Patent number: 12327912Abstract: A vehicle antenna module including a first main printed circuit board seated horizontally in a housing, at least one second printed circuit board including a radio frequency antenna mounted vertically on the first printed circuit board and projecting from an upper face of the housing, a cover mounted on the housing and designed to cover at least the second printed circuit board. The antenna module being such that the cover includes a shell and an elastic element. The elastic element being designed to exert a pressure on the upper edge of the second board when the cover is in place on the housing in order to provide an electrical contact between the lower edge of the second board and at least one flexible contact element on the surface of the first board.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2023Date of Patent: June 10, 2025Assignee: CONTINENTAL AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGIES GMBHInventor: Jean-Philippe Bekaert

Patent number: 11856734Abstract: A set of electronic package elements intended to be mounted on an electronic board having a component to be cooled including: a chassis, a heatsink fixed by a retaining piece inside the chassis, a cover configured to be fixed on the chassis so as to retain the electronic board in the package. The heatsink is configured to be fixed on the electronic board while maintaining a predetermined distance between a lower face of the heatsink and the component. The cover is configured to be able to be fixed by a fixing point to the heatsink. The retaining piece is connected to the heatsink so as to allow the heatsink a translational movement relative to the chassis in three orthogonal directions.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2021Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: CONTINENTAL AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGIES GMBHInventors: Jean-Philippe Bekaert, Gilles Le Roy

Patent number: 11844196Abstract: An electronic housing element intended to be fastened to a circuit board having a component to be cooled, including: a frame made of plastics material having a rigid surround and an upper wall, and a radiator intended to cool the component, having: a gripping portion protruding from the upper wall of the frame and designed so as to engage with gripping claws of a gripping device, and a holding portion engaging with the upper wall of the frame. The upper wall of the frame is formed from a material that has a deflection temperature under load and is designed to deform in order to allow the orientation of the radiator to be adjusted when the upper wall reaches the deflection temperature under load.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2021Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: CONTINENTAL AUTOMOTIVE GMBHInventor: Jean-Philippe Bekaert

Publication number: 20170334363Abstract: Disclosed is a mechanical holder for a mobile device on board a vehicle, including two jaws that are rotatably hinged about an axis and close on the mobile device, the closing movement of the two jaws being such that, regardless of the mobile device engageable with the mechanical holder, the position of the mobile device is identical. The two jaws each have a gear wheel secured thereto, wherein the gear wheel is mounted on an axis parallel to the axis of rotation of the jaws and engages with the other wheel to form a gearing and to allow each jaw to rotate simultaneously and identically relative to the axes of rotation of the respective gear wheels thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2015Publication date: November 23, 2017Inventor: Jean-Philippe BEKAERT

Patent number: 8348903Abstract: A cartridge for radiopharmaceutical packaging includes a low UV-absorbing plastic barrel, closed at one end by a cap and at the other by a piston. A shoulder cooperates with the barrel in a double-level snap-on system with a cavity cooperating with an injection fitting sleeve to make a seal. At a first end the cap has a peel-off porous liner covering the cavity. Radial fins protrude inside the cavity, for screwing the injection fitting and second radial fins protrude outside of the cap to fix to a cartridge protection shield. A second end minimizes a shadow area of UV flash lamp sterilization and ensures clearance for inserting an injection spike. The second end has a reduced wall thickness pierced by the spike during set up for dispensing of the pharmaceutical. An external cylindrical zone at the second end ensures leak tightness between the cap and the barrel.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 2006Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: Trasis S.A.Inventors: Frédéric Baplue, Philippe Bekaert, Jean-Luc Morelle, Gauthier Philippart
