  • Patent number: 9743563
    Abstract: A control unit for use in the engine compartment or in the transmission of a motor vehicle. The control unit has a line section for an engine or transmission fluid, a circuit carrier, and a base plate. The base body is mounted on the base plate. The circuit carrier is arranged between the base body and the base plate. The base body has a plurality of parallel channels each having a respective outlet. At least one of the plurality of parallel channels forms a portion of the line section. A separate cover is mounted on the base body, the cover having a single inlet coupled to the plurality of parallel channels. The cover is, other than only the inlet, connected to the base body in a fluid-tight manner, and the inlet is the only fluid passage through the cover.

  • Patent number: 9497875
    Abstract: A control device for a motor vehicle includes a housing having a housing cover and a housing base, a sealing device between the housing cover and the housing base, at least one circuit carrier having electrically conductive tracks, and at least one electronic component disposed on the circuit carrier. The control device further includes at least one conductor structure extending out of the interior of the housing, and at least one electrically conductive connecting line which connects the electronic component to the conductor structure. A getter layer is thermally sprayed on the inner face of the housing to protect the metal parts, which transmit current or data in the interior of the control device, against corrosive gases. The getter layer has a high specific surface area.

  • Publication number: 20100101512
    Abstract: A control device for use in the engine compartment or in the transmission of a motor vehicle. The control device has a housing comprising a housing section for a control unit. The housing also has a line section for the motor or transmission fluid. The line section is thermally coupled to the housing section for the control unit. Such a control device and a cooling arrangement therefore ensure that the electronic components in the control device are cooled such that a pre-determined temperature limit for the electronic components is not exceeded.

  • Publication number: 20070035053
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a mold for producing transparent optical elements from polymeric materials. In this case, the optical elements that can be produced in this way are intended to have at least surface regions which have reduced interfacial reflection. According to the invention, the procedure followed here is that, in the case of a reference element which consists of a polymeric material and corresponds to the respective optical element, the entire surface or a correspondingly selected surface is exposed to the influence of high-energy ions in a vacuum. In this way, an irregular nanostructure with alternately arranged elevations and depressions lying in between is formed on the corresponding surfaces. Subsequently, a thin electrically conducting layer is applied and electrochemical forming is carried out in order to obtain a mold with a negative contour which is superposed by the nanostructure.
