Patent number: 11485343Abstract: A sensor arrangement for a braking system of a vehicle is disclosed comprising a connection interface, a control unit, and a sensor. The sensor has an external interface with electrical contacts via which the sensor is connected to the control unit. The control unit is connected to and supplied with power via the connection interface and exchanges data with a higher-level unit via the connection interface. The sensor is provided power via the electrical contact points and provides electrical output signals via the electrical contact points. A first contact point provides a first electrical output signal and is connected to the connection interface via a first switching element such that the first contact point is connected to the connection interface when the first switching element is in the deenergized state and is disconnected from the connection interface when the first switching element is in the energized state.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2020Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Michael Schlitzkus, Helmut Seiband, Reinhold Wolpert, Sandra Heim, Stefan Lehenberger, Valentin Notemann

Patent number: 10998798Abstract: A drive assembly has a housing block, on which there is arranged an electrical machine. The latter has a working shaft mounted in a shaft bore of the housing block and the rotational position of which is detected by a sensor device formed by a signal transmitter and a signal receiver comprising evaluation electronics. The shaft bore is closed by a cover, which is arranged between signal transmitter and signal receiver. The cover is formed in one piece with an electronics housing of the signal receiver. A centering device for the signal receiver is formed on the housing block on the electronics housing. The disclosed drive assembly simplifies the construction, functional testing and mounting of the signal receiver and at the same time improves the protection thereof against damaging environmental influences.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2018Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Michael Schlitzkus, Anna Wondrak, Helmut Seiband, Stefan Lehenberger, Thomas Zander, Valentin Notemann

Patent number: 10905010Abstract: A connecting arrangement includes an electronic component and a printed circuit board, and a method includes establishing a solder connection between the component and circuit board. The component has a housing with a support area, and a contact element with a first contact area running parallel to the support area of the housing, a second contact area at a prespecified angle relative to the first contact area, and a rounded transition region formed between the first and second contact areas. The circuit board has a first surface with a soldering area including a constriction, a first section, and a second section connected to the first section via the constriction. The transition region is in a region of the constriction. The second contact area is connected to the second section via a solder connection. The support area is at an angle relative to the first surface corresponding to the prespecified angle.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2018Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Helmut Seiband, Michael Schlitzkus, Sandra Heim, Stefan Lehenberger, Valentin Notemann

Patent number: 9722424Abstract: A system (0) includes an electrical load system (54) with a load network battery (82), and a fuel cell system (1). Operation is simplified, especially during start of the fuel cell system (1) if the fuel cell system (1) has a system battery (56). A system voltage across the system battery (56) can be supplied to electrical system loads (80) of the fuel cell system (1) and, via a load voltage converter (77) and at least one additional voltage converter (86), to the load system (54) and secondary electrical loads (84, 85).Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2012Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: Eberspächer Climate Control Systems GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Andreas Kaupert, Valentin Notemann, Karsten Reiners, Markus Willkommen

Patent number: 9142959Abstract: A fuel cell system (1) has a fuel cell (2) and a reformer (33). A careful operation of the fuel cell system (1), in particular during a start-up of the fuel cell system (1), is obtained when the fuel cell system (1) is equipped with a reformer heating burner (additional burner) (11). The heat of reformer heating burner waste gas of the reformer heating burner (11) is fed to the reformer (9).Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2012Date of Patent: September 22, 2015Assignee: Eberspächer Climate Control Systems GmbH & Co.
