  • Publication number: 20150375701
    Abstract: One bumper system for a vehicle includes a bumper bracket and a deformation element connected to the bumper bracket. The bumper bracket is composed of a metallic workpiece with an undulating form such that the bumper bracket has at least one undulation trough and at least two undulation peaks, and reinforcement zones are formed in regions of the undulation trough. Another bumper system for a vehicle includes a bumper bracket and a deformation element connected to the bumper bracket. The bumper bracket has an undulating form such that the bumper bracket has a plurality of undulation troughs and a plurality of undulation peaks, and reinforcement zones are formed in each undulation trough. In each system, a second deformation element may be connected to the bumper bracket, and at least one characteristic of the reinforcement zones may increase or decrease between the deformation elements and a middle of the bumper bracket.

  • Publication number: 20150375702
    Abstract: A device for absorbing energy in the event of a vehicle collision includes a body component of a motor vehicle, a thrust body for transmitting force, and a metal band for absorbing energy. The body component has a guide for the thrust body, and the body component has a deviating point for the deviating of the metal band. The thrust body has a fastening point for the fastening of the metal band. The metal band is coupled to the deviating point of the body component and to the fastening point of the thrust body such that the metal band is subjected to a tensile load when the thrust body is pushed into the guide of the body component. A distance between the deviating point and the fastening point is selectively adjustable.

  • Patent number: 9108224
    Abstract: A sorting installation and a sorting method jointly sort two kinds of flat mail items. For each article to be sorted, a value that a prescribed sorting feature assumes for the article is measured. The article is transported by a first transport device to a separating filter. An article of the first article kind is redirected in a first outward-transfer device. On the basis of the ascertained sorting feature value, one sorting output from a first set of sorting outputs is selected. The article is transferred outward to the selected sorting output from the first sorting output set. An article of the second article kind is redirected to a second transport device and transported to a second outward-transfer device. On the basis of the ascertained sorting feature value, one sorting output from a second set of sorting outputs is selected.

  • Patent number: 9086328
    Abstract: An apparatus and method is described for measuring a local surface temperature of a semiconductor device under stress. The apparatus includes a substrate, and a reference MOSFET. The reference MOSFET may be disposed closely adjacent to the semiconductor device under stress. A local surface temperature of the semiconductor device under stress may be measured using the reference MOSFET, which is not under stress. The local surface temperature of the semiconductor device under stress may be determined as a function of drain current values of the reference MOSFET measured before applying stress to the semiconductor device and while the semiconductor device is under stress.

  • Patent number: 8999215
    Abstract: A cover that is assembled from a front assembly (3+6) and a base element (2) is produced in that the front assembly including the front plate (3) and the light conductor pin (6) are integrally injection molded in two subsequent injection molding steps, while the base element (2) is injection molded remote there from. Subsequently, the two components which are arranged in the different tool halves (101, 102) are brought in alignment with one another with an index plate (103) and are joined through closing the tool and are preferably interlocked with one another.

  • Patent number: 8999214
    Abstract: In order for light conductor pins (6) in dead hole channels (5) of a plastic cover not to be melted together at their entire side walls with the cover they are produced through a particular injection molding tool in the same tool as the cover and the tool slide (104) which is a component of the injection molding tool (100) is aligned in the injection molding tool (100) with the dead hole channels (5) and inserted into the dead hole channels. The front plate is integrally molded with the base component before or after the light conductor pins are inserted into the base component. When the integral molding is performed after inserting the light conductor pins (6) the integral molding is also provided e.g. at a face of the inserted light conductor pins (6).

  • Patent number: 8651562
    Abstract: The invention relates to a B-pillar reinforcement of a motor vehicle having an upper region for joining the B-pillar reinforcement to the roof region of the motor vehicle and a lower region for joining the B-pillar reinforcement to a floor support of the motor vehicle, which B-pillar reinforcement comprises at least one hollow profile made of metal, in particular steel, and the hollow profile forms the upper and lower regions of the B-pillar reinforcement. The object of providing an improved B-pillar reinforcement which, on the one hand, is optimised in respect of a load-appropriate configuration with a minimum weight, allows a very good integration of additional components of the B-pillar, is achieved in that the hollow profile has at least to some extent a substantially trapezoidal cross-sectional surface in one of the regions and has an at least partly U-shaped cross-sectional surface in the other region.
