  • Monitoring computer in a control device
    Patent number: 9068527
    Abstract: A monitoring computer for monitoring a processor, on which processor a computing element is executed. The computing element essentially includes three program modules by which the performance of the motor vehicle is influenced. The processor includes a functional computer and a monitoring computer that is physically independent of the functional computer, wherein the monitoring computer includes two monitoring units that are independent of each other.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: June 30, 2015
    Assignee: Conti Temic Microelectronic GmbH
    Inventors: Malte Jacobi, Edwin Böhm
  • Motor vehicle monitoring apparatus and associated method for controlling the electric current of an actuator
    Patent number: 8589016
    Abstract: A motor vehicle monitoring apparatus has a controller as a component of a control loop for controlling the electric current of an actuator. The vehicle power supply system voltage of a motor vehicle voltage source is applied to the actuator. A correction unit is provided in the forward path of the control loop between the controller and a subordinate actuator element of the control loop and applies the actuation signal output by the controller with a correction factor which is proportional to the reciprocal value of the instantaneous vehicle power supply system voltage.
