Abstract: A production method for producing a heat exchanger assembly, which may serve for at least one of cooling and heating a functional component via a heat exchanger fluid, may include first providing a duct flat body, which may have a flow duct comprising a clear flow cross section, through which heat exchanger fluid may be flowable. The method then may include forming the duct flat body as part of a rolling process or as part of a roller burnishing process to form a bent cylinder jacket-shaped heat exchanger housing. The method then may include arranging the bent heat exchanger housing on a jacket surface of the functional component, and fixing the heat exchanger housing on the jacket surface of the functional component.

Abstract: A protection circuit can be used with a computer system having a master device and at least one slave device that are connected by an inter-integrated circuit (I2C) bus. A first access request is received that includes an address that identifies a first slave device. In response to a permissible mode, the first access request is communicated to the first slave device using the I2C bus. A sticky protection bit can be set. In response to the sticky protection bit being set, the protection circuit can be placed in a protected mode. A second access request is received. The second access request can be determined to be a protected access to the first slave device. In response to the determining and the protected mode, the second access request to the first slave device can be denied.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and a device for operating an electric machine for a soft changeover from a normal or free-wheel mode to an active short-circuit. To this end, a voltage with which the electric machine is actuated is first reduced in a defined manner to a predefined, preferably very low value and then the phase connections of the electric machine are short-circuited. Excessively high overcurrents, particularly overcurrents greater than the nominal current of the electric machine, can thus be avoided.

Abstract: The present invention provides a device and a method for changing over an electric machine from the regular operating mode into the open-circuit mode. In order to avoid excessive increases in voltage and associated adverse effects on the electric machine and the other components, in particular batteries, a further control phase is introduced between the end of the regular operating mode and the freewheeling mode, during which further control phase the voltage at the terminals of the electric machine is continuously adjusted from the voltage previously set in the regular operating mode to the expected open-circuit voltage of the electric machine.

Abstract: The invention results in improved switching from the idling mode to an active short circuit mode of an electric machine. According to the invention, the switch from the idling mode to the active electric short circuit mode is delayed until predefined voltage conditions have been reached on the external terminals of an electric machine or until the rotor of the electric machine is in a predetermined position corresponding to the required voltage conditions.
