  • Patent number: 7589431
    Abstract: A motor vehicle with a control means and an electrically connected sensor. The sensor is used especially to detect the actuation of a door handle for opening a motor vehicle lock. In order to ensure high failure safety, the sensor for transmission of sensor signals has at least two electrically independent outputs which are connected to the control means via electrical signal lines.

  • Patent number: 7263635
    Abstract: A method for monitoring a bus system having at least three users in a vehicle having a drive unit and a lockable vehicle interior; of the at least three users of the bus system, precisely one first user being formed as the superordinate user and initiating each data transmission on the bus system; at least one second user being formed as an element of a locking system in a vehicle, and at least one third user being arranged outside of the lockable vehicle interior, wherein the first user monitors the data transmission such that in at least one specific operating state of the vehicle and/or the bus system, the first user, for each data transmission on the bus system that was not initiated by it, introduces measures to prevent transmission of the data.

  • Patent number: 7091836
    Abstract: A motor vehicle door locking system and a door handle are proposed. In order to prevent unlocking or opening of an electrically triggered motor vehicle door lock by unintentional actuation of a first actuating means, a second actuating means is employed and required to be activated in combination with the first actuation means for unlocking or opening of the motor vehicle door lock, and thus unlocking or opening the assigned motor vehicle.

  • Patent number: 6991476
    Abstract: This invention relates to an electrical component of a motor vehicle, the electrical component. The electrical component includes control electronics and at least one plug-and-socket connection for electrical connection of the electrical component to a coordinating control or another electrical component. The plug and socket connection further includes a plug, a plug housing and a connecting line. The plug-and-socket connection is detachably connectable, on one end, to a plug receptacle and wherein at least part of the control electronics is housed in the plug-and-socket connection.

  • Patent number: 6936983
    Abstract: A motor vehicle door lock with an electromechanical central locking system drive (1) and a mechanical central locking system element (2) driven by it, the central locking system drive (1) having an electric drive motor (3) and a motor control (5) with a motor state sensor (6). The central locking system element (2) can be moved by the central locking system drive (1) at least into a locked position and the motor control (5) is designed such that it triggers the electric drive motor (3) for driving the central locking system element (2) into the locked position after receiving an actuation signal from an actuation unit, such as a closing cylinder, a locking button, a remote control receiving unit or a handle (inside door handle, outside door handle).
