Patent number: 11403148Abstract: An electronic control unit includes a plurality of cores. The electronic control unit hosts, by virtualization, a plurality of partitions including a first and a second partition. Each of the partitions is assigned to at least one of the cores. The first partition is implemented to run, on its at least one core, an AUTOSAR architecture platform instance providing AUTOSAR basic software services. The second partition is implemented to run, on its at least one core, AUTOSAR software components. A partition interface couples the first and second partitions such that the AUTOSAR software components are run as part of said AUTOSAR architecture platform instance implemented in the first partition.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2019Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: APTIV TECHNOLOGIES LIMITEDInventors: Arne Lenz, Andreas Schäfer, Sven Hänsel, Max Neusser

Patent number: 7612952Abstract: An adjustment mechanism to adjust a telescope sighting system comprises an adjusting muff rotatably supported on a connector part to drive the adjustment mechanism. The connector part is designed to transmit the motion of the adjusting muff to its connected components in order to adjust them. A first interlocking component is linked to the adjusting muff and fitted with first lock elements to constitute a first click array. A display means indicates the excursion of rotation of the adjusting muff, and a switch actuates the displays following a predetermined rotational excursion of the adjusting muff. A second interlocking component linked to the adjusting muff is provided with a second click array—different from the first click array—constituted by second lock components.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2007Date of Patent: November 3, 2009Assignee: Schmidt & Bender GmbH & Co.

Publication number: 20090241882Abstract: A certain viscosity index (VI) improving additive may be used to increase the viscosity of an autoamotive fuel composition, by an amount greater than that which theory would have predicted to occur to improve the acceleration performance of an internal combustion engine into which the fuel composition is introduced. The fuel composition is suitably a diesel fuel composition, and the additive suitably comprises a block copolymer which contains one or more monomer blocks selected from ethylene, propylene, butylene, butadiene, isoprene and styrene monomers. The additive is preferably used in the composition at a concentration of 0.5 % w/w or lower.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2009Publication date: October 1, 2009Inventors: Andreas Hugo Brunner, Jurgen Johannes Jacobus Louis, Andreas Schafer
