Patent number: 11235764Abstract: A driver assistance system is provided in a motor vehicle, which driver assistance system executes at least active transverse guidance interventions. The driver assistance system can be activated while decoupled from the activation of a longitudinal control system but can also be active both, with and without longitudinal control, and includes both a traffic jam assistance sub-function and a track guiding assistant sub-function. The two sub-functions can be jointly activated and deactivated by a single on-/off-button. The driver assistance system is characterized by a special combination of the sub-functions track guiding assistance and traffic jam assistance. They each take turns depending on the presence of conditions, which are defined differently for each sub-function.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2017Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Andreas Bogner, Andreas Mueller, Daniel Simmermacher, Hans-Peter Hank, Manfred Paul, Martin Froehlich, Mehdi Farid, Nico Kaempchen, Norman Hauke, Thomas Barmeyer

Patent number: 7702180Abstract: Disclosed are an imaging method and an arrangement for the computer-assisted evaluation of projected object trajectories obtained from a computer-tomographic measurement. According to the inventive method, the trajectories are arranged in a previously known sequence into a projection matrix as traces of the respective voluminous elements, and the following steps are iterated until a sufficient reconstruction quality has been attained; (a) at least one of the traces is selected; (b) a reconstructed element that is true to the original position is formed from each of the selected traces so as to be added to a reconstructed image; (c) the selected traces are removed from the projection matrix.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2004Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Assignee: Bam Bundesanstalt fur Materialforschung und -PrufungInventors: Axel Lange, Manfred Paul Hentschel

Patent number: 6086248Abstract: A process for the model-supported simulation of the coolant temperature in the case of a vehicle is provided. Conventionally, two temperature sensors are used for determining the coolant temperature, in which case one exists only for determining the temperature when an engine is switched off. Such an additional sensor is cost-intensive and should be avoided. The process avoids using an additional sensor by detecting the coolant temperature at the point in time of the switching-off of the driving engine. A current coolant temperature is continuously calculated while including vehicle-specific data using a temperature model. As an alternative, the current coolant temperature is not continuously calculated, but rather is calculated from a point in time as of which a theoretically determined coolant temperature falls below a specific value.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 1997Date of Patent: July 11, 2000Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Manfred Paul, Michael Wuertenberger

Patent number: 4906994Abstract: A multi-stage integrated decoder device has a special function which facilitates the simultaneous activation of a plurality and as many as all of its outputs. When it is used as a bit line decoder it is thus possible to activate a plurality and as many as all of the bit lines (including any redundant bit lines) of a block of storage cells of a semiconductor memory.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 1988Date of Patent: March 6, 1990Assignee: Siemens AktiengelsellschaftInventors: Kurt Hoffmann, Rainer Kraus, Oskar Kowarik, Manfred Paul

Patent number: 4896322Abstract: In a circuit configuration and a method for testing storage cells, all of the bit lines lead to one pair of fault lines which is first precharged with mutually-complementary logic levels. All of the storage cells of a word line are always read-out in parallel relative to one another. In the event of "no fault" the pair of fault lines retains its logic states, whereas in the case of a fault one of the fault lines changes its logic state through switching transistors. This is recognized and analyzed by a comparator circuit in the form of an XOR-circuit or an XNOR-circuit.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 1988Date of Patent: January 23, 1990Assignee: Siemens AtkiengesellschaftInventors: Rainer Kraus, Oskar Kowarik, Kurt Hoffmann, Manfred Paul
