  • Patent number: 11190123
    Abstract: A method for operating an electric machine for a vehicle. A target torque of the electric machine is regulated during a driving process depending on a detected time-dependent rotational speed of the electric machine. In the process, the detected rotational speed is differentiated by means of a first high-pass filter over time, the detected rotational speed is then differentiated again over time in a limited manner to positive rotational speed values and using a second high-pass filter, and the target torque is regulated depending on the output value of the second high-pass filter.

  • Publication number: 20200169206
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating an electric machine (2) for a vehicle (3). A target torque of the electric machine (2) is regulated during a driving process depending on a detected time-dependent rotational speed of the electric machine (2). In the process, the detected rotational speed is differentiated by means of a first high-pass filter (5) over time, the detected rotational speed is then differentiated again over time in a limited manner to positive rotational speed values and using a second high-pass filter (8), and the target torque is regulated depending on the output value of the second high-pass filter (8).

  • Patent number: 9608544
    Abstract: The invention relates to an energy supply system having an energy storage device. The energy storage device has a plurality of energy storage modules that are serially connected in at least one energy supply branch, each comprising an energy storage cell module having at least one energy storage cell, and a coupling device having coupling elements configured to selectively switch the energy storage cell module into the respective energy supply branch, or to circumvent same, and comprising a plurality of driver devices, each dedicated to one of the energy storage modules, and coupled to one of the energy storage modules, and which are configured to actuate the coupling elements of the coupling devices according to a driver signal.

  • Patent number: 5144915
    Abstract: A control system controls an operating parameter of an internal combustion engine. The control system includes an electrically operated actuator for acting on the operating parameter to be controlled and a control unit for adjusting the actuator so as to cause the operating parameter to assume a pregiven value. The control unit has an integral component for carrying out an integration and a proportional component for carrying out a proportional amplification operation. The rate of change of the operating parameter is controlled to a pregiven value when pregiven conditions are present by intervening in the integral operation and/or the proportional amplification operation carried out by the control unit.

  • Patent number: 5091698
    Abstract: A circuit for measuring the internal resistance of a lambda probe 10 is provided with a junction device 16 for selectively loading the probe. Loading the probe via a junction device affords the advantage that an internal-resistance measurement can be effected in a simple manner within a very wide range of from several ohms up to several megaohms.
