Abstract: A vehicle electrical system has at least one vehicle distribution branch and at least one energy storage device. The system additionally has at least one switching device which is able to assume a first switching position and a second switching position. The at least one energy storage device is electrically connected to the at least one vehicle distribution branch in the first switching position. Furthermore, the at least one energy storage device is electrically separated from the at least one vehicle distribution branch in the second switching position. A control device controls the switching device by way of a control signal that can be generated by a pulse length modulator. A pulse width of the control signal can be adapted according to a momentary supply voltage of the switching device or a momentary temperature of the switching device.

Abstract: A control unit for a vehicle component, such as a transmission, is constructed by transferring electronic components from a rigid circuit board to a flexible circuit board. The flexible circuit board is guided through a housing that accommodates the rigid circuit board and a portion of the flexible circuit board. Some electronic components are disposed on the rigid circuit board and some electronic components are disposed on the flexible circuit board.

Abstract: An electrical coupling state is monitored between an inductive load and a circuit configuration. The latter has a first and a second coupling point for coupling to the inductive load. A first voltage value is determined between the first and second coupling points. The first voltage value is tested for the occurrence of a characteristic voltage pulse, which can be triggered by reduction of a magnetic flux in the inductive load by way of a steep-edged change in the amount of current flow through the inductive load. An error is identified in the coupling state if the characteristic voltage pulse does not occur within a predefinable time period. The absence of an error in the coupling state is also identified if the voltage pulse does occur.

Abstract: A PWM signal on which a dither signal is superimposed is used for adjusting a central position when controlling a solenoid valve. To improve this type of control process in which the amplitude of the dither signal depends on the current of the solenoid valve and thus on the PWM signal, the PWM signal and the dither signal are generated in a computer unit independently of the power regulation process. Forming the signals separately has the advantage of generating a constant amplitude for the dither signal each time a triggering signal is generated for the solenoid valve such that the armature of the solenoid valve can oscillate specifically about the central position and thereof at constant small vibrations. This allows frictional forces to be reliably reduced and the solenoid valve to be switched more rapidly while the load on the main computer is reduced.

Abstract: A control unit for a vehicle component such as a transmission ideally has a reduced production cost. The aim is achieved by transferring parts from a rigid circuit board to a flexible circuit board. The flexible circuit board is guided through a housing that accommodates the rigid circuit board and a portion of the flexible circuit board.

Abstract: A remote-controlled access control device includes a stationary transceiver device with a triggering device and a portable transponder. The stationary transceiver device transmits an interrogation code signal in response to the triggering device being activated. The portable transponder receives the interrogation code signal and has a manually activatable activation element. The portable transponder generates a code signal and transmits, together with the code signal, information indicating whether the code signal is generated in response to the interrogation code signal or in response to the activation element being activated. The stationary transceiver device receives the information together with the code signal and generates an unlocking signal based on an evaluation of the code signal with the information indicating whether the code signal is generated in response to the interrogation code signal or in response to the activation element being activated.

Abstract: An access control device for a motor vehicle and a method for setting the sensitivity of an access control device, include a plurality of ferrite antennas disposed in a door handle of the motor vehicle. The individual ferrite antennas are inclined with respect to one another and with respect to the door surface. Consequently, a widely fanned magnetic field is produced within which a request signal can readily be received by a portable encoder. In order to ensure that interference signals have only little effect on the reception of a request signal, the reception sensitivity of the encoder is increased only after a very powerful advance signal has been received.

Abstract: A control system for controlling an object function includes a base station and a portable code transmitter. The base station is at the object and has a transceiver unit for transmitting an interrogation signal. The code transmitter emits a response signal with a code information item in response thereto. The base station checks an authorization of the code information item contained in the response signal. The base station and/or the code transmitter determines a time period between a transmission of a part of the interrogation signal and a reception of a part thereof obtained in reaction thereto, and compares the time period with a predefined reference time period. The base station enables the object-specific function only if the measured time period is shorter than the reference time period even if the code information item of the response signal is correct.

Abstract: An interrogation signal is emitted via one or more passenger compartment antennas of a motor vehicle. The transmit power of the emitted interrogation signal is changed until a portable transponder just still receives the interrogation signal if the transponder is located at a previously defined, fixed position. The transmit power which is set in this way is stored for the operation of the anti-theft system.

Abstract: The system allows locating an enabling component of a motor vehicle. The enabling component, provided with a chip, is for example a smart card or an electronic key. The enabling component is addressed with a search signal from a transmitter fixed to the vehicle. The enabling component responds with an indicating signal. The indicating signal may be an audible signal emitted by the enabling component itself and/or the location information can be indicated by an indicator device fixed to the vehicle.
