  • Patent number: 9788465
    Abstract: An actuator apparatus is described as having a stator device, a cover device, a contact device and an attenuation device. The stator device and the cover device are joined in such a manner so that a hollow space is formed between the stator device and the cover device. The cover device has an opening, through which the contact device is guided into the hollow space, so that the contact device runs at least partially in the hollow space and at least partially in the cover device. The attenuation device is positioned in the opening in such a manner so that a high-frequency electromagnetic radiation that travels through the opening is more highly attenuated by the attenuation device than the radiation would be attenuated without the presence of the attenuation device.

  • Patent number: 8943460
    Abstract: A control unit, e.g., for a motor vehicle, includes a circuit board, a high-impedance circuit component situated on the circuit board and having an impedance of 1 k? or higher in relation to ground of the control unit, and at least one conductive protection element electrically connected to ground and situated adjacent to the high-impedance circuit component. The protection element has a height within a protective distance from the high-impedance circuit component that is at least equal to the protective distance. A method for designing a circuit board of a control unit, and a computer program product for executing the method, include the steps of specifying a position of the high-impedance circuit component, and specifying a position of the protection element such that the protection element has a height within a protective distance from the high-impedance circuit component that is at least equal to the protective distance.

A data signal to be shielded is connectable to at least one first contact element of the first and/or second terminal element. At least two second contact elements in the first terminal element and/or second terminal element are situated adjoining the at least one first contact element. The plug system is characterized in that the at least two second contact elements are conductively connected in the first terminal element and in the second terminal element.
