  • Patent number: 10385757
    Abstract: A cooling device for an internal combustion engine is provided. During assembly, the radiator and the cooler are connected by first connecting the radiator and the cooler via a lower plug-in connection as a result of a vertical joining motion and then bringing the radiator and the cooler into a slightly tilted position. The position is achieved via limited swiveling mobility of the lower plug-in connection, whereby the required degree of freedom is created so that the required distance of the radiator and of the cooler for attaching the upper first plug-in connection can be set. The upper-first plug-in connection is then attached in a final assembly step via an attachment device that is substantially orthogonal to the plane of the cooler. The limited mobility ensures that thermal or production-related tolerances due to the different operating temperatures of the radiator and the cooler are compensated during operation.

  • Patent number: 9600023
    Abstract: A method for providing a timestamp in a real-time system, whereby the real-time system has an FPGA and a CPU, which cooperate with one another, and at least one register, which contains a system time, is implemented in the FPGA. The method includes the steps of providing a CPU counter for the system time, which is driven by a clock signal of the CPU, providing a synchronization counter in the CPU, whereby the synchronization counter is driven by a clock signal of the CPU, reading of the counter for providing the system time by a real-time application, querying the synchronization counter in the real-time application, and synchronizing the counter with the system time in the real-time application, when the synchronization counter outputs a value that corresponds to more than a predefined time period since the last synchronization of the CPU counter with the system time.
