Patent number: 11839043Abstract: An improved ECU for a motor vehicle comprises a housing that includes a top portion and a bottom portion each with an associated gasket. A printed circuit board (PCB) is enclosed between the housing portions. The gaskets provide seals between the housing, portions and respective sides of the PCB and apply balanced forces to each side to minimize strain on the PCB. One or both gaskets may be electromagnetic compliance gaskets.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2021Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignees: Robert Bosch LLC, Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Hadwan Hadwan, John Janson, Ligor Manushi, Jeff Reuter, Jesus Antonio Marin Bello, Mark Ryskamp, Alexander Tsang, Andrew Yermak, Hiram Avalos, Kenneth Bouman

Patent number: 10411392Abstract: A hybrid electrical connector includes a housing having a central opening, a carrier plate supported by the housing within the central opening, and electrically conductive pins supported within the housing by the carrier plate. The housing is formed of a first plastic material, and the carrier plate is formed of a second plastic material having properties that make it more dimensionally stable than the first plastic material. In addition, a sealing layer is applied to one surface of the carrier plate, the sealing layer formed of a third plastic material and serving to secure the carrier plate to the housing and to secure the pins within the carrier plate. A method of forming the electrical connector is also described.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2018Date of Patent: September 10, 2019Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Ligor Manushi, Mario Reyes, Hiram Avalos, Mark Ryskamp, Allison McInnis, Jens Oberender, Michael Schoenfeld, Alexander Moore, Robert Keller

Patent number: 10398021Abstract: A housing assembly for an electronic circuit including an electronic control unit (ECU) is a low-profile, generally rectangular device that includes a base, a cover that closes an open end of the base, and a printed circuit board (PCB). The housing assembly securely supports the PCB and its associated electronic components while providing improved cooling properties and lower manufacturing costs. This is achieved by providing passive cooling features on an outer surface of the cover, and by employing a thermally conductive plastic to form the passive cooling features, where the cover has predetermined and defined anisotropic thermal conduction properties configured to optimize thermal conduction and cooling of the ECU.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2017Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignees: Robert Bosch LLC, Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Hiram Avalos, Jeff Reuter, Mark Ryskamp, Motozo Horikawa

Patent number: 10270950Abstract: A lens holder including a first portion made of a first plastic material capable of being laser welded to an imager assembly. The lens holder further includes a second portion made of a second plastic material capable of blocking infrared radiation. The first portion and the second portion are coupled together in nested relation.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2016Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Hiram Avalos, Ligor Manushi, Mark Ryskamp

Patent number: 10098267Abstract: An electronic device includes a housing, a printed circuit board (PCB) disposed in the housing, and electronic components that are supported on the PCB. The housing is an assembly of a cover and a base. At least one of the cover and the base include a region in which at least a portion of an outer surface of the housing within the region, and a portion of housing material adjoining the portion of the outer surface, have material properties that are different than those in other regions. A method of manufacturing that provides the desired material properties is also described.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2017Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignees: Robert Bosch LLC, Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: John Janson, Ligor Manushi, Alexander Moore, Hiram Avalos, Robert Keller, Mark Ryskamp, Motozo Horikawa
