Abstract: A pressure-compensation unit, particularly for a tank-pressure sensor in a tank of a motor vehicle. The pressure-compensation unit includes a housing lid and a gas-permeable filter diaphragm, which covers an air hole. The pressure-compensation unit includes a cap-shaped cover element, which covers the filter diaphragm.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a photochemical method for manufacturing nanometrically surface-decorated substrates, i.e. the creation of periodic and aperiodic patterns of highly ordered inorganic nanostructures on a substrate. This method is based on the selective photochemical modification of a self-assembled monolayer of metal compound loaded polymer core-shell systems on widely variable substrates. Light exposure through an appropriate mask causes selective chemical modification of the polymer core shell system. By subsequently placing the substrate in an appropriate chemical solution that eradicates the non-modified polymer, the pattern given by the used mask is reproduced on the surface. Finally, the remaining organic matrix is removed and metal salt is transformed to the single metal or metal oxide nanodots by means of gas plasma treatment.

Abstract: A pressure sensor including a molded seal. With the aid of the molded seal the pressure sensor is held in place in an installation hole and seals the latter. The molded seal is attached to a sensor stem in a form locked manner. The molded seal is made of an elastic material and has, on its end facing away from the sensor head, a protrusion whose diameter exceeds the diameter of the installation hole. At least one annular recess is provided on the circumference of the sensor stem.
