Patent number: 10122312Abstract: The current embodiments provide a method for controlling an induction machine with a plurality of phases. Each phase may include a plurality of parallel windings and each phase may be associated with a half-bridge. The method may include determining a current in a winding of a first phase. The method may further include determining a phase current on the basis of the current in the winding, and controlling the half-bridge associated with the first phase based on the determined phase current.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2016Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: ZF Friedrichshafen AGInventors: Hans-Jürgen Hanft, Erich Karg, Alfred Tareilus

Publication number: 20170334393Abstract: A method for checking a motor vehicle comprises steps for transmitting an ID stored in an electronic control device of a transmission of the motor vehicle, to a central facility, the comparison on the part of the central facility of the ID with stored IDs assigned to specific motor vehicles, the transmission of a notification regarding the comparison result from the central facility to the control device, and the issuing on the part of the control device of a signal, if the ID has been located in the stored IDs. The communication comprises an authentication of the central facility thereby.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2015Publication date: November 23, 2017Applicant: ZF Friedrichshafen AGInventors: Mathias HÄUSLMANN, Josef HABENSCHADEN, Hans-Jürgen HANFT, Volker WAGNER, Roland FRIEDL, Jörg KÜHNL

Patent number: 9253723Abstract: A communication device for a remote switch has a control device designed to supply a preparatory signal for preparing a transmission process and a transmission signal for starting the transmission process. A memory device is designed to save one structural information and a parameter for different transmission protocols. A processing device is designed to supply data to be sent, read the structural information and the parameters from the memory device in response to the preparatory signal and, based on the data to be sent and the structural information, create a send packet, and output the send packet and the parameter in response to the transmission signal. A transmission device is designed to wirelessly emit a transmission signal representing the send packet with a transmission characteristic defined by the parameter.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2013Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: ZF FRIEDRICHSHAFEN AGInventors: Alexander Graf, Hans-Jürgen Hanft, Thomas Boethe
