Abstract: A drive authorization system for an electric drive includes a predefined number of field coils and a rotationally movable element. An evaluation and control unit for operation of the electric drive determines the current position of the movable element from several items of positional information, which can be made available by a predefined number of angle of rotation sensors. To implement an electronic immobilization function, positions, the number of the active rotation angle sensors, or both those positions and that number are made encodable. The evaluation and control unit decodes the encoded positional information of the active rotation angle sensors in order to determine the current position of the movable element. Operation of the electric drive is possible only after successful decoding of the positional information.

Abstract: A driving authorization system comprises an electronic immobilizer function which is coupled to a rotary shaft sensor. The rotary shaft sensor senses the position and/or rotational speed of the rotary shaft by means of a pickup wheel arranged on a rotary shaft, and transmits that information to a vehicle control unit which enables the electronic immobilizer function. According to the invention, the pickup wheel comprises a predefined number of teeth which are arranged distributed along the circumference of the pickup wheel according to a code, and an encoded rotational speed signal which is picked up by the rotary shaft sensor and can be decoded by the vehicle control unit. The vehicle control unit enables the immobilizer function only after successful decoding of the encoded rotational speed signal. A synchronization time for detecting a specific position of the rotary shaft is part of the encoded rotational speed signal.

Abstract: In a method for outputting data relating to user selectable information regarding a motor vehicle, a plurality of user selectable options relating to the information are represented, and data relating to the selected option is output. At least one context-dependent profile is defined, and a set of options determined by the profile is generated. Data are output as a function of the profiles and options.

Abstract: A process for constructing a Bayes network for the imaging and diagnosis of a technical system by means of a system description includes the following steps: constructing a system input node for each system input of the system; constructing a system output node for each system output of the system; imaging all components of the system by means of component state nodes, component input nodes and component output nodes; constructing linkages between component state nodes of different components by means of direct logical and/or causal relationships between function states of components; constructing linkages between component output nodes and component input nodes of different components by means of flows of material, energy and/or information in the system; constructing linkages between system input nodes and component input nodes by means of flows of material, energy and/or information in the system; and constructing linkages between component output nodes and system output nodes by means of flows of material
