Abstract: Example embodiments described in this disclosure are generally directed to a plastic enclosure that provides EMI shielding and heat sinking to an electronic assembly. In one embodiment, the enclosure includes a housing portion formed of a base material that includes a polymer containing graphene nanostructures and carbon nanostructures. The graphene nanostructures provide a thermal conductivity characteristic to the base material. A set of standoff elements made of the base material is provided inside the housing for mounting the electronic assembly. Heat generated by the electronic assembly is conducted out of the enclosure by the standoff elements due to the graphene nanostructures. The carbon nanostructures provide an electrical conductivity characteristic to the base material. A lid formed of the base material may be attached to the housing portion. The carbon nanostructures in the housing portion and the lid provide EMI shielding to the electronic assembly inside the enclosure.

Abstract: An exhaust gas aftertreatment device for a motor vehicle has an exhaust pipe and a mixing chamber arranged in the exhaust pipe to mix an exhaust gas stream with a reducing agent which can be introduced into the mixing chamber by a dosing device. The mixing chamber has a wall which is on the input side as viewed in a main flow direction of the exhaust gas stream through the exhaust pipe and in which a first inlet for the exhaust gas is formed. The first inlet extends in some regions in a lateral surface region of the input-side wall such that exhaust gas entering the mixing chamber through the first inlet can be set in a rotating motion inside the mixing chamber. The dosing device has an outlet device where a longitudinal axis of the outlet device is inclined towards the main flow direction of the exhaust gas stream.

Abstract: An exhaust gas treatment device includes an exhaust gas guide element which has an exhaust gas conduit. A first flow separation element is disposed in the exhaust gas conduit that divides the exhaust gas conduit into a first partial conduit and a second partial conduit. The first flow separation element has a first conduit area. A second flow separation element is disposed in the second partial conduit. The second flow separation element divides the second partial conduit into a first sub-conduit, a second sub-conduit, and a third sub-conduit. The second flow separation element has a second conduit area which is cylindrical or expands in a flow direction. The first conduit area of the first flow separation element expands along an injection direction of a reductant.
