  • Patent number: 11975698
    Abstract: A method for controlling a brake system. The brake system includes an actuating device, a master brake cylinder, a brake circuit, a wheel brake, and a brake pressure generator. The brake pressure generator and the master brake cylinder are capable of being contacted, parallel to one another, to the brake circuit. A pressure generator control valve controls a first pressure medium connection between the brake pressure generator and the brake circuit. A brake circuit control valve controls a second pressure medium connection between the brake circuit and the master brake cylinder. The brake system is operated in an operating state during which the pressure generator control valve assumes an open position without a brake pressure prevailing in the brake circuit and without a buildup of brake pressure being carried out. During this operating state, the brake circuit control valve is controlled to assume an open position.

  • Patent number: 11977507
    Abstract: A user station for a serial bus system. The user station includes a communication control device for controlling a communication of the user station with at least one other user station, and a transceiver device to serially transmit a transmission signal, generated by the communication control device, onto a bus, and serially receive signals from the bus. The communication control device generates the transmission signal according to a frame and inserts into the frame two check sums that include different bits of the frame in the computation. The communication control device inserts dynamic stuff bits into the frame in such a way that an inverse stuff bit is inserted into the bit stream of the frame after 5 identical bits in succession. The communication control device computes the two check sums so that a maximum of one of the two check sums includes the dynamic stuff bits in the computation.

  • Patent number: 11978262
    Abstract: A method for training a classifier for image data using learning image data and associated labels, each of the labels including an allocation to one or multiple classes of a predefined classification. In the method, for each data set of learning image data, space-resolved relevance maps are provided, which indicate how relevant which spatial areas of the particular learning image data are for the assessment of the situation shown in the learning image data. From data sets of learning image data and associated relevance maps, learning samples are ascertained; the learning samples are fed to the classifier; and classifier parameters are optimized with the aim that the classifier maps the learning samples to allocations to one or multiple classes which are consistent with the labels of the learning image data from which the learning samples originate.

  • Patent number: 11975700
    Abstract: For ascertaining a future wheel brake pressure, pressure generator pressures of an external power brake pressure generator are continuously measured at measurement time intervals, the wheel brake pressure changes are ascertained therefrom, and the sum of the wheel brake pressure changes ascertained during a time period prior to the measurement is added to the last measured pressure generator pressure. The wheel brake pressure thus ascertained is considered to be the wheel brake pressure that will prevail after the time period following the measurement of the pressure generator pressure in a wheel brake.
