  • Publication number: 20160297406
    Abstract: The invention proposes an arrangement for controlling a windshield wiper system and/or windshield washer system of a vehicle, having at least one sensor for recording ambient parameters, which sensor is connected via a control unit for purposes of controlling with a drive unit of the windshield wiper system and/or windshield washer system. The control unit is connected with a correction request recording actuating element of the windshield wiper system and/or windshield washer system, for providing adaptive control. Furthermore, the invention proposes a method for adapting a characteristic diagram for controlling a windshield wiper system and/or windshield washer system, depending on ambient parameters, wherein the actuating intensity of the windshield wiper system and/or windshield washer system stored in a characteristic diagram, depending on multiple ambient parameters, is changed and stored individually, depending on a correction request by the driver.

  • Publication number: 20130215582
    Abstract: The invention relates to a control device assembly, in particular for a motor vehicle, comprising a printed circuit board that receives the control device electronics. At least one discretely formed frame element is supported on a populated face of the printed circuit board, enclosing at least one electronic component. A seal sits against an outer circumferential surface of the frame element, said seal surrounding the circumferential surface, and the seal is pressed against the printed circuit board by a housing element in order to form an electronic chamber that is sealed in a media-tight manner.

  • Patent number: 5574446
    Abstract: In a keyboard housing a housing top with a key pad and a housing bottom with support legs wherein the housing includes a support mat and a multi-layer contact foil set arranged underneath the key pad to be actuated thereby, a metal plate is embedded in a recess formed in the housing bottom below the contact foil set so as to increase weight and rigidity of the housing without the need for special molded housing reinforcement structures, the housing bottom, however, having U-shaped reinforcement web structures with bearing studs at their base areas near the housing bottom and housing legs with bearing holes receiving the bearing studs so as to be pivotally supported thereby, the housing legs having locking grooves and the housing bottom having, between the web structures, engagement tongues with locking ribs for engagement with the locking grooves in the housing legs.

  • Patent number: 5488213
    Abstract: A key switch which is particularly suitable for low profile keyboards includes a plunger whose contacting movement is converted by means of trigger cams into a movement perpendicularly to the plunger movement for switching a contactor which is movable relative to a stationary contact element, the contactor being formed as annular sheet metal part which is elongate in a direction normal to the switching movement and due to its length can accommodate relatively high stress without material fatigue.
