  • Patent number: 8036800
    Abstract: A method for operating a control unit, such a control unit, and a computer program and computer program product for implementing the method are provided. In this context, the control unit is able to assume multiple states, a transition state being interposed during the transition from a first state to a second state.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5417187
    Abstract: A method to adjust the angular position of a camshaft, which is related to the arc of a crankshaft rotation, to a setpoint angular position with the help of a final controlling element that is triggered by an actuating signal from a controlling device that becomes operational when a control program is run. The final controlling element is able to be triggered in each case by one of three values of the actuating signal; the re-adjustment rate (v.sub.-- ESTIMATED) of the camshaft is estimated for its level at the beginning of the subsequent program run; from this re-adjustment rate and the known time response (c, v.sub.-- END) of the camshaft re-adjustment, after the switch is made to the actuating signal from the hold value, a special adjustment angle (.alpha..sub.-- ESTIMATED+) is estimated; and the change is already made from the early or late value of the actuating signal to its hold value when the deviation between the adjustment angle (.alpha..sub.

  • Patent number: 4751633
    Abstract: To prevent change of data in a non-volatile programmable, ready-only memory (25) forming, together with a microprocessor (23) a control unit, for example for an automotive vehicle, while permitting programming of the memory from an external programming unit (P, 1), an interface (3, 11, 12) is provided through which a release-enable bus (13) also passes, data being transmitted in accordance with a predetermined characteristic--even or odd parity--, the parity correctness being checked. If the parity is correct, an "enter" signal is provided on the release-enable bus for storing the data; if not, retransmission is attempted for a predetermined number of time, and if it cannot be correctly effected, a malfunction indication output signal is generated.
