  • Publication number: 20100171605
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for ascertaining vehicle data, for example, tire pressure data, are provided. For example, the apparatus includes a sending unit, a receiving unit and a measuring unit. The sending unit and/or the receiving unit are battery-operated. The receiving unit is a threshold value receiver or a carrier ID receiver.

  • Patent number: 7737544
    Abstract: A sensor system having a substrate and a housing and a method for manufacturing a sensor system are provided, the housing essentially completely enclosing the substrate in a first substrate region, the housing in a second substrate region being provided at least partially open via an opening, the second substrate region in the region of the opening being provided so as to project from the housing, the housing being manufactured using an injection molding compound and being molded in such a way that the injection molding compound has only one flow front.

  • Publication number: 20100141417
    Abstract: A tire sensor module for use in a vehicle tire including at least one sensor device for measuring at least one measured variable and for outputting at least one measuring signal, a control device, e.g., an analyzer ASIC for receiving the measuring signal and for outputting at least one transmitted signal to a wireless interface for emitting the transmitted signal to a receiver in or on the vehicle, and an energy accumulator, in particular a battery, for supplying power to at least the control device. A switching device is provided between the energy accumulator and the control device which interrupts or closes the power supply of the control device by the energy accumulator as a function of a control signal, and an electromechanical energy transducer which, under the effect of a deformation, a motion and/or a pressure change, outputs the control signal, in particular a piezoelectric voltage, to the switching device for closing the power supply.
