Abstract: A circuit (100) for use in transmission control units and braking control units for motor vehicles comprises of plurality of N sensing channels such as BJT-based temperature sensing channels. Each channel includes a first main sensing node (S_CH_1 to S_CH_N) and a second redundancy sensing node (S_CH_1R to S_CH_NR) paired therewith. A plurality of N analog-to-digital converters (ADC_1 to ADC_N) are coupled to the first sensing nodes (S_CF_1 to S_CH_N), with digital processing circuitry (101, 102) coupled to the converters (ADC 1 to ADC N) and configured to perform, e.g. interpolator processing of the N first digital signals. A pair of multiplexers (MUX1, MUX2) are coupled to the second sensing nodes (S_CF_1R to S_CF_NR) and to the N analog-to-digital converters (ADC_1 to ADC_N), with a further analog-to-digital converter (ADC_R) coupled to the output of the second multiplexer (MUX2). Error checking circuitry (103) is coupled to the outputs of the second multiplexer (MUX2) and the further analog-to-digital converter (ADC_R) to compare, at each time window in the sequence of N time windows, a first digital value (TEMP _CODE) and a second digital value (TEMP_CODE_RED) resulting from conversion to digital of: an analog sensing signal at one of the first sensing nodes (S_CF_1 to S_CH_N), and an analog sensing signal at the second sensing paired with the selected one of the first sensing nodes (S_CF_1 to S_CH_N).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a crystalline oxidic compound comprising an alkaline metal and a valve metal, to a crystalline oxidic compound as obtained by the method, and to its use as a ferroelectric material; as a coating material for electrode materials in batteries, specifically in solid-state batteries; or in digital printing, especially on a polymeric substrate.Herein, the method for manufacturing a crystalline oxidic compound comprising an alkaline metal and a valve metal comprises the following steps:a) mixing an alcoholate of an alkaline metal and an alcoholate of a valve metal in a composition of an oxygenated organic solvent and hydrogen peroxide at room temperature;b) adding an acid selected from at least one of nitric acid or hydrochloric acid at room temperature, whereby a solution is obtained;c) drying the solution at an elevated temperature of 50 °C to 150 °C, whereby a powder comprising the at least one crystalline oxidic compound comprising the alkaline metal and the valve metal is obtained.This manufacturing method operates at a low ambient working temperature, especially below 200 °C, and, thus, allows a direct manufacturing of crystalline oxidic compounds without interaction with a substrate and/or on a substrate which is not capable of tolerating higher temperatures during the manufacturing of crystalline oxidic compounds without deformation and/or deterioration. A further advantage of the low ambient working temperature is that a diffusion of elements from the at least one crystalline oxidic compound as coating material into the substrate can be avoided.

Abstract: Implantable devices require protection to protect a human or animal body from implant contamination and to protect implant electrical connections and electronics from corrosion. Although PDMS can be substantially biocompatible, it still has a relatively high permeability to moisture which can lead to degradation of the implant electronics. An implantable electric device is provided comprising: a flexible substrate having one or more electrical conductors and a first surface comprising a Liquid-Crystal Polymer (LCP); a first biocompatible encapsulation layer; a first adhesion layer disposed between the first surface and the first encapsulation layer; wherein: the first adhesion layer comprises a ceramic material; the first encapsulation layer comprises a silicone rubber such as a PDMS, and the first adhesion layer and the first encapsulation layer are configured and arranged to conform to the first surface and to resist the ingress of fluids into at least a portion of the first surface. By providing a bilayer having an encapsulant comprising a silicone rubber and a conformal adhesion layer comprising ceramic materials, the adhesion layer appears to show significantly higher stability in ionic media, thereby providing relatively longer protection in case of any delamination or water permeation through the encapsulant.
