  • Patent number: 12193172
    Abstract: An electronics housing (10) including a circuit board (3) that is through-plated via press-fit connections (5), and including guide pins (6, 7) extending through circuit board through-holes (8, 9) provided in the circuit board (3). In order to simplify the assembly of the electronics housing (10), the guide pins (6, 7) protrude from a first press-fit body (4) of at least one first press-fit connection (5), and a second press-fit body of at least one second press-fit connection is guided onto the guide pins (6, 7) of the first press-fit body (4) on a side of the circuit board (3) facing away from the first press-fit body (4).

  • Patent number: 12055140
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an electric-motor-driven hydraulic pump actuator with two plate-like housing elements which are connected sealingly to one another with the interposition of an intermediate plate in order to form a housing in which a drive shaft is rotatably mounted. In order to improve the functionality and/or simplify manufacture of the electric-motor-driven hydraulic pump actuator, a bearing device for the drive shaft is secured in one of the housing elements by means of a spring device that passes through the intermediate plate via a through-hole through which the drive shaft extends.

  • Patent number: 8458315
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention include systems and methods for a computer-implemented, in-vehicle application platform (VAP) for conducting vehicle-to-business (V2B) communication. A V2B vehicle application layer resides within the vehicle. The VAP comprises a communication layer facilitating reliable message exchange between this vehicle application layer and V2B business applications. The VAP further comprises a HW abstraction layer encapsulating vehicle-specific interfaces both with regard to the CAN bus and the in-vehicle HMI. According to certain embodiments, these layers of the VAP provide their functionality via open, non-proprietary, and well-defined interfaces, allowing for efficient development of V2B applications and enhancing portability of the latter.

  • Patent number: 6570287
    Abstract: The invention relates to a spring element (10) for compensating for axial play in a motor shaft of an electric motor. The invention proposes embodying such a spring element (10) out of plastic and of one piece with a stop disk (12), which is connected via spring arms (14) to a support foot (16), and placing it, along with the support foot (16), onto a support sleeve (18) with which the spring element (10) can be press-fitted onto the motor shaft. The invention has the advantage that it eliminates the axial play in the motor shaft of an electric motor with a spring element (10) that is inexpensive to manufacture and easy to install (FIG. 1).
