  • Publication number: 20120008136
    Abstract: A geodesic measurement system having a geodesic measurement device. A unique identification code is allocated to each of the target objects, such that the target objects can be differentiated from one another based on the identification code. The measurement device has a distance and angle measurement functionality for determining the position of the target objects. The measurement device is designed for emission of the beam such that the identification code of a target object that is searched for from the target object volume can be modulated to the beam as a code to be searched for. The target unit has an evaluation component connected to the detector for inspecting correspondence between the code modulated to the beam and the own identification code of the target unit and a transmission component for transmission of a reactive confirmation signal to the geodesic measurement device that takes place upon correspondence being determined.

  • Publication number: 20110057645
    Abstract: Method in which the current is measured inside an integrated PWM control circuit using at least one A/D converter which is likewise integrated in the circuit is described. The PWM controller is provided for the purpose of driving inductive loads and is arranged, in particular, in an electronic circuit of an electronic controller for a motor vehicle braking system. Before determining the actual current of the PWM controller, which is determined using the at least one A/D converter, the current is smoothed using a low-pass filter. A circuit arrangement for carrying out the above method and its use in electronic motor vehicle control systems is also described herein.

  • Patent number: 7792606
    Abstract: A partial surface of a total surface, divided into several partial surfaces, is allocated to one of several mobile units by determining the partial surface of the total surface and allocating one of the several mobile units with a reservation. The mobile unit transmits allocation information indicating the allocation of the partial surface. The reservation is lifted and the allocation of the partial surface is validated when the one of the several mobile units receives no allocation rejection information from at least one of the other mobile units, indicating a rejection of the allocation of the partial surface. If rejection information is received, the reservation is lifted and the allocation of the partial surface is invalidated.

  • Publication number: 20100113215
    Abstract: A method for operating a vehicle brake system and a corresponding vehicle brake system, particularly for motor vehicles. The vehicle wheels of the motor vehicle associated with an axle are at least partially driven by ‘WV’ an electric motor that can be operated as a generator during regeneration of braking energy, thus exerting a braking regeneration el torque on the respective axle. To prevent overbraking on the rear axle, the regeneration torque acting on at least one rear axle (HA) is limited such that the slippage present on the at least one vehicle wheel of the rear axle (HA) does not exceed or only negligibly exceeds a first slippage threshold individually associated with the respective vehicle wheel.

  • Patent number: 6941191
    Abstract: A method for automatic, decentralized coordination of the movement paths of mobile robots in order to prevent collisions and to detect and resolve mutual blockings. According to the method, a robot receives position information from other robots and establishes a coordinating connection with another robot if the position falls below a minimum allowable distance. One of the robots is then chosen as coordinator and the other robot is chosen as partner. The coordinator initiates an algorithm for the prevention of collisions, wherein a time sequence diagram is determined for the motion path segments of the coordinator and the partner. A robot for detecting robots that are mutually blocking one another in a circuit initiates an algorithm for detecting blocking if the robot has not been given authorization to execute its next motion path segment. An algorithm for resolving the blocking is initiated if robots mutually blocking each other in a circuit are detected by the detecting robot.
