  • Patent number: 10951086
    Abstract: An electric device comprises an internal wiring and a housing. The housing includes a base and a cover. The base has a wiring guide member and a terminal area in which the internal wiring is connected to an outside electric conductor. The cover has a trough section into which the terminal area at least partly extends. The trough section has a trough wall which abuts the base to form a sealing surface. The wiring guide member supports the internal wiring at a position spaced apart from the sealing surface and opposite the trough wall and the internal wiring extends over the trough wall and into the trough section to the terminal area.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8091968
    Abstract: A solenoid valve controller includes a control housing having a base provided with projections. Each of the projections has a recess provided therein. At least one elastomer element is arranged between at least two of the projections. A magnet coil yoke abuts the elastomer element and is fixed to at least one of the recesses. The elastomer element drives the magnet coil yoke away from the base and into engagement with an outer side of the hydraulic device when the magnet coil yoke is pressed toward the base by the outer side of the hydraulic device. The magnet coil yoke receives a solenoid valve unit of the hydraulic device therein.

  • Patent number: 7639095
    Abstract: A system includes a first and second circuit electromagnetically coupled to establish a contact-less transmission, for example, between a vehicle body and a removable seat of the vehicle body. The first circuit includes a first inductor and the second circuit includes a second inductor. In order to detect in the first circuit the status of one or more input signals of the second circuit, the second circuit includes a signal generating portion including a resistor and a capacitor that generates, a time-pulsed signal. The second circuit is adapted to set a value of at least one of the resistor and the capacitor based on a sensed parameter and sets a duty cycle of the time-pulsed signal based on a value of at least one of the resistor and the capacitor. The time-pulsed signal changes a load of the second circuit over time which can be detected in the first circuit.

  • Patent number: 6464532
    Abstract: A connector for at least one flat foil conductor of a flat foil with at least one electrical contact for connecting to and making contact with the flat foil conductor on the one hand and for making contact with a mating contact on the other hand, with a housing with at least one receiving chamber for receiving the contact, with a cable-side end, with a back wall and with a part movable relative to the back wall which can be fixed in an end position parallel to the back wall, wherein the flat foil comes to rest between back wall and part, and the back wall has at least one opening and the part has at least one pin (11) which engages in the end position through the flat foil in the opening and thereby provides a strain relief for the flat foil.
