  • Patent number: 8102303
    Abstract: A method for distance measurement and data transmission in a continuous wave radar system is described. A continuous wave radar system has a transmit and receive module and at least one transponder device, a mobile control and monitoring device and an HMI system. Transponder devices are searched for with the aid of an unmodulated continuous wave signal as an interrogation signal, such that the transponder device can send a radio response signal to the transmit and receive module in response to the interrogation signal, as a result of which a data transmission takes place from the transponder device to the transmit and receive module. Upon completion of the data transmission a frequency-modulated continuous wave signal is generated in order to measure, on the basis thereof, a distance between the transponder device and the transmit and receive module.

  • Patent number: 7848826
    Abstract: There is described a method for enabling the operation of automation components of a technical system via a mobile control and monitoring device. In a first step, the control and monitoring device receives a first identification from a first transponder device, with the first transponder device being attached to the technical system, with the first transponder device having been activated by the automation components and with the first identification having been transmitted via a wireless communication connection from the automation components to the mobile control and monitoring device. In a further step the communication connection between the control and monitoring device and the automation components is deactivated. The mobile control and monitoring device sends a carrier signal and following that receives the carrier signal modulated by the first transponder device.

  • Patent number: 7775098
    Abstract: A method for assigning a position of a tire, having a tire sensor, on a vehicle, includes transmitting, with the sensor, a signal including at least an identification number of the sensor following activation by a signal from an LF antenna connected to an evaluation unit. At a system start time, the evaluation unit first initiates an initialization including determination of the position of each tire having a sensor. The evaluation unit stores the identification number of each sensor together with the determined position of the tire having the sensor, before switching into a normal operating mode in which tire data, for example air pressure, is monitored by the sensors, with the position and preferably assignment of the sensor to a specific LF antenna, being stored in the sensor and kept available for retrieval. A device and a system for measuring air pressure in a vehicle tire are also provided.

  • Patent number: 7693504
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for reduction of the power consumption of a mobile data memory with a non-contact data transmission by means of a read/write device. According to the invention, the mobile data memory, containing at least one energy store and user, is supplied, at least during a cyclic inactive idle mode, with a first clock frequency from a first oscillator and, for data receipt at least during a cyclic request time, with a second higher clock frequency from a second oscillator. The second clock frequency is determined above all for data modulation of a received signal, obtained from the reception antenna or from a combined transmission/reception antenna on the mobile data memory. The invention further relates to a mobile data memory and an identification system with at least one read/write device and one mobile data memory. The advantage of requiring no battery exchange during the life of the mobile data memory is thus conferred.

  • Patent number: 7630918
    Abstract: A charging device (BEV) on an vehicle (FAR), for a dual toll system (SYS), is capable of receiving positional data from a position determining system (PES), concerning the actual location of the vehicle (FAR) and to calculate location co-ordinates (OKO) for the vehicle (FAR). Said charging device (BEV) is further capable of calculating a characteristic signature (SIG) for the stretch of road (STR) traveled by the vehicle (FAR) by means of location co-ordinates (OKO) for the vehicle (FAR) and transmitting the same to an accounting centre (ABZ), outside the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 7567792
    Abstract: A method for controlling a power supply of a mobile data memory (MDS). The mobile data memory is operable to communicate via wireless data transfer using an antenna (A). The mobile data memory has at least one energy accumulator (BAT), a data demodulator (EMP), a data processing unit (C) and an electronic memory (MEM). The method includes switching to a standby mode from a full operation mode, the standby mode having a lower energy supply than the full operation mode but permitting receipt of the signal. When the mobile data memory receives a signal (ES), the received signal is evaluated to detect at least one backscatter frequency and an associated communication frequency (f1, f2).

  • Publication number: 20090076663
    Abstract: A method and device for assigning a vehicle wheel to axles having different wheel sizes. The method includes measuring the acceleration “a” sensed by an acceleration sensor of a wheel electronic system in a wheel. The measured acceleration value is transmitted to an evaluation unit, which compares the measured acceleration value “a” with a standard value stored in a memory for a standard wheel. The evaluation unit assigns the vehicle wheel to an axle as a function of the comparison result. The method and device are particularly suited to determining lift axles for trucks.

  • Patent number: 7320379
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for occupant protection in a motor vehicle and for anti-theft protection of the motor vehicle, comprising an airbag (3), which may be inflated with gas by means of a filling device, a transceiver (5), for electromagnetic waves (6) and an occupant protection analytical unit (81) connected thereto. An occupant protection interrogation unit (41) is arranged on the inflatable airbag (3), which is wirelessly interrogated by the transceiver (5). Information on the degree and/or speed of unfolding of the airbag is thus provided to the occupant protection analytical unit (81). The transceiver (5) may furthermore wirelessly interrogate a portable anti-theft interrogation unit (42), for example, a chipcard and hence provide an anti-theft analytical unit (82) with information about the authorisation of the anti-theft interrogation unit (42) and/or the separation of the anti-theft interrogation unit (42) from the transceiver (5) based on the returned signal.

  • Patent number: 7289458
    Abstract: A method for transmitting data between a read/write unit (SLG) and one or more mobile data stores (D, HD) in an identification system. The method includes dividing the data transmission occurring between the read/write unit (SLG) and the data stores (D, HD) into a plurality of timeslots (SLOT), subframes (SUBFRAME) and frames. An identification timeslot (S-CH) from the respective data store (D, HD) is received and evaluated in at least one evaluation timeslot (SOa) and the data store is identified as a mobile high-speed data store (HD) if the identification timeslot (S-CH) is a high-speed identification timeslot (S31,0, S0,31), and an associated data-store identifier block (MB2) is evaluated at least beginning during the subsequent timeslot after the identification timeslot (S-CH) onward. The method provides for very rapid detection of high-speed data stores (HD).
