  • Publication number: 20190333471
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for displaying a notification for a user in which first image data associated with the notification is displayed on a display unit in a normal display mode. The method also includes displaying second image data associated with the notification on the display unit in a safety display mode as soon as a predetermined fault condition is satisfied in the normal display mode. The predetermined fault condition being satisfied is checked by comparing a current display of the first image data by the display unit in the normal display mode, with respect to a presence of image faults, with a reference display of the first image data by the display unit in the normal display mode. The current display and the reference display are subdivided into regions and/or pixels for the comparison, said regions and/or pixels being associated with classes as background, foreground, image edge and/or irrelevant.

  • Publication number: 20190191545
    Abstract: A printed circuit board for a radar level measurement device with a printed circuit board substrate is provided, wherein a microwave signal is coupled via a microwave conductor into a waveguide. A connection region on a front side of the printed circuit board substrate serves to receive the waveguide. A shape of a resonator shell is generated inversely by producing an annular peripheral recess whose wall has an electromagnetically reflecting coating on a rear side of the printed circuit board substrate. The annular peripheral recess on the rear side, together with a region surrounded by the recess, forms a resonator for the injected microwave signals.

  • Publication number: 20180304883
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a transversal guidance system of a motor vehicle through two independent channels to perform automatic transversal guidance interventions. Through the first channel, transversal interventions are performed via a first transversal guidance actuator controlled by means of a driver-operated steering handle. Through the second channel, a vehicle system sets a target roll angle, and a second transversal guidance actuator is controlled by a transversal guidance system that performs a transversal guidance intervention based on the roll angle. The vehicle system displays the roll angle as a notification to the driver of the transversal guidance intervention. The invention also relates to a motor vehicle configured to perform the method.

  • Patent number: 10006797
    Abstract: A level radar is switchable between pulsed and FMCW radar methods. For example, the radar device may include two separate front ends which can be activated selectively via a logic control system. Upon switching to the respective other measurement principle, the evaluation software is also adapted accordingly. In this way, it is possible to use advantageous properties of both measurement methods in a targeted manner.
