  • Patent number: 11926341
    Abstract: A method for determining a driving maneuver of a vehicle with a control unit includes receiving a measurement data relating to a traffic situation from a sensor, determining a current detection area of the sensor by evaluating the measurement data, and creating a sensor model based on the measurement data. An estimated detection area of the sensor from the measurement data is modelled through forward simulation based on a vehicle position of the vehicle. A change in the estimated detection area of the sensor due to a driving maneuver is determined along with the driving maneuver that causes an increase in the estimated detection area due to the sensor model.

  • Patent number: 11926306
    Abstract: An electronically slip-controllable power braking system for a motor vehicle, in which a controllably drivable pressure generator supplies multiple brake circuits connected in parallel to one another with pressure medium under brake pressure. Each of the brake circuits are separable through existing first control valves from the pressure generator and include second control valves that are connected downstream from the first control valves to control the brake pressure in the wheel brakes, which are connected with the brake circuits. An electronic control unit in the brake circuits has three devices, the third device puts the first control valve of a brake circuit into a passage position if a leakage is established downstream from the second control valve in this brake circuit and if it is established that the pressure generated by the pressure generator has at least approximately reached or exceeded a pressure limit of the first control valve.

  • Patent number: 11928104
    Abstract: A method for operating a decentralized application by users of a blockchain. In the method, a first user proposes a state change on a state channel anchored in a blockchain.
