Abstract: A method for transmitting data from an actuator to a control unit controlling the actuator. The control unit controls a piezoelectric element contained in the actuator. In order to transmit the data, in the actuator, a load being or not being connected in parallel with the piezoelectric element.

Abstract: A method for transferring data from an actuating element to a control unit activating the actuating element. The control unit activates an inductance contained in the actuating element, for the transfer of the data in the actuating element in parallel to the inductance, a load being connected in parallel, or not.

Abstract: A circuit configuration for a data processing system for predicting a coordinate for at least one operation to be carried out is provided, the prediction being connected to at least one input signal and being a function of a predefined first time value and at least one predefined first value which represents another physical variable. Upon each change of the at least one input signal, a second time value is calculated in each case from the first value, and to subtract the first time value from the second time value to form a third time value, and/or to calculate a second value from the first time value, and to subtract the first value from the second value to form a third value, in order to determine from the third time value and/or the third value a state in which the at least one operation is to be carried out.

Abstract: A circuit arrangement for a data processing system is configured to process data in multiple modules. The circuit arrangement is configured to provide a clock as well as a time base and/or a base of at least one further physical quantity for each of the multiple modules. The circuit arrangement also comprises a central routing unit, which is connected to several of the multiple modules. Via the central routing unit, the modules can periodically exchange data based on the time base and/or on the base of the at least one further physical quantity. The several modules are configured to process data independently of and in parallel to other modules of the several modules.

Abstract: A circuit arrangement for a data processing system is configured to process data in a plurality of modules. The circuit arrangement is configured such that each module is provided with at least one clock pulse, a time base and a base of at least one additional physical variable. The circuit arrangement also comprises a central routing unit to which the plurality of modules are coupled and via which the plurality of modules can periodically exchange data amongst themselves, based on the time base and/or the base of other physical variables. Each module is configured independently and parallel to other modules of the plurality of modules in order to process data. The circuit arrangement is employed in a corresponding method.

Abstract: In a device or method for insertion of a recording medium into a transport path of a printer an elastic insertion plate is provided that, at an end facing away from a transport direction of the transport path, has a clamper to accept the recording medium to be inserted as well as at least one transport surface for interaction with at least one transport roller. The clamper comprises a magnet and an associated metal surface that accepts a leading end of the recording medium between the magnet and the metal surface such that the recording medium leading end is releasably clamped.

Abstract: A method and a device for controlling a fuel metering system are described. The fuel metering system includes at least one injector for injecting fuel into an internal combustion engine. An electric current value is applied to the at least one injector, and a rail pressure value is determined based on the electric current value.

Abstract: In a method and a device for testing for leakage in a fuel injection valve of an internal combustion engine, a temperature quantity is determined that characterizes the temperature of at least a part of the fuel injection valve. On the basis of this temperature quantity, the presence of a leak is inferred.
