  • Patent number: 11595412
    Abstract: A method of detecting manipulation of data on a Controller Area Network (CAN) bus, and a device performing the method. In an aspect, the method includes detecting manipulation of data on a CAN bus to which the device is connected. The method comprises detecting that bus impedance is below a threshold bus impedance value, detecting whether or not CAN node arbitration currently may occur on the CAN bus upon detecting that the bus impedance is below the threshold bus impedance value, and if not determining that an attempt to manipulate data on the CAN bus has occurred.

  • Patent number: 11283646
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of monitoring Local Interconnect Network (LIN) nodes and a monitoring device performing the method. In an aspect a method of a monitoring device of monitoring a plurality of LIN buses is provided, wherein at least one LIN node is connected to each LIN bus, said plurality of LIN buses being interconnected via the monitoring device. The method comprises detecting, for each LIN bus, any dominant data being sent over said each LIN bus by a LIN node connected to said each LIN bus and routing said any dominant data received by the monitoring device over said each LIN bus to all remaining LIN buses without overwriting any dominant data sent over the remaining LIN buses.

  • Patent number: 10977879
    Abstract: A method of evaluating compatibility of a first system component of a vehicle, the method including providing a database including vehicle platform configuration information including configuration information about two or more vehicle models, wherein each vehicle model includes one or more aspect domains and each aspect domain includes one or more system components. Each system component includes configuration information. At least two system components of two different vehicle models belong to the same aspect domain. The method also includes determining a compatibility result between said first system component and at least one other system component in said vehicle platform by comparing the configuration information of said first system component to the configuration information of said at least one other system component.

  • Patent number: 7907082
    Abstract: A method and system for presence detection within a detection volume delimited by an inner radius and an outer radius using microwave radiation. The outer radius of the detection volume is controlled by selecting the length of a first pulse controlling the transmit interval of a microwave transmitter and by selecting the length of a third pulse controlling the receive interval of a microwave receiver. The inner radius of the detection volume is controlled through selecting the length of a second pulse defining a predetermined time period between the first pulse and the third pulse.

  • Patent number: 7760130
    Abstract: A method for presence detection using a microwave transmitter and a microwave receiver, the method including generating a sequence of clock pulses by means of a pulse generator, feeding the clock pulses to a clocked circuit arranged to generate a sequence of first pulses of a first pulse length and a sequence of second pulses of a second pulse length, each one of the first and second pulse lengths being related to a predetermined number of the clock pulses, periodically actuating the microwave transmitter by means of the sequence of first pulses, periodically actuating the microwave receiver by means of the sequence of second pulses; and determining whether an object is present in the detection volume based on microwave radiation being received by the microwave receiver. A system for such presence detection is also disclosed.
