  • Patent number: 11603091
    Abstract: The present invention obtains a controller and a control method capable of appropriately stabilizing a posture of a straddle-type vehicle. In the controller and the control method according to the present invention, when the straddle-type vehicle jumps, automatic posture control for controlling the posture of the straddle type vehicle by increasing or reducing a rotational frequency of a wheel is executed in accordance with posture information at the time when the straddle-type vehicle jumps. Furthermore, in the case where it is determined whether a driver has intention to control the posture of the straddle-type vehicle at the time when the straddle-type vehicle jumps without relying on the automatic posture control and where it is determined that the driver has the intention, the automatic posture control is prohibited.

  • Patent number: 11606224
    Abstract: A method for checking a message in a communication system, in which multiple users are connected to a communication medium that includes two signal lines and exchange messages via same. A time difference between points in time of reception of a message that is sent on the communication medium is ascertained at two different, predefined positions on the communication medium, and based on a comparison of the time difference to at least one reference time difference, it is determined whether the message originates from a verified user. During the ascertainment of the time difference at the two positions, in each case a difference signal is formed from signals that have resulted on the two signal lines due to the message.
