Method for authenticating a diagnostic trouble code generated by a motor vehicle system of a vehicle
Patent number: 11361600Abstract: A method for authenticating at least one diagnostic trouble code (DTC) generated by a motor vehicle system of a vehicle. The method generates a DTC by a fault detection algorithm, stores the DTC in a volatile fault memory, generates an identity marker denoting the fault detection algorithm at the time of generation of the DTC, stores the identity marker in NVM, stores the DTC in the NVM when an ignition-off request signal is present, loads the DTC from the NVM into the volatile memory when an ignition-on request signal is present, and authenticates the DTC by the authentication data record by, initially by determining the fault detection algorithm by which the fault event was detected, subsequently this fault detection algorithm being compared with the fault detection algorithm indicated by the identity marker, and an absence of concordance resulting in a manipulation of the DTC being indicated.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2019Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Inventors: Scott F.

Patent number: 10466197Abstract: A packaging technology for MECS components, which allows the realization of extremely robust components which are resistant to high temperatures and media. Such a component includes at least one micro-electrochemical sensor (MECS) component having a diaphragm, which is developed in a layer construction on the substrate of the component and spans an opening in the substrate rear side, and a carrier for the mounting and electrical contacting of the MECS component on an application circuit board. The MECS component is bonded to the carrier in flip chip technology, so that a hermetically tight mechanical connection between the top surface of the MECS component and the carrier surface exists at least in one connection region, and an electric connection between the MECS component and the carrier exists in at least one contact area.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2016Date of Patent: November 5, 2019Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Roland Guenschel, Harald Guenschel, Lothar Diehl, Gerhard Schneider

Patent number: 10286948Abstract: A method of detecting for primary circuit loss of an electronic stability control system for a vehicle comprises checking that a lateral acceleration sensor is installed and working properly, a yaw sensor is installed and working properly, and a steering wheel angle sensor is installed and working properly. An absolute value of the lateral acceleration sensor is compared with a first pre-defined threshold, an absolute value of the yaw sensor is compared with a second pre-defined threshold, and an absolute value of the steering wheel angle sensor is compared with a third pre-defined threshold. It is determined that primary circuit loss detection is not required when any of the three sensors are equal to and above the respective pre-defined thresholds and that primary circuit loss detection is required when all of the three sensors are below the respective pre-defined threshold.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2016Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: Continental Automotive Systems, Inc.Inventors: Ying Yang, Bo Ye, Michael Gerhard Schneider, Clinton Schumann

Patent number: 9718474Abstract: A vehicle stability control system operates by detecting a wheel speed potentially indicative of the presence of a mini-spare wheel at a wheel location of a vehicle with a wheel speed sensor and determines that a mini-spare tire is present responsive to the wheel speed remaining within a predefined band for predefined time. A threshold value that triggers action by a vehicle stability control system is adjusted to provide the mini-spare wheel with a value different than a wheel speed threshold value indicative of wheel slipping for a standard wheel.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2015Date of Patent: August 1, 2017Assignee: Continental Automotive Systems, Inc.Inventors: Bo Ye, Michael Gerhard Schneider, Sai-Pavan Eswara, Matthew Conrad Tuhro, Vesa Luomaranta

Patent number: 9474452Abstract: A method and a system for quantifying anaesthesia and/or a state of vigilance (e.g. monitoring sedation or sleep) from a plurality of parameters acquired from a subject allows to determine an indicator that reliably quantifies the hypnotic component of anaesthesia and/or the state of vigilance and/or the analgesic component of anaesthesia, even if the number of parameters varies while monitoring the subject. Preferably, a first sub-indicator based on a first subset of parameters adapted to characterize a boundary region between consciousness and unconsciousness is determined, and a second sub-indicator based on a second subset of parameters adapted to characterize a level of hypnosis of said subject is determined, and said first sub-indicator and said second sub-indicator are then combined to compute a global indicator value.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2012Date of Patent: October 25, 2016Assignee: Technische Universitaet MuenchenInventors: Eberhard F.
