  • Patent number: 11354528
    Abstract: A code reading device for the parallel reading of a plurality of codes on a plurality of objects arranged next to one another is provided that has a camera unit having at least one camera head for recording an image of the objects, a control and evaluation unit that is configured to localize code zones of the codes in the image and to read the code information of the codes, and a display unit to present the image and to mark the read codes and/or objects having read codes, Here a hand reading unit for reading codes is provided to subsequently read codes not read by means of the camera unit and to transfer the subsequently read code information to the control and evaluation unit.

  • Patent number: 11325458
    Abstract: A transmission (G) for a motor vehicle includes a housing (GG), a gear set (RS) arranged within the housing (GG), an electric machine (EM), and a power electronics module (LE). The power electronics module (LE) includes a carrier element (S), a DC voltage terminal (DC), an inverter (INV), and an AC voltage terminal (AC). The housing (GG) includes, on an outer wall (GGA), a region (GGE) for accommodating the power electronics module (LE), which is closable with the carrier element (S) of the power electronics module (LE). The region (GGE) of the housing (GG) and an inner side (SI) of the carrier element (S) form a dry space (TR) for accommodating the inverter (INV), which is attached to the carrier element (S). The region (GGE) of the housing (GG) at least partially separates the gear set (RS) from the dry space (TR).

  • Publication number: 20160212835
    Abstract: The current embodiments provide an assembly for cooling a printed circuit board with at least one electronic component disposed on a first surface of the printed circuit board. The assembly may have a housing with first and second elastic elements and a cooling element configured to cool the at least one electronic component. The printed circuit board may be held between the first and second elastic elements in the housing. The assembly may further have at least one cooling surface region protruding from the cooling element and facing toward a second surface facing opposite the first surface of the printed circuit board in a region opposite of the electronic component.
