Abstract: An antenna has a flat support having two sections. Antenna structures carried on the support sections. A joint between the connections allows the two sections to be pivoted relative to each other.

Abstract: A reactive hot melt composition, having a softening point of at least 50° C., and being curable on heating to a temperature of 150° C. The composition comprises a blend of (a) a macrocyclic oligomer having a softening point of at least 50° C., containing at least one ring having eight or more atoms, and being able to undergo decyclization at a temperature of 150° C. or more, to produce a polymerizable species, wherein each cyclic oligomer molecule provides two or more structural repeat units of the same or different formula for the resulting polymer, and (b) a thermoplastic resin, its use as an adhesive and methods of its application.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for applying electrical conductor patterns (1) to or into a target component (10) of plastic, it being provided according to the invention that a carrier medium on or in which the conductor patterns (1) are permanently arrange d is placed in a mould part (3, 8) and the mould part (3, 8) is filled with a mouldable polymer material, the target component (9) with the conductor patterns (1) being removed from the mould part (3, 8) after the moulding of the polymer material.

Abstract: In combination with a motor-vehicle body part, an antenna has a flat nonconductive support sheet, a conductive antenna structure applied to the sheet, and a coaxial cable connected to the antenna structure and adapted for connection to a transmitter or receiver.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for applying electrical conductor patterns (1) to a target component (9) of plastic, it being provided according to the invention that a transfer medium on which the conductor patterns (1) are detachably arranged is placed in a mould part (3, 4) and the mould part (3, 4) is filled with a polymer material, the finished target component (9) being removed from the mould part (3, 4) after the filling.

Abstract: A motor-vehicle part is made by hot-pressing to the part a substrate comprising a layer of nonconductive material carrying a conductive structure so as to fix the substrate to the part such that the conductive structure forms a surface of the part.

Abstract: A motor-vehicle antenna assembly is made by first printing on a face of a substantailly flat deformable plastic film a layer of an electrically conductive paste. Then the film is permanently plastically deformed into a three-dimensional shape corresponding to a shape of an installation location of a motor vehicle. The plastically deformed film with the printed layer is then fitted to the installation location.

Abstract: The invention relates to a transparent plastic part (1, 11) of an electrically nonconductive material on or in which electrically conductive structures (2) are integrated for use in a motor vehicle, where according to the invention the electrically conductive structures (2) are printed on an outside surface.

Abstract: A motor-vehicle part made of nonconductive material is provided according to the invention with a substrate comprising a layer of nonconductive material carrying a conductive structure is fixed to the motor-vehicle part by hot-pressing such that the substrate with the conductive structure forms a surface of the part.
