Patent number: 9194413Abstract: A fixing device (200) for fixing in an opening in a wall of a vehicle includes a support element (210) with at least one support lug (220). The fixing device (200) also includes a retaining element (230) with at least one retaining arm (240) for fixing the fixing device (200) to the wall. To fix the fixing device (200) in relation to the support element (210), the retaining element (230) runs through the support element (210) and can rotate, the support lug (220) being designed to block the rotation of the support element (210).Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2009Date of Patent: November 24, 2015Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Markus Christoph, Michael Kaupp, Roland Seitz, Richard Baur, Georg Mascha, Markus Breitenberger, Dag-Olof Kardell, Boris Adam, Thomas Klierl, Rolf Bechtle, Frank Ocker, Adam Balogh, Christian Plankl, Werner Menzel

Patent number: 8528413Abstract: A peripheral pressure sensor for a motor vehicle has a sensor chip and a gasket sealing a sensing unit of the sensor chip from the surroundings, which gasket has a pressure channel through which pressure information is transmitted to the sensing unit of the sensor chip. The peripheral pressure sensor is made by an injection molding method in which an opening in the gasket is placed on the sensing unit of the sensor chip, and subsequently an assembly of the sensor chip and the gasket is surrounded by extrusion coating such that an outer edge opposite the sensing unit and/or an outer opening in the gasket remains at least partially free.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2011Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Roland Seitz, Peter Kunert, Gustav Klett, Matthias Ludwig

Patent number: 7609981Abstract: Techniques to control an optical receiver having a control loop using Bit Error Rate (BER). In one implementation, a bit error rate (BER) associated with a received optical signal is determined. Indication of the BER to a control loop adapted is provided to adjust the optical signal in a manner tending to reduce the BER. The received optical signal is adapted in a manner tending to increase the BER such that the control loop operates within an active control region.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2005Date of Patent: October 27, 2009Assignee: Alcatel-Lucent USA Inc.Inventors: Andreas Benz, Siegfried Gronbach, Roland Seitz

Patent number: 5880657Abstract: The propagation of very high frequency signals, e.g., 8 to 10 GHz, via a path printed on a printed wiring board is enhanced by arranging the path so that it simulates a high-quality transmission path at very high frequencies. The path comprises a conventional lead and a series of microstrips, in which the design of the microstrips is optimized to (a) minimize insertion loss and group delay distortion, (b) maximize return loss, and (c) minimize pulse distortion.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 1997Date of Patent: March 9, 1999Assignee: Lucent Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Claus Dorschky, Sean Ortiz, Kwangsoo Park, Roland Seitz, David L.
