Patent number: 9602109Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2011Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBHInventors: Eberhard Boehl, Andreas Hempel, Dieter Thoss, Ruben Bartholomae, Stephen Schmitt, Andreas Merker

Patent number: 9367516Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2011Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Eberhard Boehl, Ruben Bartholomae, Matthias Knauss, Stephen Schmitt, Thomas Wagner, Andreas Hempel, Dieter Thoss, Bernhard Mader, Achim Schaefer, Juergen Hanisch, Uwe Scheurer, Andreas Merker, Rolf Kurrer, Bernd Becker, Bernard Pawlok

Patent number: 9342096Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2011Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Eberhard Boehl, Ruben Bartholomae, Stephen Schmitt, Thomas Wagner, Andreas Hempel, Axel Aue, Dieter Thoss, Thomas Lindenkreuz, Achim Schaefer, Juergen Hanisch, Uwe Scheurer, Andreas Merker, Bernd Becker

Patent number: 6430413Abstract: For mobile radio receivers (MTm) which are used in a cellular radio telecommunications system, in order to allow interruption-free relaying of a telecommunications link, in particular even if stationary radio transmitters (U-BS, H-BS) which are arranged in the cellular telecommunications system are not synchronized (asynchronous radio telecommunications system), the mobile radio receiver (MTm) has, in particular, first to third devices (FKT, SST, BMC, ZST, &mgr;P, SPGM, SWS). Using these devices, it is possible to receive all those radio messages which are transmitted for possible radio links at frequencies, in time slots and/or in channels by the radio transmitter (U-BS, H-BS) and allow radio links to be set up. In consequence, the mobile radio receiver is able to set up, in addition to a first radio link which is used as a telecommunications link, at least one second radio link, which is intended to be used as a telecommunications link, in the background.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 1997Date of Patent: August 6, 2002Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Christoph Wedi, Andreas Merker
