Abstract: A housing assembly for a fluid sensor assembly includes a housing having a first and second sensing volumes. A fluid port attached to the housing has a porous membrane covering first and second fluid apertures. The first sensing volume included a vertically-oriented waveguide and is fluidly coupled to an exterior of the housing through the first fluid aperture, where the first aperture port has an area smaller than an area of a cross section of the waveguide.

Abstract: A method for monitoring an on-board power supply of a motor vehicle. A power distributor is provided, via which a supply voltage is supplied to a safety-relevant consumer and via which non-safety-relevant consumers are supplied. A disconnection of consumers takes place if at least one measure of the voltage applied at least to the safety-relevant consumer reaches a limit value. After disconnecting consumers, the measure of the voltage applied to the safety-relevant consumer is ascertained. The measure of the voltage applied to the respective safety-relevant consumer is respectively compared to a further limit value for a sufficient voltage. From the disconnected consumers, at least one consumer to be connected is selected, which is connected if the limit value is respectively reached at the safety-relevant consumers. The consumer to be connected is selected as a function of a connection measure such that the connection measure is not exceeded.
