Patent number: 5487301Abstract: A test rig for testing motor-vehicle assemblies includes a loading device for inducing vertical forces, lateral forces, longitudinal forces and braking or driving forces in the motor-vehicle assembly. The test rig includes a control device for controlling the loading device in such a way as to ensure that the vertical forces, lateral forces, longitudinal forces and braking or driving forces are induced in the motor-vehicle assembly according to a predetermined control loading programme. The control loading programme causes different loading cases of the motor-vehicle assembly, which are realistic in terms of the physics of driving, to be simulated repeatedly in a temporally consecutive sequence. The control loading programme is a standardised basic programme adapted, with the aid of vehicle-and/or axle-specific conversion values and test-rig-specific conversion values, to the given motor-vehicle assembly to be tested in the given case.Type: GrantFiled: February 3, 1993Date of Patent: January 30, 1996Assignee: Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der Angewandten ForschungInventors: Andreas Muller, Vatroslav Grubisic, Gerhard Fischer

Patent number: 5357263Abstract: A display system for aircraft for showing the attitude, particularly the rolling and pitching position or the flight path angle, comprising a windshield projection device (HUD "HEAD-UP DISPLAY") with devices for generating and displaying an airplane symbol, a symbol which is stabilized fixed to earth for the displaying of the position of the true horizon as well as for generating and displaying symbols for the rolling and pitching angle or of the path angle in the exterior field of view of the pilot as a function of the values measured by the corresponding instruments. In this case, a display of the attitude is generated by means of a reference symbol representing the airplane and an information symbol which changes with respect to the reference symbol in its position and shape--and is dependent on the rolling angle (.phi.) and pitching angle (.theta.) or path angle (.gamma.).Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 1992Date of Patent: October 18, 1994Assignee: Dornier Luftfahrt GmbHInventors: Gerhard Fischer, Werner Fuchs

Patent number: 5268323Abstract: A semiconductor array in a CMOS technology is described in which the gate electrodes are of p.sup.+ -doped polysilicon in the case of p-channel transistors and of n.sup.+ -doped polysilicon in the case of n-channel transistors. If the gate electrodes of two complementary transistors are connected at the gate level, a polysilicon diode is created at the connection point. In accordance with the invention, the polysilicon diode is short-circuited with a polysilicide layer. A method is described for short-circuiting this polysilicon diode without additional masking steps using a metal silicide layer. In a further embodiment of the invention, the silicide is restricted to the area of the polysilicon diode. In addition, a method is described using which the polysilicon diodes can be short-circuited in a self-adjusting polysilicide process.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 1992Date of Patent: December 7, 1993Assignee: Eurosil electronic GmbHInventors: Gerhard Fischer, Walter Plagge
