Patent number: 12278345Abstract: An arrangement for pressure monitoring within a battery housing of a battery system. The arrangement includes a first power supply path and a pressure measuring. The pressure measuring unit is electrically connected to the first power supply path. The arrangement also includes a pressure-sensitive mechanical switching unit arranged within the battery housing and electrically connected, in series with the pressure measuring unit, to the first power supply path. The switching unit switches to an electrically conductive switching state when the pressure within the battery housing exceeds a predefined pressure threshold and establishes a supply of power to the pressure measuring unit via the first power supply path, and switches to an electrically blocking switching state when the pressure within the battery housing falls below the pressure threshold and interrupts the supply of power to the pressure measuring unit via the first power supply path.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2022Date of Patent: April 15, 2025Assignee: Vitesco Technologies GmbHInventors: Markus Dietrich, Gerhard Eser, Christian Weber

Patent number: 12259695Abstract: A controller for a technical system is trained using a machine learning method. For this purpose, a chronological sequence of training data is detected for the machine learning method, the training data including both state data as well as control action data of the technical system. A change in the control action data over time is detected specifically and correlated with changes in the state data over time within different time windows, wherein a time window-specific correlation value is ascertained in each case. A resulting time window is then ascertained on the basis of the ascertained correlation values, and the training data which is found within the resulting time window is extracted in a time window-specific manner. The controller is trained by means of the machine learning method using the extracted training data and thereby configured to control the technical system.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2020Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Daniel Hein, Holger Schöner, Marc Christian Weber

Patent number: 12254389Abstract: A technical system controller is trained using a machine learning method. For this purpose, a chronological sequence of training data is detected for the machine learning method. The training data includes state data, which specifies states of the technical system, and control action data, which specifies control actions of the technical system. A chronological sequence of control action data is extracted specifically from the training data and is checked for a change over time. If a change over time is ascertained, a time window including the change is ascertained, and training data which can be found within the time window is extracted in a manner which is specific to the time window. The controller is then trained by the machine learning method using the extracted training data and is thus configured for controlling the technical system.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2019Date of Patent: March 18, 2025Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Siegmund Düll, Kai Heesche, Volkmar Sterzing, Marc Christian Weber

Patent number: 12243421Abstract: Real state information, which influences the switching times of a light signal system, is supplied as input signals to a first neural network in a fixed time cycle. The first neural network calculates estimated state information as a replacement for real state information or parts of the real state information which are not received in good time or are received incorrectly in the fixed time cycle. This estimated state information is output to artificial intelligence which predicts the switching times. The first neural network allows the artificial intelligence to also make good predictions for the switching times of signal groups when one of the many communication paths involved fails or is overloaded. It is therefore possible to predict signal group states in the fixed time cycle in real time with a high degree of robustness and tolerance with respect to gaps in the time cycle of the real state information provided.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2020Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: Yunex GmbHInventors: Harald Frank, Michel Tokic, Marc Christian Weber
