Abstract: A method for securing a motor vehicle with at least one wheel brake during an automated driving maneuver includes, in order to carry out the automated driving maneuver, setting a hydraulic pressure at the wheel brake in order to generate a defined braking force large enough to securely arrest the motor vehicle during the execution of the automated driving maneuver. The method further includes keeping the hydraulic pressure which is set at the wheel brake essentially constant during the execution of the automated driving maneuver. The method may be implemented in a device.

Abstract: A device and method for determining at least one part of a knowledge graph. A body of text is made available; for one sentence from the body of text, a first, second, and third input respectively for a first, second, and third classifier is determined. Each of the first, second, and third inputs includes a numerical representation of at least one part of the sentence. A numerical representation of a first probability is determined by the first classifier as a function of the first input, which indicates whether or not the sentence relates to the knowledge graph. If the numerical representation of the first probability satisfies a first condition, a numerical representation of a second probability is determined by the second classifier as a function of the second input, which defines a first type for the word from the sentence.

Abstract: A method for driving a motor vehicle in an at least semiautomated manner. The method includes: receiving surrounding-area signals, which represent a first region of a surrounding area of the motor vehicle monitored with the aid of a surround-sensor system of the motor vehicle; receiving information signals, which represent information that is ascertained outside of the motor vehicle and is in regard to a second region of the surrounding area of the motor vehicle; generating and outputting control signals for controlling the lateral and/or longitudinal guidance of the motor vehicle on the basis of the surrounding-area signals and the information signals, in order to drive the motor vehicle in an at least semiautomated manner on the basis of the first region and the second region of the surrounding area of the motor vehicle. A device, a computer program, and a machine-readable storage medium, are also described.
Abstract: A method/system of detecting if a relay is present in a vehicle PEPS system, including transmitting from antenna(s) of a vehicle, a first/second LF signals and determining a minimum time-gap between the signal transmissions so that the time-gap exceeds the channel-coherence-time of a high-frequency wireless-relay. A maximum time between the signals is determined by a timing requirement of the PEPS system and the maximum allowable change in a key-fob position. A time gap between the minimum/maximum times is determined. Depending on the time-gap, the system timing requirement is increased to provide a predetermined-time. At the predetermined-time, separately transmitting between the first/second LF signals, which have a known signal ratio, from a vehicle antenna to a key-fob as part of an LF challenge; measuring, at the key-fob, the signal-levels of the first/second LF signals; and determining if the ratio of the first/second LF signals are within a predefined range.
Abstract: A method for satellite-based detection of vehicle location uses a motion and location sensor. GNSS data is received as an input variable, at least one further input variable is also received. Weighting factors for the input variable and the at least one further input variable are determined. The input variable and the at least one further input variable are weighted by the weighing factors. The vehicle location is detected via the weighted input variable and the weighted at least one further input variable.
Abstract: A set-up tool for aiding vehicle sensor calibrations having a structure with a first and second vehicle contact points configured to contact a vehicle and establish a calibration axis. A substantially vertically projected flat blade laser may be placed in a position perpendicular to the calibration axis and used to align the set-up tool with a center of the vehicle. Once centered, the laser ma be transitioned to project a laser line, in coordination with a protractor having a base-line parallel to the calibration axis (which is now substantially parallel to a transverse axis of the vehicle), at a discreet angle away from the center of the vehicle. A target may then be placed along the laser line to aid in the calibration of vehicle sensors.

Abstract: In a method for operating a motor vehicle during an autonomous parking process it is proposed that during the autonomous parking process a first braking torque is applied automatically to at least a first wheel, and a second braking torque is applied automatically to at least a second wheel, that a slip of one of the wheels is inferred from a comparison of the rotational speed of the first wheel to which the first braking torque is applied with the rotational speed of the second wheel to which the second braking torque is applied, and that if a variable characterizing the slip reaches or exceeds a limiting value, an action is automatically triggered.
Abstract: A hand-held power tool includes a tool receptacle with which a tubular tool holder configured to receive an application tool is associated, and a locking device configured to lock the application tool in the tubular tool holder. The locking device locks the application tool in a locking position via at least one locking element in the tubular tool holder. The locking device has a locking sleeve and a pressure ring spring loaded via an associated spring element. The spring-loaded pressure ring is configured to force the locking sleeve into the locking position and, in the locking position, forces the at least one locking element against the tool holder.

The adapter plug has at least one receptacle for an actuator-side electrical contact element and a receptacle for an electronics-side electrical contact element. The two receptacles are electrically connected to one another. A main body of the adapter plug is designed for insertion into a recess of a wall portion of the electronics housing, which wall portion faces the actuator. The main body can be fastened to an edge of the recess with tolerance or play so as to be able to compensate for positional deviations of the at least one actuator relative to the electronics housing.
