Abstract: A microcontroller in a microcontroller unit, comprising a memory area including a configuration file and configured to serve as a removable data storage medium, wherein the microcontroller is connected to an interface for reading data in and out from at least one sensor, wherein the microcontroller is further configured to disconnect and restart an operating voltage of the microcontroller unit upon completion of amendments to the configuration file.

Abstract: The invention comprises a monolithic magnet or a combination of monolithic magnets with magnetic field domains for diamagnetic levitation of diamagnetic objects wherein the magnetic field pattern, the magnetic field strength and the magnetic field gradient of the magnetic field domains are chosen in such way that levitation of diamagnetic objects is achieved.

Abstract: A method for controlling an automated clutch or an automated transmission or a drive unit in a vehicle is disclosed in which protective measures for the clutch and/or for the transmission and/or for a drive unit is provided by the control system. The protective measures include measures against overheating or wear. When measuring temperature, allowance is made for the air density in the vehicle environment or altitude as compared to sea level.

Abstract: The invention relates to a friction clutch in a motor vehicle, comprising a clutch bell housing (210), at least one air inlet duct (130) arranged on the clutch bell housing for cooling the clutch bell housing, at least one air outlet duct (140) arranged on the clutch bell housing, and at least one temperature sensor (120). The invention further relates to a method for determining a clutch temperature of a friction clutch.

Abstract: A process for controlling a drive train with an internal combustion engine, a transmission and an automatically actuated brake system. In the event of a defect of the transmission, retardation is effected by means of the automatically actuated brake system in order to avoid impermissibly high speeds in the drive train.

Abstract: A method for controlling an automated clutch or an automated transmission or a drive unit in a vehicle, where protective measures for the clutch and/or for the transmission and/or for a drive unit are provided by the control system.

Abstract: The invention relates to an actuating device for a double clutch with two friction clutches that are actuatable by means of a respective lever system. The actuating device comprises two actuator units for converting a rotary movement carried out by a respective electric motor about an axis of rotation into a linear movement to actuate a friction clutch. To simplify and improve actuating devices of this general type, a respective planetary rolling contact transmission is arranged coaxially with a rotor of the electric motor and driven by the latter. The planetary rolling contact transmission converts the rotary movement into the linear movement using an exclusively mechanical actuating device. The actuator units are arranged to be parallel with respect to their axes of rotation and are received in a common housing.

Abstract: A device for preventing a motor vehicle from being set in motion. The motor vehicle has a drive motor that can be connected to drive wheels in a driving connection by a drive train.
