  • Patent number: 12687843
    Abstract: A device for testing an electronic control unit with a hardware-in-the-loop simulator to simulate at least one sensor signal and equipped with a two-wire cable via which the sensor signal is outputted, and with a switchover device which is connected to the hardware-in-the-loop simulator via the two-wire cable, so that the sensor signal is receivable from the switchover device. The two-wire cable in the switchover device is routed to a two-pole interface of the switchover device to which the electronic control unit can be connected in order to receive the sensor signal, and the switchover device has two voltage sources, each of which is assigned to a wire of the two-wire cable and can be connected to the respective wire via a controllable switch. In this way, it is possible to continue to supply the sensor with electrical energy via two switchable voltage sources during diagnostics, thus avoiding diagnostic errors.

  • Patent number: 12631771
    Abstract: A method may include receiving, by a first computing device, a positional message from a second computing device. The positional message may indicate a position and an accumulated error of the indicated position corresponding to the second computing device. The accumulated error of the second computing device may be compared to an accumulated error of the first computing device in which the first and the second accumulated errors respectively represent degrees of uncertainty regarding respective positions and orientations of the first and second computing devices that increase over time. Responsive to the second accumulated error being less than the first accumulated error, a distance and an orientation of the first computing device relative to the second computing device may be assessed and a position of the first computing device in the environment may be updated based on the distance and the orientation.
