Abstract: A process and system is provided for anticipatory energy management in vehicles, including providing a driver with anticipatory driving style information. The system includes a sensor interface that acquires vehicle sensor data, a position interface that acquires position data of the vehicle, a storage module that stores an event databank, and an output unit that outputs information concerning an imminent driving event to the driver. A driving event is detected from the acquired position and sensor data, and is stored as an event dataset in the event databank, the driving event being associated with an event position. The system may also recognize from the acquired position data that the vehicle is driving on a current route that includes the event position, and may output information concerning the stored driving event from the output unit before the vehicle reaches the event position.

Abstract: A temperature control method for an electrochemical energy storage device having a cooling device for cooling the storage device in a vehicle. An actual temperature value of the storage device is determined, and a desired temperature value of the storage device is set by a two-point control system, which activates the cooling device at an upper temperature limit of the storage device and deactivates the cooling device at a lower temperature limit. The upper temperature limit and/or the lower temperature limit are defined as a function of time during operation of the storage device or during activation of the cooling device. The upper temperature limit and/or the lower temperature limit are defined as a function of the energy storage device data and/or the vehicle operating data.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) in a mobile communications system is operated in a manner that alleviates or avoids an overload condition in the UE. This involves operating a receiver of the UE to receive one or more data blocks via a channel. In response to a user equipment overload condition being detected, a channel quality indicator (CQI) value is reported to a serving base station, wherein the reported CQI value represents a channel quality that is lower than an actual quality of the channel. The UE is then operated in a manner that is consistent with the reported CQI value. UE overload conditions include overheating, and an inability to process received data blocks at the rate at which they are being received.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for exposing the third party call control functionality of a telecom signaling network as a web services interface. An intelligent network application part (INAP) plug-in is used to provide the translation logic of simple web service interface calls received from a client application, into the lower-level signaling protocol invocations needed to provide the third party call functionality at the network level. The INAP plug-in is deployed in a service access gateway positioned between the telecommunications signaling-based network and a multitude of service provider applications that seek to access various functions in the network. By implementing the INAP plug-in, applications are provided with access to third party call control (3PCC) within the network, without the necessity of invoking low-level signaling needed to establish calls, terminate or cancel calls, as well as obtain various call information.

Abstract: A process for operating a hybrid vehicle in an internal-combustion-engine-driven mode and/or in an electric-motor-driven mode, wherein, on a route section to be traveled and considered for driving in the electric-motor-driven mode, a change to the electric-motor-driven mode will take place only when a threshold value is exceeded which represents, or correlates with the efficiency advantage achievable on the route section by a change from the internal-combustion-engine-driven mode to the electric-motor-driven mode. Starting from the instantaneous position of the hybrid vehicle, the route is examined in an anticipatory manner with respect to such a route section, wherein the threshold value is adapted when such a route section was recognized and a driving through the route section in the electric driving mode would likely lead to a lowering of the state of charge of an electric energy accumulator into a critical state of charge range.
