  • Housing comprising an electronic component
    Patent number: 8253042
    Abstract: An arrangement of an electronic component in a plastic housing, including a cover and a lower part, and to a method for fixing the electronic component in the housing. The cover is connected to the lower part and exerts a pre-defined force (F) on the electronic component. The cover is designed such that the influence of the height tolerance (dh) of the electronic component on the force (F) can be compensated to the effect that, once the cover has been mounted, the force (F) applied to the lower part is in a pre-defined force range (B).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 23, 2008
    Date of Patent: August 28, 2012
    Assignee: Conti Temic microelectronic GmbH
    Inventors: Uwe Trenner, Matthias Wieczorek, Jürgen Henniger, Helmut Karrer, Alexander Wenk, Roland Falkner, Joachim Buhl

  • Operating element for a multi-media system in a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 7361854
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotating actuator/pressure actuator (13) comprising a ring-shaped rotary transducer (5) consisting of an inner ring and a rotary ring with a handle (1) and which can rotate around the inner ring about an axis (z) and which is displaceably arranged in a linear manner along the axis (Z) in relation to a housing (11), in addition to an inner part (touchpad 2) which is arranged in an inner area (12) of the ring-shaped rotary transducer (5) and which is displaceable in a linear manner along the axis (z) together with the ring-shaped rotary transducer (5) in relation to the housing (11). Linear displacement of the handle (1) and/or inner part (touchpad 2) triggers a push-button function.
