Abstract: A freeze protection method for a fuel cell system is disclosed. The fuel cell system includes an evaporative cooler device equipped for cooling a heat exchanger of a fuel cell device of the fuel cell system having a feed line, through which during the operation of the fuel cell system, water is pumped to a sprinkling device of the evaporative cooler device and by way of the sprinkling device, the water is applied onto the heat exchanger equipped for temperature-controlling a fuel cell stack of the fuel cell device. The method includes blowing out the evaporative cooler device as part of a deactivation method of the fuel cell system.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for operating a motor vehicle, which comprises a high-voltage on-board electrical system and a low-voltage on-board electrical system, which are connected by means of a DC-to-DC converter. The high-voltage on-board electrical system is connected to a battery via a switching circuit, and an electromotive main drive is fed by means of the high-voltage on-board electrical system. An electrical contacting of the battery with the high-voltage on-board electrical system is terminated by means of the switching circuit, and the main drive is operated as a generator, such that electrical energy is fed into the high-voltage on-board electrical system, by means of which electrical energy the low-voltage on-board electrical system is fed via the DC-to-DC converter.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for a vehicle (10) having an electric machine (11). The electric machine (11) is coupled to at least one wheel (16) of the vehicle (10). The vehicle (10) can optionally be operated in at least a first operating mode (21) and a second operating mode (22). In the first operating mode (21), the electric machine (11) applies a torque to the wheel (16), and in the second operating mode (22) the electric machine (11) does not apply any torque to the wheel (16). In the method, a request for switching over between the first and the second operating modes (21, 22) is detected and the vehicle (10) is operated in a transition operating mode (23) if the request to switch over from the first operating mode (21) into the second operating mode (22) is detected. In the transmission operating mode (23), a torque is applied to the at least one wheel (16) counter to a rolling direction of the vehicle (10) for at least a predetermined time.

Abstract: A method for forward parking a motor vehicle in a perpendicular parking space, wherein the motor vehicle has environment sensors for detecting environment data and obstacles in the environment of the motor vehicle, including pre-aligning the motor vehicle in front of the perpendicular parking space such that a target steering angle lies between a maximum steering angle ?max and a minimum steering angle ?min, iterative searching of the admissible steering angle range between the maximum steering angle ?max and the minimum steering angle ?min for a current steering angle ?akt, during a forward maneuver of the vehicle into the perpendicular parking space, wherein the current steering angle ?akt,i ensures a maximum free path length si, i=01 . . . , n into the perpendicular parking space without the vehicle hitting obstacles, and terminating the forward maneuver if the end of the parking operation has been reached or a reversing maneuver has to be carried out owing to an obstacle.

Abstract: A system and method for increasing patient adherence to following medication treatment regimens. An adherence data processing and communication system generates and displays medication adherence data based on historical medication information. The system is linked to other systems involved with electronic ordering and filling of prescriptions, such as electronic prescription and pharmacy systems all connected by suitable wired and/or wireless communication protocols including the Internet. In one embodiment, the adherence data is displayed in the form of an interactive report card which provides a user with adherence metrics in both summary and more detailed formats for prescription medications taken by the patient. A related method executed by the data processing and communication system is disclosed.
