  • Device for triggering passive passenger safety measures
    Patent number: 7597171
    Abstract: A system for triggering passive occupant safety measures in a motor vehicle is described. The system includes a control unit, a plurality of acceleration sensors for detecting the acceleration caused by an impact of the motor vehicle as well as feed lines assigned to the acceleration sensors, by which feed lines the output signals of the acceleration sensors are transmitted to the control unit which analyzes the signals to determine the type and/or severity of the impact, and triggers appropriate safety measures. The sensors are mounted on a vehicle part of a low structural stiffness on the outer vehicle circumferences, and all surrounding vehicle parts of high stiffness are designed to prevent contact with the sensors after an impact of the motor vehicle of a low or medium severity within a minimum reaction time period.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: October 6, 2009
    Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft
    Inventors: Richard Baur, Jan Urbahn, Willibald Watzka, Mario Nagelstrasser

  • II-VI semiconductor component having at least one junction between a layer containing Se and a layer containing BeTe, and process for producing the junction
    Patent number: 6372536
    Abstract: The invention relates to a II-VI semiconductor component in which, within a series of layers, there is provided at least one junction between a semiconductor layer containing BeTe and a semiconductor layer containing Se. A boundary layer between the semiconductor layer containing BeTe and the semiconductor layer containing Se is prepared in such a way that it forms a Be—Se configuration.
