  • Patent number: 11142217
    Abstract: A method for monitoring a motor vehicle having an automated driving function. Specific operating modes are each assigned, in each instance, at least one load profile, which is a function of the load circuit needed for the operating mode and normally occurs during this operating mode. At least one characteristic quantity of the energy store is predicted as a function of the load profile. The corresponding operating mode and/or the automated driving function is enabled as a function of the predicted characteristic quantity of the energy store. The predicted characteristic quantity is ascertained as a function of a base load and/or a switching-off potential of the load circuit not needed for the operating mode.

  • Patent number: 10809291
    Abstract: A method for detecting correct connection of at least one energy reservoir to a vehicle electrical system of a motor vehicle. The method includes: ascertaining a voltage dropping at the energy reservoir, and/or a current flowing through the energy reservoir, and/or a voltage present at a terminal as a representative of the electrical system voltage, when the electrical system voltage exceeds or falls below at least one desired voltage, preferably as a function of at least one magnitude characteristic of the energy reservoir, such as an open-circuit voltage or gassing voltage; comparing the ascertained magnitude, such as the voltage and/or current, with at least one limit value; correct connection of the energy reservoir to the vehicle electrical system, or at least one fault, is inferred as a function of the comparison.

  • Patent number: 10684253
    Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for the identification of compounds in carbohydrate mixture compositions as well as the determination of carbohydrate mixture composition patterns, based on e.g. orthogonal cross determining migration time (indices) using capillary gel electrophoresis-laser induced fluorescence and identifying said carbohydrate components based on comparing said migration time (indices) with standard migration time (indices) from a database which data are preferably also orthogonal cross determined. In a further aspect, the present invention relates to a method for carbohydrate mixture composition pattern profiling, like glycosylation pattern profiling using capillary gel electrophoresis-laser induced fluorescence (CGE-LIF). In another aspect, the present invention refers to a system for an automated determination and/or identification of carbohydrates and/or carbohydrate mixture composition patterns (e.g.: glycosylation patterns).
