  • Patent number: 11962109
    Abstract: A module connector includes a first connection part and a second connection part that can be electrically conductively connected with the first connection part. The first connection part has a first attachment element and the second connection part has a second attachment element; the first attachment element can be inserted into the second attachment element. Each of the first connection part and the second connection part has a contact protection at a side facing the other connection part. The contact protection has an outer electrically insulating collar and an electrically insulating protection pin surrounded by the outer electrically insulating collar. At least one of the first connection part and the second connection part has a current bridge between the outer electrically insulating collar and the electrically insulating protection pin. The outer electrically insulating collar and the electrically insulating protection pin extend beyond the current bridge.

  • Publication number: 20070249188
    Abstract: A device for the shakeproof accommodation of electrical special components and/or electrical circuits, particularly in a development as a second component set in a control unit, is made up of a carrier, onto which a circuit substrate, having special components fastened to it, is mounted in an electrically insulated manner over a partial surface, preferably by adhesion

  • Publication number: 20070047343
    Abstract: A method and system for repairing defective memory in a semiconductor chip. The chip has memory locations, redundant memory, and a central location for ordered fuses. The ordered fuses identify in compressed format defective sections of the memory locations. The defective sections are replaceable by sections of the redundant memory. The ordered fuses have an associated a fuse bit pattern of bits which sequentially represents the defective sections in the compressed format. The method and system determines the order in which the memory locations are wired together; designs a shift register of latches through the memory locations in accordance with the order in which the memory locations are wired together; and associates each of the latches with a corresponding bit of an uncompressed bit pattern from which the fuse bit pattern is derived. The uncompressed bit pattern comprises a sequence of bits, representing the defective sections in uncompressed format.

  • Publication number: 20050114747
    Abstract: A method and system for generating a set of scan diagnostic patterns for diagnosing fails in scan chains. The method including: (a) selecting a set of latches; (b) selecting a pattern from a set of test patterns; (c) determining the number of lateral insertions of the selected pattern; (d) determining a number of new lateral insertions that the selected pattern would add to the set of scan diagnostic pattern and adding the selected pattern and a corresponding new insertion count to a count list; (e) repeating steps (b) through (d) until all patterns of the set of test patterns have been selected; (f) selecting a pattern from the count list; (g) adding the pattern selected from the count list to the set of scan diagnostic patterns; and (h) repeating steps (b) through (g) until a there are a predetermined number of patterns in the set of scan diagnostic patterns.

  • Patent number: 6564919
    Abstract: The pressure plate has at least one friction surface region which can be pressed against a friction facing arrangement of a clutch disk or the like, wherein the pressure plate is formed at least partially from a first material, and wherein a second material having thermal contact with the first material is provided in the pressure plate at least in some areas. In order to be able to compensate for negative umbrella deformation of the pressure plate caused by friction heat during operation of the clutch, the second material has a different thermal expansion, particularly a greater thermal expansion, than the first material.
