Patent number: 11938874Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to providing a centralized controller for actuators within electronic control systems of a vehicle. An electronic control system within a vehicle computer system, having a first actuator for performing a first vehicle function, a second actuator for a performing second vehicle function and a controller coupled to the first actuator and the second actuator for controlling the first and second actuators is provided such that the controller is not embedded in either the first or second actuator. Embodiments of a centralized controller and a non-transitory machine-readable medium on which a program is stored for providing instructions to a controller that may utilize the 1-Wire® and/or PoE protocols are also provided. Advantages include, but are not limited to centralized manufacturing, simplified diagnostics, and streamlined software upgrades, all of which result in reduce costs.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2019Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Volvo Car CorporationInventors: Johan Svensson, Richard Biveby, Usman Tariq, Carl-Johan Hall

Patent number: 6393286Abstract: A method for conveying measurement information from a mobile terminal in a first communication system to a second communication system is disclosed, whereby the measurement information related to the first communication system is conveyed to the second communication system on a control channel which can function in a non-stealing mode. For example, Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) measurement information can be conveyed from a mobile terminal to a Base Station Controller (BSC) in a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) network, in a GSM message on a Slow Associated Control Channel (SACCH). In this way, the UMTS measurement information can be conveyed effectively between the two mobile communication systems without sacrificing the quality of speech information being conveyed. Moreover, handovers between the two mobile communication systems can be effectively performed.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 1999Date of Patent: May 21, 2002Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventor: Ola Richard Svensson
