Abstract: A method for facilitating root cause analysis of a software crash by core dump analysis is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a core dump file relating to a software program, identifying unique source code lines in the core dump file for each running thread at the crash time, and determining unique source code lines as conspicuous source code lines depending on an abstraction level value indicating a number of occurrences of the conspicuous source code line in different threads. Furthermore, the method comprises determining an abstraction ratio as a function of a number of conspicuous source code lines and a number of unique source code lines, evaluating whether the predefined abstraction level value has to be adjusted by determining unique source code line as a conspicuous source code line and determining an abstraction ratio, and outputting the conspicuous source code lines and an assessment value for the abstraction ratio.

Abstract: A method is provided to check for presence of gas bubbles in an electronically slip-controllable motor vehicle brake system that includes brake circuits to which wheel brakes are connected, a pressure generator to charge the brake circuits with a brake pressure, and sensors to detect an actuating signal of the pressure generator and measure the brake pressures in the brake circuits. Disturbances are recognized by ascertaining from the signal a setpoint value for a brake pressure to be obtained and comparing it to an actual value of the brake pressure or by determining that an actual volume of the pressurizing medium displaced into the brake circuits, ascertainable from the signal, is greater than a limiting value that is determined for a setpoint value for the pressurizing-medium volume to be displaced into the brake circuits in order to generate the actual value of the brake pressure.

Abstract: A solenoid valve includes a magnet assembly and a valve cartridge having an armature guided movably inside a capsule, a valve insert, a slide which is guided movably inside the valve insert and has a closing element and a sealing element, and a valve body with a valve seat. A main valve includes the sealing element and the valve seat. The slide is formed in two parts with the sealing element as the first part and the closing element as the second part. When the valve is not energized, the valve is open, and when the valve is energized, the sealing element seals in the valve seat. The sealing element and the closing element are made of different materials, and the material of the sealing element allows a partial elasticity of the slide while the material of the closing element allows a partial stiffness of the slide.

Abstract: A solenoid valve, in particular for controlling a brake pressure of a wheel brake of a motor vehicle, includes a pole core, an axially moveably mounted armature, a valve element, a closure element, a plunger, and a pressure spring. One end of the armature is associated with the pole core. The valve sealing element is arranged at another end of the armature. The armature has an axial through-opening. The closure element is force-lockingly and/or interlockingly retained in the axial through-opening in a selectable position. The plunger is axially moveably mounted in the axial through-opening, which provides a connection to the pole core in an installation position. The pressure spring is positioned in the axial through-opening and is retained in a pretensioned manner between the plunger and the closure element. The closure element is designed as a three-dimensionally convex element.
