  • Patent number: 12209525
    Abstract: A method for measuring the injected mass of a fluid containing urea using a system for injecting the fluid into an exhaust system of a vehicle, in which injecting the fluid includes sequences of series of injections of fluid contained in an accumulator between sequences for starting the pump upon detection of a pressure below a threshold PON and sequences for stopping the pump upon detection of a pressure above a threshold POFF, the method particularly includes computing the injected mass using the complete circuit hydraulic stiffness, based on the hydraulic stiffness KD of the accumulator and the hydraulic stiffness KI of the remainder of the circuit, and includes comparing the computed injected mass with a setpoint injected mass.

  • Publication number: 20240268000
    Abstract: A heating volume absorber for a container of liquid of a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, includes: a deformable element having a deformable internal part forming an internal chamber, the deformable internal part being constructed and arranged so as to be positioned in the container of liquid, an external body forming an external chamber communicating with the internal chamber, the external body having at least one deformable wall and being constructed and arranged so as to obstruct an orifice of the container of liquid; a heat transfer fluid disposed in the deformable element; and an electric heating device for heating the heat transfer fluid.

  • Patent number: 10940809
    Abstract: A process for producing an interior trim part (1) with a decorative layer situated on a first side (S1) thereof and forming a decorative pattern (M) for the interior of a motor vehicle, the process comprising the following steps: (a) formation of at least one cutout configuration (R), defined by a predetermined decorative pattern (M), in a protective layer (120) situated on a first side (S1), which is situated on a first surface (110a) of the shell-shaped base body (110) made of a metallic material, (b) deposition of sinterable decorative material on the first side (S1) in such a way that the decorative material, as an intermediate layer (150), covers at least the area in which the cutout configuration (R) defined by the decorative pattern (M) is formed in the protective layer (120), (c) laser-sintering of the intermediate layer (150) inside the at least one cutout configuration defined by the decorative pattern (M), (d) removal of the sinterable decorative material that is situated outside the at least one

  • Patent number: 10035474
    Abstract: A shaped part for a trim part for vehicle interiors with a support made of a mat that contains fibers. The support includes a recess on a visible side that extends in longitudinal direction, and a protrusion on a back side that extends in longitudinal direction and corresponds with the recess on the visible side. The shaped part includes a plastic layer positioned in the area of the recess that is formed from a material other than the mat and that is firmly bonded to the recess. A device for the production of the shaped part as well as a procedure for the production of the shaped part are provided.
