  • METHOD AND CONTROL DEVICE FOR LEVEL CONTROL OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
    Publication number: 20240246383
    Abstract: A method for level control of a motor vehicle, in which a target value for a floor level of the motor vehicle is calculated from a driving speed and a longitudinal acceleration and/or a lateral acceleration of the motor vehicle. With the aid of an active chassis, a target value for a lower floor level is provided at a higher longitudinal acceleration and/or lateral acceleration and a target value for a higher floor level is provided at a lower longitudinal acceleration and/or lateral acceleration. Dynamically adjusting the floor level to different acceleration situations of the motor vehicle enables a motor vehicle with a high level of driving safety and good driving comfort.

  • METHOD FOR OPERATING AN ACTIVE ROLL SUPPORT SYSTEM OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
    Publication number: 20240246539
    Abstract: A method for operating an active roll support system of a motor vehicle, in which a roll moment distribution is regulated below a sideslip angle threshold on the basis of an actual grip reserve of a rear axle relative to a front axle of the motor vehicle. A wheel load is acquired for each of the wheels of the front axle and for each of the wheels of the rear axle and the acquired wheel loads are used as feedback variables in a control loop for regulating the roll moment distribution to calculate the actual grip reserve of the rear axle and compare it with a target grip reserve of the rear axle and from this determine a control deviation for adapting the roll moment distribution.

  • Method for ascertaining vehicle characteristic variables
    Patent number: 12043078
    Abstract: A method for determining vehicle characteristic variables of a motor vehicle. The motor vehicle has active dampers which can set adjusting forces at the respective wheel suspensions in order to be able to raise and/or lower the body of the motor vehicle and which can also measure the acting forces. Specific predefined adjusting forces of the active dampers are imparted in order to ascertain vehicle characteristic variables from the resulting adjustment and the resulting measured forces.

  • Scanning unit for an angle-measuring device
    Patent number: 12044553
    Abstract: A scanning unit for determining a relative angular position of an angular scale that is rotatable about an axis relative to the scanning unit includes a circuit board and evaluation electronics. A detector assembly is disposed in a manner that enables scanning of the angular scale. A contact carrier encloses electrical contacts for creating a plug-and-socket connection. The contact carrier has an outer wall and is mounted on the circuit board such that the electrical contacts extend in a direction having an axial component. A housing body is provided with an opening having an inner wall. A first elastic element is disposed under radial preload such that the contact carrier is centered with respect to the inner wall of the opening. The circuit board is torsionally rigidly attached to the housing body such that the circuit board is radially spaced therefrom by a first gap.

  • METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A GEAR PUMP
    Publication number: 20240239188
    Abstract: A method for controlling a gear pump by a control device to compensate a tooth engagement-induced volume flow pulsation to reduce noise emissions. The method includes acquiring a gear angle and an actual speed of the gear pump; keeping a relationship between a respective modulation angle and an amplitude of a pilot control torque of the gear pump to compensate the volume flow pulsation to an actual speed; modulating the pilot control torque on the basis of the acquired gear angle, a predetermined correction angle, the modulation angle, a number of teeth of the gear pump and the amplitude; and driving the gear pump with a drive torque overlaid with the modulated pilot control torque. The modulation angle is calculated using a PT element with the actual speed as the input variable.

  • Live point cloud compression with egomotion propagation
    Patent number: 12038494
    Abstract: Approaches, techniques, and mechanisms are disclosed for range data compression. According to one embodiment, a current range data frame for a current time point is generated. Each current range data cell in the current range data frame includes current ranges representing points in a point cloud in a 3D space for the current time point. Accumulated prior ranges in an accumulated prior range buffer are propagated from a prior time point to the current time point. Current ranges in the current range data frame are compared with the propagated accumulated prior ranges to determine range differences between the current ranges and the propagated accumulated prior ranges. A proper subset of current ranges in the set of current ranges is identified based on the range difference. The proper subset of current ranges is included in a range data signal excluding other current ranges not in the proper subset.
