Abstract: A level radar is switchable between pulsed and FMCW radar methods. For example, the radar device may include two separate front ends which can be activated selectively via a logic control system.

In this way, it is possible to use advantageous properties of both measurement methods in a targeted manner.

Abstract: Conventionally, turbocharger bearing housings are cast, and then oil passageways are drilled or bored into the casting. As a result, bores are limited to straight lines extending from drill access points. Greater design flexibility is provided by pre-staging in a mold a collection of metal pipes which will define one or more of oil, air and water galleries, and then casting a bearing housing around the pipes. This provides almost unlimited freedom in shaping and locating the oil bores and other features.
