  • Patent number: 10640063
    Abstract: An electrical load, for example and electrical component and/or an electronic component, of a motor vehicle may include a first electrical system part and a second electrical system part for supplying the electrical load with electrical energy from a first vehicle electrical system and a second vehicle electrical system, respectively. The first vehicle electrical system part may be electrically coupled to a diode element for transferring an activation signal to an electrical energy supply unit provided in the second electrical system part. The electrical energy supply unit may be switched between an active state where a supply voltage is provided to the electrical load and an idle state where the supply voltage to the electrical load is suspended.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9669780
    Abstract: An electrical system assembly for a motor vehicle may include a first electrical system and a second electrical system galvanically isolated from the first electrical system. The second electrical system may be switchable between an idle state and an active state. A capacitive coupling element may couple the first electrical system to the second electrical system. A signal transmission unit may be arranged in the first electrical system and may be configured to transmit an activation signal to the capacitive coupling element for activating the second electrical system. A signal receiving unit may be arranged in the second electrical system and be configured to receive the activation signal via the capacitive coupling element and switch the second electrical system from the idle state to the active state.

  • Patent number: 9366259
    Abstract: An electric fluid pump may include a wet section having a pump wheel and a permanently excited rotor of an electric motor arranged therein. The electric fluid pump may include a dry section having a stator of the electric motor arranged therein. A containment shell may be included configured to separate the wet section from the dry section. The dry section may include control electronics for controlling the fluid pump. The control electronics may connect in a heat-transferring manner to the containment shell and the wet section via the containment shell.
