Abstract: A system and method are provided that use an AC power supply, a battery, and intelligent control, to power a system. During idle or down times, the power system stores energy from the AC power supply. When the powered system is in operation and the power needed exceeds that available from the AC power supply, stored power from the battery supplies the difference between the required power and the available AC power.

Abstract: A method for initializing an electronically slip-controllable power braking system after a startup and an electronically slip-controllable power braking system. Power braking systems are equipped with a pressure generator for conveying pressure medium in a pressure medium circuit. The pressure generator includes a plunger unit made up of a plunger cylinder, a plunger piston, and a plunger work chamber enclosed by plunger cylinder and plunger piston. A characteristic, using which an actuation of the plunger piston is carried out by the motor during the initialization of the power braking system, is selected by the electronic control unit as a function of a piece of information present about the position of plunger piston at the start of the initialization and implemented by corresponding electronic activation of the motor.

Abstract: System (195) and method (300) for providing an extra torque from a motor (110) to a brake pedal (115). The system comprises a brake pedal (115) having an input rod; a motor (110); a sensor (125); and an electronic controller (130) configured to receive a velocity of the input rod of the brake pedal (115) from the sensor (125), determine a torque ratio based on the velocity, determine a differential stroke of the brake pedal (115), determine a torque offset based on the differential stroke, determine an extra torque based on the torque ratio and the torque offset, and control the motor (110) to apply the extra torque to the brake pedal (115).

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for voltage identification using a pulse-width modulation signal are provided. Such an integrated circuit device may include an input/output (I/O) interface and voltage identification (VID) circuitry. The VID circuitry may be coupled to the input/output interface. The voltage identification circuitry may generate a voltage identification signal that is output on the input/output interface. The voltage identification signal may include a pulsed signal having a particular duty cycle that corresponds to a specified voltage level to enable a voltage regulator that receives the voltage identification signal to provide an input voltage to the integrated circuit device at the specified voltage level.

Abstract: A method for operating an electromechanical brake booster of a braking system including: establishing a virtual setpoint brake pressure variable; and establishing a setpoint differential travel variable with respect to a setpoint differential travel at least by: establishing a first intermediate value while taking into consideration a first weighting relation and a minimum from a first value set including the virtual setpoint brake pressure variable and a jump-in pressure variable; and establishing a second intermediate value while taking into consideration a second weighting relation and a maximum from a second value set including zero and a value of a difference using the virtual setpoint brake pressure variable as the minuend and the jump-in pressure variable as the subtrahend. A method for operating a recuperative braking system is also provided.
