Abstract: The commissioning of an air conditioning system requires a series of manual steps, which leads to inefficient commissioning. A method is therefore provided for commissioning an air conditioning system of a vehicle, including the following: a) Reading in a target data record indicating a target vehicle state; b) Recording an actual data record indicating an actual vehicle state by measuring at least one signal and/or communicating with at least one vehicle component; c) Comparing the actual vehicle state with a target vehicle state; d) Activating at least one function of the air conditioning system only if the actual vehicle state corresponds to the target vehicle state.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method (100) for cold start optimization of an internal combustion engine (10) comprising: determining (110) a start of an engine preheating device (12); transmitting (115) a selected coolant temperature Tcool_trans to an engine control unit (14); and adapting (140) the selected coolant temperature Tcool_trans transmitted to the engine control unit (14) to a current coolant temperature Tcoll_current during a time interval ?t following the start of the internal combustion engine (10). The present invention further relates to an auxiliary control unit (22) which is configured to execute the method (100).

Abstract: A method and a computing device. A first computing device and a second computing device are connected, wherein the first computing device includes a first virtual machine monitor that hosts a first virtual machine. A boot image is provided on the first computing device, wherein the boot image includes a second virtual machine monitor that is adapted to host the first virtual machine. The second computing device is triggered to boot the boot image from the first computing device. A storage network is established between the first computing device and the second computing device, wherein the storage network includes storage space of the first computing device. Lastly, the first virtual machine is migrated from the first computing device to the second computing device, wherein the first virtual machine is executed by the second computing device but still located on the first virtual machine.

Abstract: A method and system for providing and receiving location-based services for a planned trip of a user having access to a portable telecommunication device. The user creates, e.g., via the Internet, a trip profile. The profile contains base data about the user and the trip. After the profile is created at the Service provider's site, a scheduled delivery of information is activated. The position of the user is computed repeatedly during the trip. When new messages are available for an individual user at his individual current position, the user receives the information. If the information does not match the user's needs, he is able to react and submit his current position in order to receive the right information.
