Abstract: A bumper assembly for a motor vehicle has a first bumper subassembly having a first cross bar and two first U-section crash boxes spaced apart from one another and each fastened by a respective outer end to a respective one of two regions of the cross bar close to ends thereof and each fastened by a respective inner end to the structure of the vehicle, Each crash box is of U-section with a web bridging two side walls, and each crash box further has at least at the respective outer end a transversely projecting integral tab that is folded over from the web and with which the crash box is fastened to the cross bar.

Abstract: A method for analysis and assessment of measurement data of a measurement system having at least one measurement channel provides for the assessment of the measurement data at freely selectable times and over a freely selectable period on the basis of at least one of a plurality of predeterminable criteria. In order in this case to develop a central and generally applicable measurement data diagnosis, in which any desired number of measurement channels can be monitored at the same time with little effort and with good result representation, preferably with determination of the faulty channels, the raw data of the measurement channel is supplied to a fault isolation stage and then to a fault classification stage, and a measure is then determined for the quality of the measurement data of the respective measurement channel.
