Abstract: A sensor device for speed measurement on a wheel of a vehicle includes a sensor carrier with an integrated sensor to sense the rotation of a pole wheel that rotates along with the wheel. The sensor device has a clamping mechanism integrated into the sensor carrier by which the sensor carrier can be displaceably clamped into a holding opening in the region of the wheel and/or in any orientation with respect to rotations about the longitudinal axis of the sensor carrier. The sensor arrangement can be mounted with less effort and more cost-efficiently than with the current international standard of combining a clamping bush and subsequently mounted rod sensor. Spring-loaded clamps can be fastened as terminal blocks in longitudinal grooves in the sensor, and the spring-loaded elements thereof can protrude over the circumference of the sensor prior to mounting.

Abstract: A sensor device for measuring the rotational speed at a wheel of a vehicle has a sensor carrier with an active sensor for actively sensing the rotation of a pole wheel rotating along with the wheel to measure rotational speed. The sensor carrier is constructed and arranged such that it can be clamped in the region of the wheel to permit the active sensor to be used without requiring complex adjustment operations.

Abstract: Disclosed is a support (10) for a sensor element (11). The support (10) is for potting and manufacturing a rotational speed sensor. The support (10) comprises an at least partially hollow body for accommodating electric contacts and a potting compound. According to the invention, a cover (25) is provided for covering and filling a recess defined by the at least partially hollow body.

Abstract: A method for operating a directory assistance system responsive to Voice over IP device requests includes the steps of receiving a directory assistance request from at least one Voice over IP device and identifying the requested information for delivery to the Voice over IP device. The requested information is formatted in accordance with a format required by the Voice over IP device and a notification message is transmitted to the Voice over IP device indicating that information relating to the directory assistance request is available. A request from a web server is received for retrieval of the requested information in response to the directory assistance request, where the web server is accessed by the Voice over IP device after receipt of the notification message. The requested information is transmitted to the Voice over IP device via the web server.

Abstract: A control device for pressurized fluids includes a valve mechanism actuated by a first device incorporating electromagnets in a first housing, and a second device incorporating a circuit board for controlling the valve mechanism in a second housing. Pins on the first device and sockets on the second device automatically form an electrical plug-type connection when the housings are joined. Each socket is received in a first portion of a through-hole provided in a mount supported on the circuit board such that it extends into a corresponding through-hole in the circuit board. A second portion of each through-hole in each mount has a funnel-shaped guide opening toward the pins. A pressure sensor supported by the circuit board forms a plug-type engagement with a port extending from the valve mechanism when the housings are joined. Contacts extend from the sensor into holes in the circuit board.

Abstract: An electric contact plug receives a tip jack input at a plug-in zone, and completes the electrical connection via a connection zone to an electronic component, such as a printed circuit board. The electric contact plug also includes an intermediate zone, connected between the plug-in zone and the connection zone. The intermediate zone is designed to deform mechanically when the plug-in zone is subjected to vibrational stresses, as typically occur in a motor vehicle. As a result, the tip jack is held securely within the plug-in zone, while the intermediate zone absorbs the effects of the vibrational stresses. Thus, the inventive electric contact plug avoids the problems of friction and corrosion within the plug-in zone. Moreover, this electric contact plug is compatible with thick-wire bonding, and can be manufactured economically.

Abstract: A control device for pressurized fluids includes a valve mechanism that is actuated by a first electric device incorporating a pair of electromagnets disposed in a first housing component, and a second electric device incorporating a printed circuit board for controlling the valve mechanism disposed in a second housing component. For electrical connection of the two electric devices, male connector pins are provided on the first electric device and female connector sockets are provided on the second electric device. The male and female components automatically form a plug-type connection when the two housing components are joined together. Each female connector socket is received in a first portion of a through-hole provided in a mount supported on the circuit board such that it extends into, and preferably beyond, a corresponding through-hole in the circuit board.
