  • Patent number: 12264975
    Abstract: A device for determining temperature information from a sensor device, which is configured to transmit sensor information by time-limited electrical pulses according to a defined protocol, including: a data processing unit configured to perform the following: retrieving reference data relating to a relationship between a pulse duration of the electrical pulses and thermal effects in the sensor device; measuring the pulse duration at at least one of the electrical pulses; and determining the temperature information on the basis of at least one result of the measurement and the reference data. Also described are a related sensor system, a related vehicle, related methods, and a computer readable medium.

  • Patent number: 12099460
    Abstract: A wheel information transfer apparatus, including: an information detection apparatus to detect and store wheel-related information; and an information transfer apparatus to transfer the wheel-related information over a transfer medium; in which the information transfer apparatus is configured to transfer at least a first portion of the wheel-related information parallel or quasi-parallel, and in which the information transfer apparatus is configured to transfer the at least first portion of the wheel-related information or a second portion of the wheel-related information serially within the parallel or quasi-parallel data transfer. Also described are a wheel information transfer method and a related vehicle.

  • Patent number: 12061210
    Abstract: A wheel-speed sensor (WSS), including: an active pulse-sensor (PS) having a detection-direction (DD), and a housing for the PS; a movement of a pulse-generator in the DD is detectable by the PS; the WSS has an axis and axis direction (AD) defined to be aligned perpendicularly to the DD; the housing has first/second-components, the first-component (FC) being enclose-able and to which the FC is connectable; the PS is on the FC; the WSS has a radial-cable-outlet (RCO), aligned radially to the axis to lead a cable out; the RCO integrally formed with the second-component (SC) so that the cable is led in a different direction; the FC has a first-region (FR), and the SC has a second-region (SR), the FR-contour-circumference having a shape-feature in predetermined-angle (PA) steps around the axis, so that an FC orientation is definable in the PA steps to provide a PA around the axis.

  • Patent number: 11988684
    Abstract: A wheel speed sensor for a utility vehicle, including: an active pulse sensor, a housing to at least partially enclose the active pulse sensor, and a protective cap to at least partially cover the housing; in which the wheel speed sensor has at least one component to adapt a temperature resistance capability of the wheel speed sensors so that the wheel speed sensor is usable in a high temperature environment.
