Housing and Method for Casting an Open Receiving Chamber of a Housing
A housing with an open receiving chamber which has a circumferential edge in the form of a creepage barrier at an open upper face is disclosed. The receiving chamber is filled with a casting compound, and the hardened casting compound forms a concave surface relative to the circumferential edge at the open upper face. A sensor is also disclosed that includes such a housing. In addition, a method for casting an open receiving chamber of such a housing is disclosed. The open receiving chamber has an opening at one end leading to an enclosed interior adjoining the open receiving chamber. The enclosed interior is filled with the casting compound, and the open upper face of the receiving chamber has a varying height where the upper face transitions into the enclosed interior. The circumferential edge has an outwardly descending inclination and a continuous curvature formed by tangential transitions in order to overcome the height difference, and the circumferential edge allows the receiving chamber to be temporarily overfilled, thereby forming a stable convex casting compound surface, during the casting process.

WARNING DEVICE FOR A MINING CONTROL MODULE
The present invention relates to a warning device for a mining control module for facilitating a replacement. Accordingly, a warning device for a mining control module is suggested, which comprises a housing that is configured to be coupled with an opening provided at an outer surface of the control module, wherein the housing defines an inner cavity, and an alarm module which is arranged in said cavity and is configured to be releasably coupled to an inner control unit of the control module via said opening for receiving a control signal. The housing comprises a first portion that extends along a longitudinal axis and is configured to extend at least in part through the opening and a radially extending second portion that is configured to extend over the outer surface of the control module so as to cover the opening, when the device is coupled to the control module. The device furthermore comprises a fixation means, which is arranged on the second portion and is configured to releasably engage the outer surface of the control module so as to secure the device to the control module.
HEARING DEVICE COMPRISING A SHIELDING COMPONENT
Disclosed is a hearing device configured to be worn at or in an ear of a user. The hearing device comprises a substrate. The substrate comprises one or more electronic components mounted on the substrate. The hearing device comprises a shielding component. The shielding component being arranged on the substrate to provide a space between the shielding component and the substrate. The shielding component is configured to cover at least a first electronic component of the one or more electronic components on the substrate. The space between the shielding component and the substrate is at least partly filled with a fill encapsulation material configured for encapsulating at least the first electronic component. The shielding component comprises a reservoir configured to collect/accumulate any excess fill encapsulation material from the space between the shielding component and the substrate.
SUPPORT FOR ELECTRIC COMPONENTS
A support for at least one electrical component includes a heat sink having a heat sink surface and two opposing lateral walls protruding from the heat sink surface. The heat sink includes a base body made of aluminum and a copper layer as a heat spreading layer which forms the heat sink surface. The copper layer is produced together with the base body through continuous casting, or with the copper layer being applied additively through cold gas spraying to a surface of the base body. Two spaced-apart sealing blocks lie on the heat sink surface, with each of the two sealing blocks extending between the two lateral walls and contacting the two lateral walls. A support structure is arranged on the heat sink surface between the two sealing blocks.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION DEVICE WITH IMPERMEABLE MATERIAL
The connection device for connecting two electric units, including a case in which are arranged: an electric wire to be linked to the first unit and including a conductive core encircled by an insulating sheath and a conductive tab to be linked to the second unit and secured with the stripped end of the conductive core, all of which being immersed in a sealing material filling the case and bonded to the insulating sheath, the device including an intermediate envelope partially coating the insulating sheath, so that it is in contact with the sealing material only over a reduced portion, where the intermediate envelope is in sliding contact with the sealing material and/or the insulating sheath.
PLUGGABLE INTRINSICALLY SAFE BARRIER
A new and improved intrinsically safe barrier (“ISB”) provides advantages in connection with installation of field equipment in hazardous areas including Division 2/Zone 2 areas. In one embodiment the new ISB provides a pluggable/unpluggable ISB for use with a receiving terminal base adapted for individual field mounting and alternatively for use with a circuit mount terminal base to permit direct mounting of ISB on circuit boards. A highly effective heat sink design and potting material allows for heat dissipation to allow the ISB to serve a wider range of applications.
