  • Patent number: 11203352
    Abstract: A motor vehicle controller performs one or more control and/or monitoring functions. The controller includes a processor which determines a first utilization level of the controller during the motor vehicle's travel mode, and a communication interface which receives program code. The program code defines a new control and/or monitoring function of the controller and/or modifies a control and/or monitoring function of the controller. The processor further determines a second utilization level of the controller in the motor vehicle's standstill mode. The program code is the basis for performing the controller's new control and/or monitoring function and/or the modified control and/or monitoring function of the controller, and take the first and second utilization levels as basis for deciding to perform the controller's new control and/or monitoring function and/or the controller's modified control and/or monitoring function in the vehicle's travel mode.

  • Patent number: 9243336
    Abstract: In the case of a process for the manufacture of contact strips, in particular for electrolyzers (membrane cells), the objective is to provide a solution that allows to create a cheap but also extremely efficient method for the manufacture of such contact strips at a high electrical efficiency. This objective is achieved by applying the roll bonding method to attach a copper strip to a titanium strip.
