  • Patent number: 11618400
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for monitoring a motorcycle. Based on the acceleration-relevant data, a vehicle motion and a vehicle position in three-dimensional space are estimated. The vehicle position in space is analyzed and is evaluated as a normal or a critical riding state. A detection direction of a sensor unit is predefined in such a way that in an upright normal resting position of the motorcycle the detection direction lies in a horizontal plane, and the detected acceleration-relevant data encompass a first acceleration component in a longitudinal vehicle direction and a second acceleration component in a transverse vehicle direction. A riding state evaluated as critical is plausibilized with the estimated vehicle motion in order to recognize a critical resting position after an accident. An emergency call is generated when a critical resting position after an accident is recognized.

  • Publication number: 20220144118
    Abstract: An energy supply system has a switch, which in an on state connects first conductors of a first line to second conductors of a second line and in an off state disconnects the first conductors of the first line from the second conductors of the second line. A measurement apparatus determines a difference value characterizing the phase difference between a first AC voltage signal at one first conductor and a second AC voltage signal at one second conductor. A control apparatus outputs a command via a signal transmission apparatus depending on the phase difference value. The first command enables a vehicle connected to the charging station to change the phase position of a fed-in AC voltage signal in the feed-in mode to reduce the phase difference, and the control apparatus enables a first change of state of the switch from the off state to the on state.

  • Patent number: 11186179
    Abstract: A compensation apparatus compensates for leakage currents on conductors that include active conductors. The apparats (20) has a differential current measuring apparatus (22), a power supply unit (60), a first signal generator (33), an output stage (28) and a supply apparatus (39). The differential current measuring apparatus (22) captures a first signal at a first location of the active conductors and supplies it to the first signal generator (33). The first signal characterizes differential current on the active conductors. The first signal generator (33) generates a second signal to compensate for the differential current from the first signal and supplies this second signal to the output stage (28). The output stage (28) injects a compensation current into at least one of the active conductors via the supply apparatus (39) on the basis of the second signal.
