  • Publication number: 20220326119
    Abstract: A method for operating an exhaust gas sensor in an exhaust system of an internal combustion engine of a vehicle. The exhaust gas sensor includes a ceramic sensor element having at least one measuring electrode and a heating device. A binary dewpoint end signal is calculated, based on data which relate to the internal combustion engine and the exhaust gas sensor, which indicates whether or not the occurrence of liquid water in the exhaust system is still to be expected. Whenever the vehicle is turned off and the dewpoint end signal simultaneously has the value which signals that the occurrence of liquid water in the exhaust system is still to be expected, the sensor element is heated by its heating device to a temperature for a certain period of time in such a way that the sensor element dries.

  • Patent number: 9405855
    Abstract: A system, computer-implemented method, and a computer-readable medium for determining why a query returns a null set in a database management system. When the database management system receives a query graph, database management system compares the query graph to the data graph. Based on the comparison, database management system identifies a discovered component of the query graph and a missing component of the query graph, wherein the missing query component indicates a reason for the null set.
