Patent number: 10449869Abstract: In a method for balancing an energy storage system, a capacitance of capacitive storage modules of a series circuit of capacitive storage modules is determined. The capacitive storage modules are connected to a balancing device to allow control of a charge of each of the capacitive storage modules via a flow of current between the balancing device and the capacitive storage modules. For each of the capacitive storage modules a module charge is determined from a voltage of the capacitive storage module and a predefined balancing voltage. A reference charge is determined from the module charges of the capacitive storage modules, and a balancing charge is determined for each of the capacitive storage modules from the reference charge and the module charge of the capacitive storage module. The charge of the capacitive storage modules is controlled by exchanging the balancing charge between the capacitive storage module and the balancing device.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2015Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: SEIMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Rüdiger Kleffel, Fabian Quast, Swen Ruppert

Patent number: 8627297Abstract: For the purpose of evaluating at least one characteristic value of at least one function in the execution of a program, a method uses a graphical representation of the at least one determined characteristic value associated with the functions. The representation is subdivided into a hierarchical structure, dependent on the degree of call depth of the function, and each call of a function in the graphical representation occupies an area whose size is dependent on the associated determined characteristic value in each case. In this context characteristic values can be any variables that are measurable by means of a profiler, as already explained in the introduction. Typically, an execution of a program is initiated via the calling of first functions, also referred to hereinafter as call depth 1. Said functions may possibly call further functions, i.e. of call depth 2, and so on, until processing of the desired task has been completed.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2008Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: Seimens AktiengesellschaftInventor: Thilo Opaterny

Patent number: 8369514Abstract: The aim of the embodiments is to provide a method for the secure processing of data, in which security is increased in relation to side channel attacks. To achieve this, operation codes for commanding co-processors are determined, for example for the bit-dependent transposition of register contents. The solution exploits the fact that as a result of the technical configuration for the co-processor, a shift of register contents, for example from register A to register B cannot be differentiated from the exterior from a shift from register A to register C.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2006Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: Seimens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Michael Braun, Anton Kargl, Bernd Meyer, Stefan Pyka

Publication number: 20080261541Abstract: The aim of the invention is to suppress interference caused by a mismatch of the power amplifier of a polar-loop transmitter. To achieve this, the crest factor of the output signal from the power amplifier is measured during operation to detect the state of the mismatch and to identify the modification of the transfer characteristic curve of the power amplifier. The crest factor that have been determined are compared with a target value and if the crest factor deviates from the target value, the bandwidth or the amplification of the amplitude closed loop is adapted accordingly., The transmitter can thus regulate the non-linear distortion that occur as a result of the mismatch. Said measures improve the linear behavior or degree of efficiency of the power amplifier.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 4, 2006Publication date: October 23, 2008Applicant: Seimens AktiengesellschaftInventor: Andreas Langer
