Patent number: 11787426Abstract: A control system for a motor vehicle, having a first control device for controlling a first function of the motor vehicle and a second control device for controlling a second function of the motor vehicle. The first and second control devices are each in a signal transmission connection with at least one sensor and/or at least one actuator. To ensure the proper execution of functions of a motor vehicle controlled by control devices even with a faulty control device with the least possible effort, it is provided that in dependence on the receipt of an error signal from the first control device or the second control device, the respective error-free control device is configured such that the function of the motor vehicle that corresponds to the faulty control device is controlled by the error-free control device.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2020Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: Hella GmbH & Co. KGaAInventors: Sergey Orlov, Carsten Kuegeler, Ulrich Koehler, Peter Grabs, Matthias Korte

Patent number: 11440545Abstract: A control system for a motor vehicle having a first control unit for controlling a first function of the motor vehicle and a second control unit for controlling a second function of the motor vehicle. In order to ensure, with the least possible additional complexity, that functions of a motor vehicle that are controlled by means of control units are properly executed even in the event of a faulty control unit, the control system has a third control unit for controlling the first function and the second function of the motor vehicle and, depending on the receipt of a fault signal of the first and/or second control unit by the third control unit, the third control unit can be configured such that the motor vehicle first and/or second function corresponding to the faulty control unit can be controlled by means of the third control unit alone.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2020Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: Hella GmbH & Co. KGaAInventors: Nikolaus Decius, Ulrich Koehler, Carsten Kuegeler, Sergey Orlov, Juergen Gebert, Peter Grabs, Matthias Korte, Josua Blott, Michael Claus, Heiko Lerch, Sebastian Ludolph, Martin Ott, Sebastian Surmund, Pascal Vollmer, Martin Zillgen, Sven Hillenkoetter, Martin Hopf, Joachim Oechsner

Patent number: 11400951Abstract: A control system for a motor vehicle, including a first control unit for controlling a first function of the motor vehicle, a second control unit for controlling a second function of the motor vehicle and a backup control unit. To ensure the proper execution of functions controlled of a motor vehicle controlled with the aid of control units even in the case of a defective control unit with preferably little additional effort, the backup control unit is configurable depending on the input of an error signal of the first or second control unit such that an actuator corresponding to the defective control unit is controllable with the aid of the backup control unit. A first backup power electronic module is assigned to the first actuator, and a second backup power electronic module is assigned to the second actuator.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2020Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: Hella GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 8587988Abstract: Disclosed is a memory element, a stack, and a memory matrix in which the memory element can be used. Also disclosed is a method for operating the memory matrix, and to a method for determining the true value of a logic operation in an array comprising memory elements. The memory element has at least a first stable state 0 and a second stable state 1. By applying a first write voltage V0, this memory element can be transferred into the high-impedance state 0 and by applying a second write voltage V1, it can be transferred into the likewise high-impedance state 1. By applying a read voltage VR, the magnitude of which is smaller than the write voltages V0 and V1, the memory element exhibits different electrical resistance values. In the parasitic current paths occurring in a memory matrix, the memory element acts as a high-impedance resistor, without in principle being limited to unipolar switching.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2010Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignees: Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH, Rheinish-Westfaelische Technische Hochschule Aachen (RWTH)Inventors: Eike Linn, Carsten Kuegeler, Roland Daniel Rosezin, Rainer Waser
