  • Patent number: 8253042
    Abstract: An arrangement of an electronic component in a plastic housing, including a cover and a lower part, and to a method for fixing the electronic component in the housing. The cover is connected to the lower part and exerts a pre-defined force (F) on the electronic component. The cover is designed such that the influence of the height tolerance (dh) of the electronic component on the force (F) can be compensated to the effect that, once the cover has been mounted, the force (F) applied to the lower part is in a pre-defined force range (B).

  • Patent number: 8127577
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lock, in particular a hoop lock, having a lock housing, in which a locking cylinder of the lock is arranged, including a cylinder housing, a barrel rotatably mounted in the cylinder housing and a driver unit associated in a drive effective manner with the barrel, and having at least one bolt coupled to the barrel via the driver unit, so that by rotating the barrel the at least one bolt is moveable from a locked position into a release position. The lock housing has a receiving space in an axial extension of the locking cylinder, with the locking cylinder or a part thereof being able to be displaced from an operational position into the receiving space on the application of a predefined force in the axial direction of the locking cylinder, to adopt a sabotage position, in which the coupling of the at least one bolt to the barrel is taken out of operation.

  • Patent number: 7983054
    Abstract: A motor vehicle control device includes a housing lid and a base plate that are connected with each other in an oil-tight manner via a frame. An interconnect device with at least one electronic component and/or at least one electrical contact area is arranged on the base plate. Respectively in the area of an electronic component and/or an electrical contact area, the base plate includes a foil conductor strip, of which an end section facing the interconnect device in turn includes an electrical contact area. The frame completely surrounds the interconnect device and includes one opening respectively in the area of an electrical contact area of the foil strip. Via connection lines, the electronics on the interconnect device are electrically connected with the contact area in the opening, and thus with the electronic components outside the control device.
