  • Patent number: 11455853
    Abstract: A method for calibrating a radio-based keyless access system of a transportation vehicle, an access system, and a corresponding transportation vehicle. Based on a measured field strength of an LF field, it is determined whether the signal transmitter is located at most at a specified distance from the transportation vehicle. A second transmission device emits a higher-frequency calibration signal in response to which the signal transmitter transmits a response signal back to the transportation vehicle. A reference distance from the signal transmitter to the transportation vehicle is automatically determined from the propagation time of the calibration signal and the response signal. The measured LF field strength-based determination of whether the signal transmitter is located at most at a specified distance from the transportation vehicle is then calibrated automatically based on the determined reference distance.

  • Publication number: 20210197945
    Abstract: A reactor configured to clean ballast water on ships includes a reactor housing having an inlet and an outlet and a reactor tube in the reactor housing providing a fluid connection between the inlet and the outlet. The reactor tube includes an inner wall having a plurality of rounded recesses extending longitudinally from a first end of the reactor tube to a second end of the reactor tube, and the rounded recesses each have a substantially constant cross section from the first end of the reactor tube to the second end of the reactor tube. A radially inwardly projecting ridge extends between each circumferentially adjacent pair of the rounded recesses.

  • Patent number: 10906507
    Abstract: The performance of an action for a transportation vehicle, wherein a relay attack is prevented. In response to a transmission of a first radio signal at a first frequency, on the one hand, a second radio signal at a second frequency is received from an ID transponder authorized for the transportation vehicle and, on the other hand, a further radio signal at the first frequency is received. The action is performed for the transportation vehicle only in response to the second radio signal originating from an ID transponder authorized for the transportation vehicle and only in response to the signal strength of the further radio signal lying below a predefined signal strength threshold.

  • Patent number: 10766453
    Abstract: An apparatus, a key partner, methods and computer programs for a key module of a vehicle and a vehicle. The apparatus for the key module includes a communication interface for radio communication with a key partner of the vehicle, a motion sensor, and a control module for controlling an operating state from operating states of the key module based on the information about the motion of the key module. The operating states include at least a first operating state, a pre-shutdown operating state and a shutdown state. The control module activates the first operating state if the motion of the key module is above a motion limit value and activates the pre-shutdown operating state if the motion of the key module is below the motion limit value over a period of time.
