covering the electrical connector (11) or a locking element (33) inserted directly in the electrical connector (11) in the form of a plug lock or clip lock.

  • Patent number: 5618194
    Abstract: An electrical plug device having two plug connector parts is designed in such a way that the two plug connector parts can be plugged together or separated by means of a slide, which can be displaced transversely with respect to the insertion direction, even under confined space conditions. To this end, guide openings are provided on one of the two plug connector parts, which guide openings extend through the plug connector part and serve the purpose of being able to assemble the U-shaped slide on both sides. Control elements or control means are fitted to the other of the two plug connector parts symmetrically with respect to its longitudinal extent, with the result that the engagement of assignable means or control elements which are fitted to the slide takes place with the same effect independently of the assembly direction of the slide. The plug device is preferably used in motor vehicles with confined installation conditions.
