  • Publication number: 20220151105
    Abstract: A cooling device for an object detection sensor, having a sensor-side heat transmission element, a sensor-distant heat absorption element, wherein the sensor-side heat transmission element and the sensor-distant heat absorption element are arranged opposite to one another, wherein a heat transmission surface of the sensor-distant heat transmission element and a heat absorption surface of the sensor-distant heat absorption element are designed to be spaced apart from one another by an intermediate space. Furthermore, an object detection sensor including such a cooling device is described.

  • Publication number: 20210331650
    Abstract: A de-icing system for a sensor is provided. The de-icing system has a heating element for tempering a fluid, a flow generator for driving a fluid, and a cover element, which separates an external area from an internal area. The cover element is configured in such a way that a fluid driven by the flow generator flows along the cover element, in order to heat the cover element up.

  • Publication number: 20210116545
    Abstract: The invention relates to a LIDAR measuring system, comprising an emitter element, a sensor element and an optical element, wherein the emitter element emits a laser light of a first wavelength which strikes the LIDAR measuring system again after a reflection at an object, wherein the incident laser light passes through the optical element and strikes the sensor element, a wavelength converter being formed on the LIDAR measuring system which converts the first wavelength of the laser light into a second wavelength, so that the laser light of the second wavelength strikes the sensor element.

  • Publication number: 20200358249
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a semiconductor package and to a LIDAR transmitting unit including such a semiconductor package. The semiconductor package has a surface-emitting laser, at least one driver circuit for the surface-emitting laser, a connecting structure and at least one interposer. The connecting structure includes a plurality of solder bumps. The surface-emitting laser is electrically connected to the at least one driver circuit via the at least one interposer and the connecting structure.

  • Patent number: 10408639
    Abstract: A shifting device with two positive-locking shifting element halves includes a positive connection between the shifting element halves that is able to be established or released. The respective prevailing operating states of the shifting element halves are determined through a sensor device. The surface areas of an encoder contour relative to a measuring device are formed in a convex or concave manner, whereas a perpendicular gap between the surface areas of the encoder contour and a permanent magnet, starting from a joint area between the surface areas in the direction of an end area of the surface areas increases or decreases in each case.

  • Patent number: 9518615
    Abstract: A component of a transmission device, which rotates around a central axis and is adjustable in an axial direction, includes with an encoder contour on the circumference of the component that interacts with a sensor device. The encoder contour features at least one area provided for calculating the axial position of the component, whereas a surface of the first area is designed with a varying radial extension along the axial direction relative to the central axis. The encoder contour has second areas for calculating the rotational speed of the component, whereas a slope of a radial surface of the second areas in the axial direction is differentiated from a slope of the surface of the first areas in the axial direction. In the circumferential direction of the component, the encoder contour is designed alternately with first areas and second areas.

  • Publication number: 20160178401
    Abstract: A shifting device (1) with two positive-locking shifting element halves (2) is described. A positive connection between the shifting element halves (2) is able to be established or released. The respective prevailing operating states of the shifting element halves (2) can be determined through a sensor device (3). The surface areas (7, 8) of the encoder contour (6) relative to a measuring device (5) are formed in a convex or concave manner, whereas a perpendicular gap between the surface areas (7, 8) of the encoder contour (6) and the permanent magnet (4), starting from a joint area (9) between the surface areas (7, 8) in the direction of an end area (10, 11) of the surface areas (7, 8), increases or decreases in each case.

  • Publication number: 20150114788
    Abstract: A component (2), in particular a shifting element of a transmission device, which rotates around a central axis (14) and is adjustable in an axial direction (y), with an encoder contour (5) revolving on the circumference of the component (2) and provided for interacting with a sensor device (4), is described. The encoder contour (5) features at least one area (7) provided for calculating the position of the component (2) in an axial direction (y), whereas a surface (11) of the first range (7) in an axial direction (y) is designed with a varying radial extension in respect of the central axis (14). The encoder contour (5) features several second areas (8) for calculating the rotational speed of the component (2), whereas a slope of a radial extension of a surface (20) of the second areas (8) in the axial direction (y) of the component (2) is differentiated from a slope of a radial extension of the surface (11) of the first areas (7) in the axial direction (y) of the component (2).
