  • Patent number: 11567798
    Abstract: A method for managing computing performance in a real-time data processing system, having at least one apparatus for controlling at least one computing device that is embodied for execution of a first and of at least one further application, at least the first application encompassing at least one anytime algorithm. The method includes: assigning a first computing-performance budget, as a function of a first point in time, to the first application; activating the computing device for execution of the first application, at the first point in time by the computing device; checking whether, after execution of the first application, a portion of the first computing-performance budget is still available and, in the event a portion of the budget is still available, performing (i) activating the computing device for re-execution of the first application, or (ii) assigning the portion of the first computing-performance budget to at least one further application.

  • Patent number: 10972039
    Abstract: The invention provides a device (10) and a method for controlling an electric machine (1). The method comprises the steps of: providing (S01) a desired torque value (54) for a torque to be exerted by the electric machine (1); determining (S02) a fault signal (51) which indicates a fault state of the electric machine (1); determining (S03) a current rotor angle value (56) of the electric machine (1); determining (S04) a fault state operating point (62; 62?) on the basis of the desired torque value (54) provided, the determined fault signal (51) and the determined current rotor angle value (56); and shifting or moving (S05) an operating point, at which the electric machine (1) is operated, from a normal state operating point (61) to the determined fault state operating point (62; 62?).

  • Patent number: 9225274
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for estimating angles in a synchronous machine (11), having an angle sensor device (15) which is designed to determine event-discrete measured values for a rotor angle (?) of a rotor of the synchronous machine (11) and to output a measurement signal dependent on the determined measured values, an estimation device (16) which is designed to record current and/or voltage signals from the synchronous machine (11), to calculate a deviation (??) of the rotor angle (?) of the rotor of the synchronous machine (11) from an expected rotor angle on the basis of the recorded current and/or voltage signals and to output a deviation signal dependent on the calculated deviation (??), and a combining device (17) which is designed to receive the measurement signal and the deviation signal and to calculate an estimated value ({circumflex over (?)}) for the rotor angle (?) of the rotor of the synchronous machine (11) from a combination of the measurement signal and the deviation signal.
