  • Publication number: 20210287087
    Abstract: A method for the inference computation of a plurality of neural networks on a hardware platform. Each of the neural networks comprise a plurality of neurons, which respectively aggregate inputs into a network input using a transfer function characterized by weights and process this network input into an activation using an activation function. The method includes: identifying at least one unit, which comprises one or multiple transfer functions and/or complete neurons and exists in at least two of the networks in the same form or in a form that is similar according to a predefined criterion; performing a single inference computation for the unit on the hardware platform so that the unit provides a set of outputs; processing this set of outputs in the respective networks as an output of the unit. A method for the simultaneous execution of multiple applications is also provided.

  • Patent number: 10174734
    Abstract: A suspension mount for fuel-injection systems is used to connect a fuel injector to a fuel distributor. A connecting body having an accommodation space is provided, a fuel connector of the fuel injector being able to be disposed at least partially in the accommodation space. In addition, a joining body is provided that is disposed, at least in sections, partially in at least one recess of the connecting body, the recess being connected to the accommodation space, and on which the fuel connector is able to be supported along a longitudinal axis of the accommodation space. The joining body also has an elastically deformable element, the elastically deformable element being disposed in such a way that the joining body permits elastic support of the fuel connector on the connecting body at least along the longitudinal axis. A fuel-injection system having such a suspension mount is also indicated.

  • Patent number: 9957937
    Abstract: A suspension for fuel injection systems is used for connecting a fuel injector to a fuel-carrying component. A connecting body having a receiving space is provided for this purpose. The connecting body has an opening, via which a fuel fitting of the fuel injector is insertible at least partially into the receiving space of the connecting body. Furthermore, an annular element and an elastically deformable element are provided. Fuel fitting is supported via the annular element and the elastically deformable element along an axis of the receiving space of the connecting body. A fuel injection system having such a suspension is also indicated. The suspension allows for a soft coupling of the fuel injector to the fuel-carrying component at a desired target stiffness.

  • Patent number: 9885331
    Abstract: The decoupling element for a fuel injection device according to the invention is characterized in particular in that a low noise design is implemented. The fuel injection device includes at least one fuel injector and a receiving borehole in a cylinder head for the fuel injector, and the decoupling element between a valve housing of the fuel injector and a wall of the receiving borehole. The decoupling element is a decoupling system made up of a contoured spring seat on a shoulder of the receiving borehole and a spring washer resting on the shoulder. The fuel injection device is suited in particular for direct injection of fuel into a combustion chamber of a mixture-compressing spark-ignition internal combustion engines.

  • Patent number: 9802616
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for assisting a driver of a motor vehicle, in particular of an electric vehicle, during a driving process for overcoming an obstacle which is close to the ground and has a slow speed. In this context, the method has the following steps: transmission (S1) of a torque to the wheels which are to be driven in order to overcome the obstacle, detection (S6) that the obstacle has been overcome, and automatic reduction in the torque and/or automatic generation (S7) of a braking torque in order to decelerate the motor vehicle directly after the detection.
