Patent number: 11235764Abstract: A driver assistance system is provided in a motor vehicle, which driver assistance system executes at least active transverse guidance interventions. The driver assistance system can be activated while decoupled from the activation of a longitudinal control system but can also be active both, with and without longitudinal control, and includes both a traffic jam assistance sub-function and a track guiding assistant sub-function. The two sub-functions can be jointly activated and deactivated by a single on-/off-button. The driver assistance system is characterized by a special combination of the sub-functions track guiding assistance and traffic jam assistance. They each take turns depending on the presence of conditions, which are defined differently for each sub-function.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2017Date of Patent: February 1, 2022Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Andreas Bogner, Andreas Mueller, Daniel Simmermacher, Hans-Peter Hank, Manfred Paul, Martin Froehlich, Mehdi Farid, Nico Kaempchen, Norman Hauke, Thomas Barmeyer

Patent number: 11216407Abstract: A single communication interface between a master device and at least one slave device and a method with internal/external addressing mode using the single communication interface. In the single communication interface between a master device and at least one slave device, the master device includes a master interface and the slave device comprises a slave interface and a slave bus-system, whereas the slave interface is directly connected to the slave bus-system, wherein the master interface and the slave interface communicate on a packet based protocol by an internal and external addressing mode inside the slave interface, whereas the addressing mode, data transfer direction and data address location are coded by the packet based protocol inside a first 32-bit word of each transmission between the master device and slave device over the single communication interface.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2020Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: SHENZHEN GOODIX TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.Inventors: Markus Krause, Martin Froehlich

Patent number: 11026266Abstract: The disclosure discloses a method for a joint multi-carrier operation of narrowband Internet-of-Things (NB-IoT) in both licensed and unlicensed frequency spectrum. The object of the disclosure to provide a method that uses the existing technologies of multi-carrier operation, but can also handle and use ISM bands (unlicensed bands) and thereby all regulatory requirements are observed, will be solved by a method for a joint multi-carrier operation of narrowband Internet-of-Things (NB-IoT) in both licensed and unlicensed frequency spectrum by extending the existing NB-IoT regulations standard in licensed spectrum by additional uplink and/or downlink NB-IoT carriers operating in unlicensed spectrum, wherein additional data depending on a scheduled medium access procedure is added to configuration data, which is broadcasted between a base station and a UE for ensuring regulatory compliance during operation on both the UE and base station side.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2019Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: SHENZHEN GOODIX TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.Inventors: Mathias Kurth, Martin Froehlich

Publication number: 20200089507Abstract: The application discloses a low power embedded device, which uses a write-once register to speed up the secure boot from sleep states of said device. The object of the application to find a secure storage of the reference hash in low power embedded devices, which can be stored over sleep cycles of the device, and updates of the firmware of such devices are possible, and an unauthorized access to the storage must be prohibited will be solved by a low power embedded device comprising a special-purpose computing system, means for storing firmware of the device and a bootloader for verifying the integrity and authenticity of the firmware, whereas the bootloader checks a firmware hash of the firmware against a reference hash, wherein the reference hash is stored in a write-once register, which is part of an always on power domain of the embedded device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2019Publication date: March 19, 2020Inventors: MARTIN FROEHLICH, MATHIAS KURTH

Patent number: 9892144Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for serializing data. A computing device can generate a serialization buffer (SB). The SB can specify fields storing data and corresponding offsets, with an offset referring to a location in the SB storing the corresponding field. The SB can access a designated field in the SB by determining a designated offset for the designated field, determining a starting location based on the designated offset, and accessing data at the starting location. A distinct copy of the SB can be stored on a storage device.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2016Date of Patent: February 13, 2018Assignee: Google LLCInventors: Wouter van Oortmerssen, Martin Froehlich

Patent number: 7062372Abstract: A method and an arrangement for controlling the drive unit of a vehicle make possible the jolt-free enablement of a rapid actuating path (5) for the conversion of a desired value for an output quantity of the drive unit. The desired value for the output quantity of the drive unit is pregiven. Depending upon the operating state of the drive unit, an actual value for the output quantity is caused to track the desired value via a slow actuating path (1) or the rapid actuating path (5). With a transition from the slow actuating path (1) to the rapid actuating path (5), the desired value, starting from the wanted value, is first set equal to the actual value and thereafter is limited in its change and is again brought back to the wanted value.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2003Date of Patent: June 13, 2006Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Dirk Hartmann, Martin Froehlich, Gholamabas Esteghlal
