Patent number: 9863358Abstract: A method for operating a common-rail system of a motor vehicle that includes a common-rail-pressure sensor configuration having at least two signal paths, and that can be operated at a maximally permissible common-rail pressure and at a minimally permissible common-rail pressure. Sensor signals are read out in each case in response to a pressure measurement in a common rail of the common-rail system via the at least two signal paths, and a signal deviation value is ascertained that characterizes a deviation between the pressure values that are each determined on the basis of the sensor signals. The method includes reducing the maximally permissible common-rail pressure by a correction value to a maximally permissible emergency common-rail pressure and/or increasing the minimally permissible common-rail pressure by a correction value to a minimally permissible emergency common-rail pressure in response to the signal deviation value exceeding a predefined value.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2014Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBHInventors: Bernd Becker, Rene Zieher, Andreas Sommerer, Kai Wipplinger, Guenter Veit

Patent number: 9436656Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2011Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBHInventors: Eberhard Boehl, Bernd Becker, Bernard Pawlok

Patent number: 9184679Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2011Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBHInventors: Eberhard Boehl, Bernd Becker, Bernard Pawlok
