  • Patent number: 12017644
    Abstract: A method for evaluating measurement data that are obtained by a plurality of sensors. The method includes: the measurement data originating from sensors of a first group are processed by a function evaluation module to form a function signal that, when it is supplied to a driving dynamics system of a vehicle, causes the driving dynamics system to carry out a driving task; the measurement data originating from a second group of sensors are processed by at least a first safety evaluation module to form a first safety signal that, when it is supplied to the driving dynamics system, causes the driving dynamics system to prevent a specified undesired event of the vehicle, the second group containing a proper subset of the first group; the function signal is aggregated with the first safety signal to form a control signal that is capable of being outputted to the driving dynamics system.

  • Patent number: 11876351
    Abstract: A prechamber spark plug, including center and ground electrodes, a housing having an external thread, a cap arranged on the housing and together with the housing defines a prechamber, and an insulator which electrically insulates the center electrode from the housing. The external thread has a thread length in the axial direction. The housing is fastened to the insulator at first and second fixing regions so that a first clamping force at the first fixing region acts from the housing on the insulator, and a second clamping force at the second fixing region acts from the housing on the insulator. The first and second clamping forces are directed in opposite directions to one another in the axial direction. A distance between the first and second fixing regions in the axial direction defines a clamping length. A ratio between the thread length and the clamping length is between 0.7 to 1.3.
