Publication number: 20250056717Abstract: An electronic assembly is disclosed. The electronic assembly includes a printed circuit board including an alternating arrangement of electrically conducting layers and electrically insulated layers, and at least one electronic module fixed on a first side of the printed circuit board. The electronic module includes multiple pins so as to electrically couple the electronic module and the printed circuit board. The electronic assembly also includes at least one cooling module placed on a second side of the printed circuit board. Each electrically conductive layer of the printed circuit board includes a non-electrically conductive area extending along at least a part of a closed outline positioned around a central axis going through a center of the cooling module and a center of the electronic module.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2022Publication date: February 13, 2025Applicant: VALEO COMFORT AND DRIVING ASSISTANCEInventors: Matthias Wellens, Simon Pfaff, Hubert Gleich, Dirk Wischnewski

Patent number: 10685077Abstract: An approach for initiating a computing task based on generation of a statement or question formed using context information related to a user is described herein. A request generation platform determines an input from a device specifying at least one term. Context information associated with the device, a user of the device, one or more other devices, one or more other users, or a combination thereof is then determined. The request generation platform further causes, at least in part, a generation of at least one question, at least one statement, or a combination thereof based, at least in part, on the at least one term and the context information.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2017Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: HERE Global B.V.Inventor: Matthias Pfaff

Publication number: 20130166555Abstract: An approach is provided for efficiently managing contact data in a phonebook by utilizing social proximity information at a device. An application and/or a widget processes and analyzes contact details associated with one or more contacts in order to determine a similarity to one or more other contact details associated with one or more users and/or one or more other contacts. Further, the application and/or the widget can determine one or more social proximity information items associated with the one or more contacts, the one or more users and/or the one or more other contacts and can utilize the social proximity information to manage (e.g., organize, group, sort, etc.) the contact data in the phonebook.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2011Publication date: June 27, 2013Applicant: NOKIA CORPORATIONInventor: Matthias PFAFF

Patent number: 5322460Abstract: Receptacle terminal (2) has a web portion (18) and resilient sidewalls (20) which extend in one direction from the web (18). The sidewalls (20) extend inwardly over the web (18) and have free edge portions (22) which are spaced from the web (18) and which engage a tab (6) which is inserted into the receptacle terminal (2). The receptacle terminal (2) has first terminal engagement means (24, 26, 28) which cooperate with a leading portion (30) and an opening (40) of the tab (6) to position the receptacle terminal (2) in a preassembled position when the tab (6) is inserted onto the receptacle terminal (2). Second terminal engagement means (32) are provided on receptacle terminal (2) proximate inner end (14). The second terminal engagement means (32) cooperate with the opening (40) of tab (6) to position the receptacle terminal (2) in a fully assembled position when the tab ( 6) is inserted onto the receptacle terminal (2).Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 1993Date of Patent: June 21, 1994Assignee: The Whitaker CorporationInventors: Jurgen Hass, Matthias Pfaff
