Patent number: 10845210Abstract: A sensor interface operates to communicate a sensed quantity along one or more processing pathways and in different data representations. The signal representations can be swapped along one or more locations of the signal processing branches. These branches are independent from one another and combined at an interface component for transmission along a single path or node for a control unit.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2017Date of Patent: November 24, 2020Assignee: Infineon Technologies AGInventors: Christian Reidl, Wolfgang Granig, Harald Witschnig, Dirk Hammerschmidt

Patent number: 10394640Abstract: A hardware monitor may receive information that identifies a requirement for a system. The requirement may be associated with operation of the system during a runtime operation of the system in an intended operating environment. The hardware monitor may program the one or more hardware components to analyze the system based on the requirement. The hardware monitor may receive a signal from the system during the runtime operation of the system in the intended operating environment. The hardware monitor may analyze the signal during the runtime operation of the system based on the requirement. The hardware monitor may determine, during the runtime operation of the system, that the requirement was violated during the runtime operation of the system based on analyzing the signal. The hardware monitor may output information indicating that the requirement was violated.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2017Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: Infineon Technologies Austria AGInventors: Dinh Quoc Thang Nguyen, Udo Hafner, Christian Reidl
