Patent number: 9367516Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2011Date of Patent: June 14, 2016Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Eberhard Boehl, Ruben Bartholomae, Matthias Knauss, Stephen Schmitt, Thomas Wagner, Andreas Hempel, Dieter Thoss, Bernhard Mader, Achim Schaefer, Juergen Hanisch, Uwe Scheurer, Andreas Merker, Rolf Kurrer, Bernd Becker, Bernard Pawlok

Patent number: 9252625Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-stage charging device for a battery of a battery operated electrical motor. The multistage charging device comprises a buck converter, an intermediate circuit and a boost converter in order to generate a suitable direct charging current from a (one or three-phase) alternating current provided by a power connection. According to the invention, components of the electrical drive are used for the boost converter and the intermediate circuit: the electrical motor functions as an intermediate circuit and the drive converter functions as a boost converter. According to the invention, the coupling of the electrical motor to the network-side buck converter occurs so that at least half the charging current flows through at least one of the at least three coils of the electrical drive. The invention further relates to a corresponding method and to a corresponding use of the drive components.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2012Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Bernd Dittmer, Edwin Eberlein, Jie Ge, Bernhard Mader, Christoph Van Booven, Andreas Mittag, Peter Eitner, Bernd Eckert
