A device for measuring the filling level of a liquid in a container with an ultrasound sensor and electronic components attached to the ultrasound sensor. A damping cup is arranged above the ultrasound sensor. The electronic components attached to the ultrasound sensor are separated from the liquid to be measured by a cover arranged above the electronic components. The cover has a recess in the vicinity of the ultrasound sensor, rests against the ultrasound sensor with the rim of the recess and is sealingly glued to the same.

In an electronic component with a component housing and an integrated circuit with sensor function which is accommodated in a plastic electronic housing, wherein the component housing has a cutaway in the region of the circuit with sensor function so that the integrated circuit can perform its function as a sensor through the cutaways, the component housing lies flush with the edge of the cutaway on the electronic housing and is joined in sealing manner with an adhesive bond to the electronic housing. The component housing has an approximately vertical section on the edge of the cutaways, which section extends along the side of the electronic housing. A horizontal section is also present and projects horizontally over the electronic housing.

The present disclosure relates to a method and system of maintaining a predetermined working quantity of fluid in a reduced volume sump of a motor or vehicle. The method includes recurrently determining a quantity of fluid in the sump and comparing the determined quantity of fluid to the predetermined working fluid quantity. In response to identifying a deviation between the determined quantity of fluid and the predetermined working fluid quantity, the method includes sending a control signal to a fluid pumping system to transfer fluid between the sump and a fluid container.
