Abstract: A method for systematically handling errors, and an assemblage for carrying out the method, are presented. The method serves for systematically handing errors for a goniometer in the context of the transfer of position data with a position transducer, the position transducer possessing markings that are sensed with at least one sensor; a profile being deposited in a memory region in connection with said markings; the position transducer generating as a function of its position, by way of the markings, position signals that carry, as data, parameters that are deposited into a further memory region beginning with an address pointer value of 0; said address pointer being incremented with each position signal; and a synchronization between the position signals and the profile being created, and the values stored in the profile being used to modify the number of pulses outputted to the goniometer.

Abstract: A circuit arrangement for a data processing system is configured to process data in multiple modules. The circuit arrangement is configured to provide a clock as well as a time base and/or a base of at least one further physical quantity for each of the multiple modules. The circuit arrangement also comprises a central routing unit, which is connected to several of the multiple modules. Via the central routing unit, the modules can periodically exchange data based on the time base and/or on the base of the at least one further physical quantity. The several modules are configured to process data independently of and in parallel to other modules of the several modules.

Abstract: A method for predicting a value for a length of a future time interval in which a physical variable changes is described, in which at least one measured value for the length of a past time interval and an instantaneously measured value for a length of an instantaneous time interval are taken into account, m values for lengths of past time intervals being added. A first value precedes the instantaneously measured value by k?1, and an mth value precedes the instantaneously measured value by k?m. The m added values are divided by a value for a length of a past time interval which precedes the instantaneously measured value by k. A ratio of the mentioned values is formed. For determining the value to be predicted, an average error is initially added to the instantaneously measured value, forming a sum. The formed ratio is subsequently applied to this sum.

Abstract: A circuit configuration for generating pulses within a time interval on the basis of an input signal includes a counting unit, a comparator unit and a first adder circuit; the time interval being predicted on the basis of at least two defined changes in input signals; the circuit configuration being configured for triggering at the beginning of the time interval by the first adder circuit on the basis of clock pulses, for generating and outputting pulses; for counting a number of generated and output pulses using the counting unit; for comparing the counted number to a setpoint value using the comparator unit; and for ending the generation and outputting of the pulses in response to the reaching of the setpoint value or the ending of the time interval.

Abstract: A method is described for operating an internal combustion engine, the internal combustion engine including an angle of rotation sensor. In normal operation, a function is activated at a first angle of rotation. In stop operation, internal combustion engine is temporarily brought to a standstill. The function is activated in a start operation following the stop operation at a second angle of rotation, which follows the first angle of rotation in the direction of rotation.

Abstract: A signal acquisition device which receives an input signal, a physical data and a timing data to generate an output data. The signal acquisition device keeps monitoring the input signal for a valid edge. When a valid edge is detected, the signal acquisition device reads the physical data from a physical data processing module and a timing data from a timing module to generate the output data which comprises the new state of the input signal, the physical data and the timing data. The output data is written to a storage arrangement and also sent out to CPU or any other devices.
