  • Patent number: 9527462
    Abstract: A motor vehicle electrical system having a starter and a first energy store, which are arranged in a first region of the motor vehicle electrical system, and a generator and a second energy store, which are arranged in a second region of the motor vehicle electrical system, wherein, a switching element is arranged between the first and the second region of the motor vehicle electrical system, wherein the switching element has at least two switching states, wherein, in a first switching state, a current can flow only from the first region toward the second region and, in a second switching state, the first and second region have a through-connection to one another, wherein the second energy store is connected to the generator via a DC/DC converter, wherein, via a second switching element, the starter is connected directly to the second energy store.

  • Patent number: 6532680
    Abstract: To compensate for modules which expand as a function of temperature, the present invention provides for using a flat sensor having special structural components that feature temperature-dependent electrical conductivity over the entire length to be measured. The benefit derived is that the temperature is measured over the entire sensor. The structural components are interconnected into tracks, and linked to electronics integrated on the sensor. On its rear side, the sensor has an adhesive layer, enabling it to be simply adhesively mounted on the component to be measured. The manner in which the structural components are distributed, makes it possible to adjust the sensor to any desired length, simply by trimming it. After the sensor is mounted, a protective layer is adhesively applied thereto, as a protective measure.
