  • Patent number: 11108658
    Abstract: A method for detecting data of a vehicle operated at least partially in an automated manner, including at least one sensor, in particular, a surroundings sensor, in particular, a video sensor, a radar sensor, a LIDAR sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, an infrared sensor, and/or a GNSS sensor, in particular, for receiving a GPS signal, a GLONASS signal or a Galileo signal, and/or a vehicle sensor, in particular, for engine control, for activating occupant protection means, for activating assistance functions and/or convenience functions, in particular, an acceleration sensor, a rotation rate sensor, a pressure sensor, and at least one memory, in particular, a ring memory, including detecting data of the at least one sensor; saving the data in the memory, in particular, in the ring memory; detecting an event; initially storing the content of the memory, in particular, of the ring memory, at the point in time of the detected event.

  • Patent number: 9511760
    Abstract: A method is provided for monitoring torques, including the following steps in a first processing unit: Receiving a delta torque; in a first calculating process, calculating a first setpoint torque and a second setpoint torque from the delta torque; in a second calculating process, checking whether a difference of the first setpoint torque and of the second setpoint torque is less than, or equal to the delta torque, the second calculating process being carried out independently of the first calculating process; and output of the first setpoint torque and the second setpoint torque, only if the difference of the first and the second setpoint torque is less than, or equal to the delta torque.

  • Patent number: 7877193
    Abstract: A method for operating a shutoff device for a device, in particular an internal combustion engine and/or an electric machine, in which an operating element for initiating a shutoff operation is provided, and in which a transmission path is provided via which a shutoff signal is transmitted from the operating element to the device in order to deactivate the device. The shutoff device is checked for proper functioning at least in part automatically, by automatically transmitting a shutoff signal, in particular from the operating element via the transmission path to the device.
