  • Publication number: 20240063843
    Abstract: A transceiver hybrid includes a multi-layer laminated hybrid comprising a coupler, the coupler including a first metal layer in a first layer of the multi-layer laminated hybrid having a first end coupled to a termination terminal and a second end coupled to a quadrature terminal; and a second metal layer in a second layer of the multi-layer laminated hybrid having a first end coupled to an antenna terminal, and a second end coupled to an in-phase terminal, wherein a width of the first metal layer is greater than a width of the second metal layer, such that a registration error margin is formed between the first metal layer and the second metal layer.

  • Patent number: 11377021
    Abstract: A motor vehicle headlight, that includes a main-light module that provides a dipped main-light function having a mainly horizontal cut-off line and a secondary light module that provides two individually controllable light functions: one main-light function and one less powerful additional light function. The dipped main-light function of the main-light module is activated in conjunction with the additional light function of the secondary light module, such that the at least one secondary light module appears to be illuminated approximately as brightly as the main-light module. The secondary light module has a light guide plate into which light is coupled that propagates in the light guide plate using total reflection, and the light guide plate has output elements for outputting the propagating light from the light guide plate. The light output of the light guide plate illuminates an area above the cut-off line of the dipped main-light function of the main-light module.

  • Patent number: 10208910
    Abstract: A motor vehicle headlamp having a first reflection module, including a first reflector, a first group of LED chips and a second group of LED chips, having a second reflection module, which comprises a second reflector, a third group of LED chips and a fourth group of LED chips, and having a control circuit, which is configured to control the current flow through the light emitting diodes, and which is configured to activate the LED chips of the first group together with the LED chips of the fourth group, wherein the LED chips of the second group and the LED chips of the third group are deactivated. The control circuit activates the LED chips of the second group together with the LED chips of the third group, wherein the LED chips of the first group and the LED chips of the fourth group are deactivated.

  • Publication number: 20090288792
    Abstract: A method produces pressed products from fiber-containing raw materials such as wood, straw, peat or suchlike, which are also referred to as secondary raw materials. In order to produce well pressed products, fiber-containing raw materials are mixed with water, vapor and, if need be, further additives while heating the raw materials and additives, the mixture being held at high temperature for a lengthy period of time before pressing.
