  • Patent number: 11901852
    Abstract: A method for detecting a transmission backlash in a hand-held power tool, the hand-held power tool comprising a drive motor that has a drive shaft, a tool spindle, and a transmission that, in respect of drive, connects the drive shaft to the tool spindle, includes actuating, in a first actuation, the drive motor at least until the value of a first variable, representing a drag torque, is at least approximately constant. The method includes, during the first actuation, determining a value of a second variable which is associated with the rotation of the drive shaft of the drive motor during the first actuation, and determining a value of a third variable, representing a transmission backlash, based upon a change in the second variable during the first actuation.

  • Patent number: 10270873
    Abstract: A function command is transmitted between a motor vehicle and a device outside the vehicle, in which the function command is transmitted via an interface apparatus which is outside the vehicle and provides a communication connection between the motor vehicle and the device. The interface apparatus provides an interface which is used to provide a plurality of valid function commands. The function command is compared with the plurality of valid function commands, and the function command is forwarded only if this function command conforms to the interface, and the function command is transmitted between the motor vehicle and the device only via the interface.
