  • Patent number: 6718279
    Abstract: Vehicle stability regulating system for land vehicles, with a yaw rate sensor (GRS) which during operation delivers a first output signal (GR) representative of the yaw rate of the vehicle and a second output signal (Temp) representative of the operating or ambient temperature of the yaw rate sensor (GRS), and an additional sensor arrangement (SENS), which delivers a third output signal (0-GR) representing a non-yawing state of the vehicle, at least within a predetermined range of tolerance, wherein the first, the second and the third output signal are fed into an electronic control unit (ECU), and wherein the electronic control unit (ECU) comprises a computer unit (CPU) and at least one writable data memory (RAM) and a control program memory (ROM), which is connected to the computer unit, wherein a control program stored in the control program memory controls the computer unit so that in a learning mode the computer unit determines a temperature-related zero offset value from the first output signal in accor

  • Patent number: 5526264
    Abstract: An anti-lock brake control system comprises at least two micro-computers and at least two input/output circuits which monitor one another as well as functions of other components of the anti-lock brake control system. If faulty voltages appear within the anti-lock brake control system or if false values in transmitted signals occur, the anti-lock brake control system will be dependably shut down. By integrating a plurality of monitoring functions in the input/output circuits as well as by building redundancies into the anti-lock brake control system, a high level of safety is achieved, in spite of the small number of necessary components and the small production cost associated therewith.
