  • Method and device for operating an internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 10711707
    Abstract: A method for ascertaining whether a combustion process is being carried out in a cylinder of an internal combustion engine, it being decided whether or not the combustion process is present as a function of a relative angle between a characteristic signature of a variable characterizing a time curve of a state variable of the internal combustion engine and a specifiable crankshaft angle.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 2, 2017
    Date of Patent: July 14, 2020
    Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbH
    Inventors: Lydia Gauerhof, Heiko Fahrion, Magnus Oppelland

  • Method and device for monitoring a drive of a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 9739368
    Abstract: A method for the safe operation of a drive of a motor vehicle, the drive being controlled by at least one control unit, including acceleration monitoring in which the allowability of an operating state of the drive results as a function of a comparison of an ascertained actual acceleration with an allowable acceleration, a fault response being initiated as a function of whether a braking request is present, if the comparison shows that an inadvertent acceleration is present.

  • Method and device for preventing unintentional acceleration of a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 9460628
    Abstract: A method for monitoring a motor vehicle includes: monitoring whether a speed of the motor vehicle indicates a stopping condition of the motor vehicle; detecting whether at least one vehicle operating condition indicating an imminent unintentional acceleration of the vehicle exists; and triggering a fault response if (i) the vehicle is in the stopping condition and (ii) the at least one vehicle operating condition indicating an imminent unintentional acceleration of the vehicle exists.

  • METHOD AND DEVICE FOR MONITORING A DRIVE OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
    Publication number: 20150105997
    Abstract: A method for the safe operation of a drive of a motor vehicle, including rotational speed monitoring in which, if an actual rotational speed (n) of an internal combustion engine exceeds a predefinable lower rotational speed threshold (n_max_lower), a fault response action is carried out, the fault response action being selected as a function of whether additional predefinable conditions are present.

  • METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PREVENTING UNINTENTIONAL ACCELERATION OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
    Publication number: 20150025765
    Abstract: A method for monitoring a motor vehicle includes: monitoring whether a speed of the motor vehicle indicates a stopping condition of the motor vehicle; detecting whether at least one vehicle operating condition indicating an imminent unintentional acceleration of the vehicle exists; and triggering a fault response if (i) the vehicle is in the stopping condition and (ii) the at least one vehicle operating condition indicating an imminent unintentional acceleration of the vehicle exists.
