  • Temperature-dependent power adjustment of transmitter
    Patent number: 7698578
    Abstract: A device includes a transmitter, at least one temperature sensor; and a controller. The controller is responsive to the at least one temperature sensor indicating that a temperature has risen above a first threshold to control the transmitter to reduce transmit power from a first power level to a second power level, wherein the second power level is a non-zero power level.

  • Module, especially a module for an electrohydraulic transmission controlling device
    Patent number: 6220300
    Abstract: The module for an electrohydraulic transmission controlling device includes a plurality of magnetic valves (16,17) arranged in a housing (12). The housing (12) includes a control block (24) and a cover (22) for the control block (24). The cover (22) is made by a MID casting method and the control block (24) is made by a thixotropic casting process. Component groups (14), especially a resistor (18), a switch (20) and magnetic valves, are arranged in the housing (12). By making the cover in a MID casting method and the control block by a thixotropic casting process the manufacture of the module is more economical and the assembly is simplified.
