  • Patent number: 11917274
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a camera module. The method includes: a) mounting an image sensor on a circuit board, b) inserting and fixing the circuit board into a housing, c) aligning an objective lens accommodated in the housing and including an electrical interface with respect to the image sensor, d) fixing the objective lens in the housing. In step b) spring contacts, which are movable with respect to the circuit board, are inserted into the housing together with the circuit board and, in a step e), i.e., after the fixation of the objective lens in the housing, are brought into contact with the electrical interface with the aid of clamping and/or fixing elements.

  • Patent number: 10683857
    Abstract: A pump device, in particular for a brake system of a motor vehicle, includes two hydraulic chambers, a linear drive, and a pump piston. Each of the chambers has at least two fluid connections. The pump piston interacts with the chambers. The linear drive is embodied as a reluctance drive and includes a longitudinally movable armature, a housing-fastened stator that is configured to receive current, and at least one spring element. The at least one spring element is associated with the armature, and is configured to counteract a drive force of the reluctance drive. The armature is connected to the pump piston.

  • Patent number: 9874282
    Abstract: A slide valve is described, in particular, for an automatic transmission for motor vehicles. The slide valve includes a valve slide displaceable in a sliding channel and at least two adjacent connecting channels. The sliding channel and the valve slide are configured so that the valve slide in an opened slide position establishes a fluid connection between the two adjacent connecting channels, and the valve slide in the opened slide position is guided in a section of the sliding channel between the adjacent connecting channels.

  • Patent number: 7508293
    Abstract: A magnetic circuit for an ignition coil or a transformer, including an inner, essentially rod-shaped core and an outer core. The outer core includes a strip-shaped element of thickness, length and width, and is situated around the inner core in such a way that the strip-shaped element is positioned at the faces of the inner core with its thickness perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the inner core.
