A method for producing an electronic sensor module includes applying first soldering material onto electrical soldering pads of a printed circuit board element and/or electrical soldering pads of a printed circuit board element contact side of a sensor carrier, arranging the sensor carrier with the electrical soldering pads of the printed circuit board element contact side on the electrical soldering pads of the printed circuit board element to produce electrical connections between connecting lines and the printed circuit board element, applying second soldering material onto electrical connecting elements of a sensor element and/or soldering pads of the sensor receptacle, arranging the sensor element in the sensor receptacle such that the second soldering material produces electrical connections between the electrical connecting elements of the sensor element and the soldering pads of the sensor receptacle, and reflow-soldering the first soldering material and the second soldering material in a joint reflow-soldering process.

Method for producing an electronic control module

A sensor for a transmission-shift control of a motor vehicle is described. The sensor is connectable to a supply voltage (Vs) and to ground (GND). The sensor generates a signal voltage (Vout). The signal voltage (Vout) may assume two signals (high, low), both signals (high, low) being different from the supply voltage (Vs) and from ground (GND).

Sensor for a transmission-shift control, in particular of a motor vehicle

A method for increasing the information density on a signal-transmission line. The signal-transmission line extends from a sensor to a control unit. A modulated signal, which includes a digital signal, is transmitted on the signal-transmission line. The digital signal assumes either a high level or a low level. The modulated signal includes an encoded pulse signal, which is superimposed on the digital signal and has both an encoded pulse duration and a variable pulse frequency.

Method for increasing the information density in signal-transmission lines

A method for operating a motor vehicle such as a passenger car, which is equipped with a motor and an electronically controlled, continuously variable transmission includes the steps of: detecting a driving state defined by downhill travel; detecting the speed of the vehicle at the start of the downhill travel and storing the vehicle speed; continuously changing the transmission in such a manner that the vehicle speed is substantially maintained while utilizing the braking action of the motor thereby defining a downhill travel motor braking mode of operation; and/or, detecting possible slip at the wheels of the motor vehicle and adjusting a corresponding other, lower gear ratio continuously on the transmission so that the slip is reduced or is entirely eliminated thereby defining a slip-adjustment mode of operation; and/or, detecting if a braking operation is present and, during braking operation, continuously adjusting the transmission by changing the gear ratio to support the brakes of the motor vehicle to define a brake-supporting mode of operation; and/or, continuously changing the gear ratio of the transmission by means of a manually operated actuating device with the change being carried out within the limits of the highest and lowest gear ratio as long as the manual actuation takes place thereby defining a manual mode of operation.
