Publication number: 20090292841Abstract: Networks on board of vehicles have to provide a rapid data throughput, and be still inexpensive and electromagnetically compatible (EMC). An interface (100, 110) comprising at least one physical layer and a method for transmitting at least one bit to at least one two-wire bus (10, 12), in particular to at least one C[ontroller]A[rea]N[etwork] bus, for example based on the ISO 11898 standard, are disclosed. It is proposed that the transmission takes place on the basis of the L[ocal]I[nterconnect]N[etwork] protocol. The same technology can be implanted in a device or a circuit arrangement.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2005Publication date: November 26, 2009Applicant: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS ELECTRONICS N.V.Inventors: Marcus Weser, Matthias Muth, Thomas Suermann

Patent number: 7119535Abstract: What is described is a configuration for determining the position of a body along a movement direction, wherein the body is in the form of a magnetized encoder with two magnetic tracks extending, on one surface of the body, along the movement direction, at least essentially in parallel with one another, wherein, at specified intervals along the movement direction, a first of the magnetic tracks exhibits magnetized sections in which the magnetic north poles are aligned so as to be at least largely coincident in a magnetization direction that is essentially at right-angles to the surface of the body, and wherein, at intervals specified to coincide with the above-mentioned intervals along the movement coordinate, the second of the magnetic tracks exhibits magnetized sections in which the magnetic south poles are aligned so as to be at least largely coincident in the said magnetization direction, and wherein, in each case, a magnetized section of one of the magnetic tracks is located at least largely centrally inType: GrantFiled: June 13, 2003Date of Patent: October 10, 2006Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Stefan Butzmann, Stefan Pusch, Michael Hinz, Gunnar Schulz, Marcus Weser, Thomas Stork

Patent number: 6693423Abstract: An arrangement for angular measurement includes an angle sensor that supplies sensor signals phase shifted 90° with respect to each other and having actual amplitude values. A signal-processing device provides expected amplitude values of the sensor signals and graded limit values for a deviation between the expected amplitude values and the actual amplitude values of the sensor signals; compares the expected amplitude values with the actual amplitude values of the sensor signals; determines a deviation between the expected amplitude values and the actual amplitude values, and a range of values in which the determined deviation occurs; and generates an error signal including reliability class information about the range of values in which the determined deviation occurs. As a result, monitoring and evaluation of the measured sensor signals with accuracy and reliability is possible.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2002Date of Patent: February 17, 2004Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventor: Marcus Weser

Patent number: 5898388Abstract: A rolling contact bearing with rotational speed measuring device, in particular a wheel bearing for motor vehicles for telemetric transmission of energy and signal between bearing and environment, insensitive to tolerances of the bearing and its surrounding parts, with simple and cost-effective construction and small dimensions. A first telemetry unit is integrated in the inter-ring seal. It comprises pulse transmitter, rotational speed sensor, telemetry electronics and a miniature coil, which is inductively coupled with a further telemetry unit, which is fitted axially outside the bearing, and which supplies the first telemetry unit with energy and receives its signals.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 1998Date of Patent: April 27, 1999Assignee: FAG Automobiltechnik AGInventors: Heinrich Hofmann, Rainer Breitenbach, Harald Merklein, Peter Niebling, Roland Langer, Josef Binder, Marcus Weser
