Abstract: A digital assistant is determined from a plurality of digital assistants in a vehicle for performing a vehicle function. A speech message of a vehicle occupant is received via a digital assistant from the plurality of digital assistants in the vehicle. A command of the speech message is ascertained via the digital assistant. An execution authorization of the vehicle occupant is determined for the command of the speech message via the digital assistant. If the vehicle occupant has an execution authorization for the command of the speech message, command of the speech message is executed via the digital assistant in order perform the vehicle function in the vehicle.

Abstract: A configuration system of a vehicle has at least one functional unit, a control unit pertaining to the functional unit, and a parametrizing unit provided in the vehicle, which is operatively connected with the control unit. The configuring system includes a storage device which can be read out by the parametrizing unit and which contains configuration information for the control unit, by which configuration information a parametrizing of the control unit can be carried out. The storage device additionally contains configuration information for the vehicle, in which case the storage device contains evaluation rules by which the parametrizing unit can determine configuration information for the configuration of the control unit from the configuration information for the vehicle and the configuration information for the control unit and can configure the control unit.

Abstract: A method for text-to-speech performance evaluation includes providing a plurality of speech samples and scores associated with the respective speech samples, establishing a speech model based on the plurality of speech samples and the corresponding scores, and evaluating a TTS engine by the speech model. In certain embodiments of the invention, only one person is required to generate a standard speech model at the beginning stage, where this speech model can be repetitively used for test and evaluation of different TTS synthesis engines. In certain embodiments, the approach of the invention decreases the required time and labor cost.

Abstract: A desired-status storage device in which details concerning control devices is provided in an on-board network system and the data statuses present in each of these control devices are stored. A retrieval device addresses the control devices provided in the on-board network system and retrieves the data statuses in each case actually present in the concerned control device, and stores the result of the retrieval. A comparison device compares the data statuses stored in the desired-status storage device with the data statuses determined by the retrieval device. In the event of a deviation of the data statuses, a measures device initiates at least one measure, particularly, if required, a measure which ensures a safe driving operation of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: A spring-force terminal point for an electrical conductor (8) with a clamping spring (1) and with a busbar (2) such that, in a clamping position, the conductor (8) bears against the busbar (2) under the pressure of the clamping spring (1), a tension lever (11) holding, with a latching cam (12), the clamping spring (1) in an opening position, and the tension lever (11) being capable of being triggered by means of a rotary movement so as to move the clamping spring (1) out of its opening position into its clamping position.

Abstract: A connection system includes a current bar, a contact foot, a clamping element, and a bearing bar with an edge, behind which the clamping element reaches, the contact foot is held at the current bar by a resilient clamp connection for simplifying production.

Abstract: A screwless connecting terminal, in particular a modular terminal, is described. The terminal has a conductor rail situated in a terminal housing, an insulation-piercing connection connected in an electrically conductive fashion with the conductor rail, and between whose cutting edges, which face one another, an electrical conductor can be contacted that can be introduced into the terminal housing via a housing lead-through. An insulation-piercing contacting of the immovably positioned conductor takes place through a translational movement of the insulation-piercing connection along the conductor rail in a longitudinal direction of the rail. At least one bead is formed in at least one clamp limb of the insulation-piercing connection.

Abstract: A clamping spring for a spring terminal includes a fixed leg and an angular spring leg disposed resiliently on the fixed leg. An auxiliary spring leg is disposed resiliently on the fixed leg and acts with its spring force on the spring leg.

Abstract: A holder for a busbar includes a receiving slot for receiving the busbar and at least one spring-loaded jaw projecting under spring pressure into the receiving slot as a stop for fixing the busbar in the axial direction.

Abstract: A screwless terminal, especially a modular terminal (1), with a conductor bar (3) situated in a terminal housing (2) and with an insulation displacement contact element (4) electroconductively connected to the conductor bar (3). An electrical conductor (11) that is introduced via a housing lead-through can be contacted between the cutting edges (7, 8) of the insulation displacement contact element (4) whereby the cutting edges (7,8) face each other. The insulation displacement contact element (4) is moveably arranged on the conductor bar (3). Insulation displacement contacting of the fixedly position conductor (11) is carried out by a translation movement of the insulation displacement contact element (4) along the conductor bar (3).
