Abstract: A method for controlling the operation of a hydraulic braking system of a vehicle and in particular a vehicle drivable using muscle power and/or—in particular additionally—using motor power, an electric bicycle, e-bike, pedelec, or the like. In the method, it is checked whether a discharge condition for discharging an accumulator of the braking system is met. If the discharge condition is met, initially a controllable inlet valve in a primary circuit of the braking system is set into a partially closed state over a predefined duty cycle, in particular of 10%, and/or for a predefined time span and then an outlet valve of the accumulator is opened for a predefined time span—continuously or in intervals—so that brake fluid is discharged from the accumulator via the outlet valve, the primary circuit, and the inlet valve into a reservoir of a master cylinder of the primary circuit.

Abstract: A method for operating a vehicle electrical system that is provided for supplying at least one restraint system. In the method, in addition to monitoring the vehicle electrical system voltage, at least one further indicator is monitored as an indicator. A critical supply state of the restraint system is detected by evaluating these indicators and the efficiency of the used DC voltage switching converters is reduced by at least one measure, so that a supply current for at least one restraint system is reduced by the at least one restraint system. A release condition is requested prior to implementing the at least one measure.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of training a machine learnable model for controlling and/or monitoring a computer-controlled system. The machine learnable model is configured to make inferences based on a probability distribution of sensor data of the computer-controlled system. The machine learnable model is configured to account for symmetries in the probability distribution imposed by the system and/or its environment. The training involves sampling multiple samples of the sensor data according to the probability distribution. Initial values are sampled from a source probability distribution invariant to the one or more symmetries. The samples are iteratively evolved according to a kernel function equivariant to the one or more symmetries. The evolution uses an attraction term and a repulsion term that are defined for a selected sample in terms of gradient directions of the probability distribution and of the kernel function for the multiple samples.
