  • Patent number: 9729638
    Abstract: A communication device for wireless communication in a mobile radio network is included in a controller installed in a motor vehicle. The controller also includes a connection device which connects to at least one bus system of the motor vehicle and a computer device for controlling the exchange of data between the at least one bus system and the mobile radio network and/or an external network. The communication device has, in addition to a connection to a controller-external mobile radio antenna, an additional mobile radio antenna which is integrated into the controller and is to be used in the event of failure of the controller-external mobile radio antenna. The communication device outputs an emergency call signal to the mobile radio network when an emergency trigger signal is received via the bus system and/or some other communication connection.

  • Patent number: 7432577
    Abstract: A semiconductor component for detecting electromagnetic radiation includes a contact between a metal and a semiconductor. The semiconductor has at least one metal-chalcogenide compound semiconductor as an optical absorbing material or is configured completely from said semiconductor. This allows a cost-effective component to be produced which reacts to electromagnetic radiation in a specifically defined manner. The semiconductor component can be used in an electronic component and a sensor system. A method is also described for producing a semiconductor component by bringing a substrate into contact with a solution, in which a precursor of metal-chalcogenide compound semiconductor is dissolved and/or suspended.

  • Patent number: 4703695
    Abstract: An apparatus to compensate for the thermal expansion of a component inserted between two elements, particularly an explosive member placed between a lining, and a cover plate in a shaped charge, comprises two rings that are in contact with one another through conical inner and outer surfaces. The ring with the conical outer surface is made of a material that has a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than the material of the ring with the conical inner surface. So that the apparatus expands upon reduction in temperature and contracts upon increase in temperature to compensate for respective contraction and expansion of the component.

  • Patent number: 4083171
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for eliminating an abnormality in a thread being produced by a spinning element of an open-end spinning device and wound on a bobbin. A knotting device is placed in the path of the thread extending between the spinning element and the bobbin. A sensor senses the abnormality in the thread which may be a break or a thin or thick spot therein. If the abnormality is a break the end is placed in the spinning element for being attached to thread being produced therein. This, in turn, causes an abnormality in the thread. A cutter severs the thread at the point of abnormality and the severed portion is carried away. The knotting device is used for tying the ends of the severed thread together during the knotting operation the thread being fed from the spinning element is stored intermediate the knotting device and the spinning element and at the conclusion of the tying operation the length of thread stored intermediately is run down until completely used up.
