  • Patent number: 10354553
    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to providing exploration maps for visualizing enterprise product knowledge. In example embodiments, a system obtains a software exploration map including feature areas, where each feature area is associated with activities and a grouping of features in a software product. At this stage, the system may detect completion of an activity by a user of the software product. The system may then modify a knowledge level of the user in the feature area based on the completion of the activity.

  • Patent number: 7429233
    Abstract: Gear shifts are carried out from a source gear to a target gear of a twin clutch transmission. The twin clutch transmission has sequentially directly successive gears assigned to different transmission input shafts. In each case one upshift and downshift threshold, which is defined as a function of the throttle pedal position, for each possible sequential gear change is stored as a corresponding vehicle speed value in a control unit.

  • Patent number: 7285074
    Abstract: A method and a device for controlling a motor vehicle drive train determine the direction of rotation of the drive train by evaluating sensor signals of a first sensor unit on the output side of the drive train. The first sensor unit includes a sensor wheel fastened to a rotatable component on the output side of the drive train and two rotational speed sensors which are fixed with respect to a housing and are placed circumferentially next to one another. In order to speed up the determination of the direction of rotation, the sensor signal of a second sensor unit on the input side of the drive train is evaluated. The second sensor unit includes a sensor wheel that is fastened to a rotatable component on the input side of the drive train and a rotational speed sensor that is fixed with respect to the housing.
