Patent number: 8651453Abstract: The invention relates to a valve cartridge for a solenoid valve, having a capsule, a magnetic armature that is movably guided within the capsule, a valve insert that is inserted into the capsule at a first end, and a valve body, which is pressed into a second end of the valve insert and has a main valve seat. The magnetic armature, moved by a generated magnetic force, moves a tappet guided within the valve insert. The tappet has a closing element with a sealing element which plunges into the main valve seat of the valve body in a sealing manner for carrying out a sealing function, and an associated solenoid valve. According to the invention the valve insert is configured as a one-part slotted bushing, and the valve body is configured as a bonnet-shaped bushing. The valve body configured as a bushing is pressed into a second end of the valve insert configured as a slotted bushing such that the main valve seat is disposed within the valve insert.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2008Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Klaus Heyer, Reinhard Fink, Florian Richter, Jean-Guillaume Pic, Daniel Brenndoerfer, Volkmar Wetschorek, Harald Speer, Florian Rispler, Oliver Holz, Friedrich Mueller, Nicolas Houis, Anton Fritz, Alice Schacherl, Franz Neuhauser, Hubert Rapp, Martin Haas, Christoph Kasper, Joerg Fricke-Schmidt, Guenther Schnalzger, Martin Kirschner, Elmar Vier, Stefan Eichmann, Jens Kolarsky, Gerhard Stokmaier, Dietmar Kratzer, Kurt Mueller

Patent number: 8072043Abstract: A semiconductor component and a method for manufacturing such a semiconductor component which has a resistance behavior which depends heavily on the temperature. This resistance behavior is obtained by a special multi-layer structure of the semiconductor component, one layer being designed in such a way that, for example, multiple p-doped regions are present in an n-doped region, said regions being short-circuited on one side via a metal-plated layer. For example, the semiconductor component may be used for reducing current peaks, by being integrated into a conductor. In the cold state, the semiconductor component has a high resistance which becomes significantly lower when the semiconductor component is heated as a result of the flowing current.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2005Date of Patent: December 6, 2011Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Peter Flohrs, Alfred Goerlach, Peter Urbach, Wolfgang Feiler, Ning Qu, Klaus Heyers
