  • Patent number: 6766238
    Abstract: A drive train controller of a motor vehicle has an engine controller for controlling the variables that influence the torque of the engine. The drive train controller also includes a transmission controller for controlling the gear shift operations of the automatic transmission. The transmission controller includes a detection circuit for determining the respective driving situation of the motor vehicle. The transmission controller changes the transmission ratio in a manner that is adaptively matched to the dynamics of the determined driving situation and/or the driver characteristics.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 28, 2002
    Date of Patent: July 20, 2004
    Assignee: Siemens Aktiengesellschaft
    Inventors: Friedrich Graf, Frank Lohrenz, Ernst Nock
  • Patent number: 6533703
    Abstract: A motor vehicle drive and a method for controlling a motor vehicle drive in which control signals, by reference to which a set position is set, are transmitted from a superordinate controller to a subordinate clutch position controller. An actual position signal is transmitted from the position controller to the controller. A feedback message is transmitted from the controller to the position controller via an efficient interface, and the controlling quality is thus optimized by the position controller in accordance with the respective travel situation.

  • Patent number: 5120086
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pipe connection in which an intermediate ring which is provided on its end faces with sealing lips is inserted between the widened pipe ends and clamping means are provided which brace the widened pipe ends and the intermediate ring together in a force-locking manner, the sealing lips of the intermediate ring being plastically deformed.
