  • Patent number: 10479186
    Abstract: A method for controlling a car with a parallel hybrid system comprising at least a combustion engine and an electrical machine in P0- or P1-configuration, with a clutch for connecting the combustion engine's output shaft with at least one drive shaft. Steps include determining a power demand Pd, and decoupling the combustion engine from the drive shaft if the power demand Pd is below a first threshold P1. Coupling the combustion engine with the drive shaft when the power demand Pd is above the first threshold P1 provides additional fuel savings when the method further comprises shutting off the combustion engine and providing power to the drive shaft by providing electrical power to the electrical machine to drive the car, when the power demand Pd is between the first threshold P1 and a second threshold P2. The second threshold P2 is greater than the first threshold P1, i.e. if P1<Pd<P2.

  • Patent number: 7936280
    Abstract: The invention relates to a signal display device for displaying signals on signal paths of a wiring harness, for example, which may be connected to the signal outputs of an electronic apparatus generating/receiving signals, or looped into the signal paths between a signal-generating electronic apparatus and a signal-receiving electronic apparatus. A signal to be displayed each time is measurable from a plurality, preferably all, of the signal paths, and each measured signal is fed to an evaluation unit that, for each measured signal, activates a multicolor display element based on a value of the signal, such that one of several colors may be displayed using the multicolor display element.

  • Publication number: 20070211044
    Abstract: The invention relates to a signal display device for displaying signals, in particular on signal paths, in particular of a wiring harness, which may be connected to the signal outputs of an electronic apparatus (4) generating/receiving signals, or looped into the signal paths (SW) between a signal-generating electronic apparatus (5) and a signal-receiving electronic apparatus (6), and with which a signal to be displayed each time is measurable from a plurality, preferably all, of the signal paths (SW), and each measured signal is fed to an evaluation unit (7) that, for each measured signal, activates a multicolor display element (9) based on a value of the signal, such that one of several colors may be displayed using the multicolor display element (9).
