  • Patent number: 10308097
    Abstract: A temperature sensor for measuring the temperature of a surface of the heat exchanger of a motor vehicle air conditioning system. The sensor includes a sensor housing constructed for assembly in an opening of a heat exchanger housing and having a sensor head constructed for thermal contact with a heat exchanger surface. The sensor head is configured to have thermal contact only with the outer ends of cooling ribs of the heat exchanger or only with a thermally conductive plate which connects cooling ribs.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6680566
    Abstract: There is now provided a television cathode ray tube having a faceplate, an electron gun means, and a glass funnel to configure the cathode ray tube as a wide-angle, shallow-depth, implosion-resistant television cathode ray tube. The glass funnel has a solder edge, a funnel throat, a parabolic area and a funnel body and the external contour between the solder edge and the parabolic area along a first section which is defined by the direction of the diagonal of the television glass funnel is essentially a steeply descending straight line, along a second section which is defined by the direction of the major axis of the television glass funnel, is essentially a flat descending straight line, which descends steeply in a curve in the area of the solder edge, and along a third section which is defined by the direction of the small axis of the television glass funnel, is essentially a steeply descending straight line.
