Abstract: the at least partially automatic longitudinal control of a transportation vehicle wherein sensor data are generated by a surroundings sensor system wherein the sensor data represent an environment. A computing unit is used, based on the sensor data, to determine a speed vector of a road user in the environment and to predict a potential collision of the road user with the transportation vehicle. Based on the speed vector, it is identified that the road user is moving substantially transverse to a direction of movement of the transportation vehicle and a target speed for the transportation vehicle is computed to avoid the predicted collision. The speed of the transportation vehicle is reduced automatically to the target speed.

Abstract: A two-wheeled vehicle pneumatic tire having a tread, a tire carcass, tire sidewalls, and two bead regions with a bead protective strip. The tire carcass is formed from a first carcass inlay and a second carcass inlay. The second carcass inlay is arranged radially inwardly of the first carcass inlay, and extends from a crown region (17) of the two-wheeled vehicle pneumatic tire and terminates at a second carcass inlay end under the bead protective strip. The two-wheeled vehicle pneumatic tire provides improved puncture protection whilst maintaining good rolling resistance. This is achieved in that the first carcass inlay is guided with a first carcass inlay turn-up over the particular tire sidewall as far as under the tread to a first carcass inlay end, and terminates there at the first carcass inlay end.

Abstract: Clocks of two semiconductor circuit are set to a common clock source when both the first and second semiconductor circuits are in a slow clock speed at which an input/output (IO) at an interface between the first and second semiconductor circuit is capable of operating. Division counters of the two clocks are synchronized at the slow clock speed. The two semiconductor circuits are switched to a fast clock speed that is a multiple of the slow speed, wherein the IO is not capable of operating at the fast clock speed. Pulses from a division counter of the first circuit are sent to a spare division counter of the second circuit, and then a primary division counter of the second counter is aligned to this spare division counter to keep the two circuits synchronized at the fast clock speed.
