Abstract: A method for producing an electronic sensor module includes applying first soldering material onto electrical soldering pads of a printed circuit board element and/or electrical soldering pads of a printed circuit board element contact side of a sensor carrier, arranging the sensor carrier with the electrical soldering pads of the printed circuit board element contact side on the electrical soldering pads of the printed circuit board element to produce electrical connections between connecting lines and the printed circuit board element, applying second soldering material onto electrical connecting elements of a sensor element and/or soldering pads of the sensor receptacle, arranging the sensor element in the sensor receptacle such that the second soldering material produces electrical connections between the electrical connecting elements of the sensor element and the soldering pads of the sensor receptacle, and reflow-soldering the first soldering material and the second soldering material in a joint reflow

Abstract: A clutch sensor system includes a clutch part that is rotatable about and axially displaceable along an axis of rotation, and a sensor device having at least one sensor element configured to detect a rotary movement parameter of the clutch part. A circumferential transmitter structure is disposed on a circumference of the clutch part, and has a first sub-structure and at least one second sub-structure that follow each other in alternating fashion in a circumferential direction. The sub-structures are separated by structure transitions that move past a detection area of the sensor element as the clutch part rotates, whereby the sensor device generates a sensor signal that includes information about the rotary movement parameter. A circumferential distance between successive structure transitions depends on an axial displacement of the clutch part, such that the sensor signal also includes information about the axial displacement position of the clutch part.

Abstract: A sensor for a transmission-shift control of a motor vehicle is described. The sensor is connectable to a supply voltage (Vs) and to ground (GND). The sensor generates a signal voltage (Vout). The signal voltage (Vout) may assume two signals (high, low), both signals (high, low) being different from the supply voltage (Vs) and from ground (GND).

Abstract: A method for increasing the information density on a signal-transmission line. The signal-transmission line extends from a sensor to a control unit. A modulated signal, which includes a digital signal, is transmitted on the signal-transmission line. The digital signal assumes either a high level or a low level. The modulated signal includes an encoded pulse signal, which is superimposed on the digital signal and has both an encoded pulse duration and a variable pulse frequency.

Abstract: A method for operating a motor vehicle such as a passenger car, which is equipped with a motor and an electronically controlled, continuously variable transmission includes the steps of: detecting a driving state defined by downhill travel; detecting the speed of the vehicle at the start of the downhill travel and storing the vehicle speed; continuously changing the transmission in such a manner that the vehicle speed is substantially maintained while utilizing the braking action of the motor thereby defining a downhill travel motor braking mode of operation; and/or, detecting possible slip at the wheels of the motor vehicle and adjusting a corresponding other, lower gear ratio continuously on the transmission so that the slip is reduced or is entirely eliminated thereby defining a slip-adjustment mode of operation; and/or, detecting if a braking operation is present and, during braking operation, continuously adjusting the transmission by changing the gear ratio to support the brakes of the motor vehicle to
