Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting a driver's hands on a steering wheel of a vehicle. In one step, a steering system is excited to vibrate. The oscillations of the steering system are determined in a steering wheel remote area. The oscillations of a steering wheel near area of the steering system of the vehicle are determined. In a further step, the determined oscillations of the steering wheel near area are compared with stored characteristic oscillations of the steering wheel near area, which occur during the same excitation in a state in which the steering wheel is not touched.

Abstract: A gear mechanism is disclosed with a ring gear, with a flexible gear wheel arranged in the ring gear and with a wave generator which is in contact with the flexible gear wheel and which deforms the flexible gear wheel so that it is in sections in engagement in the ring gear. The gear mechanism can be configured in such a way that interference in the engagement in the gear teeth and the gear backlash are reduced, the noise behavior and the power transmission are improved and the service life is increased. The flexible gear wheel can include at least two flexible gear wheel disks arranged adjacent to one another in the axial direction, and each gear wheel disk can include at least two toothed segments in the circumferential direction which are connected to one another by way of spring segments.

Abstract: Method for detecting the presence of a drivers hands on the steering wheel is described. By means of a mathematical model, at least one part of a steering system of the motor vehicle is modeled. In addition, a rotational angle of a lower end and/or an upper end of a torsion bar of the steering system is determined. A torque acting on the torsion bar is determined by means of a measuring device. A sum of a torque with which the driver acts on the steering wheel and a counter-torque generated by friction in the upper part of the steering system is estimated by means of a Kalman Filter. In addition, the counter-torque is estimated, and the estimated sum of the torque and the counter-torque are used to determine whether the drivers hands are on the steering wheel.
