  • Publication number: 20260029268
    Abstract: A level sensor includes a housing and at least one sensor that is designed to measure a pressure of a medium and that is electrically connected to evaluation electronics. The level sensor also includes a connection cable that is guided through the housing in a sealing section. At least one crimp sleeve is pressed around the connection cable in the sealing section inside the housing. A pressing element is fastened in the sealing section of the housing in such a way that the crimp sleeve is pressed against a sealing surface of the sealing section. The housing or at least the sealing section of the housing is at least partially filled with a first casting, and the casting encloses the connection cable, at least in sections.

  • Publication number: 20240190418
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electronic control device of a first vehicle configured to carry out a method of: checking a trajectory of the first vehicle, which trajectory is planned cooperatively with a second vehicle, with respect to a potential safety-critical traffic situation by means of a checking apparatus of the first vehicle on the basis of sensor information from at least one sensor of the first vehicle and/or on the basis of object data from a fusion of sensor information from at least two sensors of the first vehicle; and outputting a signal for initiating a safety measure or executing the planned trajectory depending on a result of the check.

  • Publication number: 20230225071
    Abstract: A radio sensor module having a sensor base module having at least one sensor circuit board that has a sensor, and/or having a terminal for connection to a sensor external to the radio sensor module; a process terminal and/or an extended sensor terminal; a housing portion that accommodates the sensor base module and the sensor circuit board; and a radio sensor unit having a structural carrier that carries therein a radio circuit board and an energy store that supplies the radio circuit board with electrical energy. The energy store has an electrical battery and an electrical condenser which are electrically connected in parallel. A modular system is also provided for forming such a radio sensor module.
