  • Publication number: 20220178704
    Abstract: In a method for predicting future driving conditions for a vehicle (1), sensor data (2) are gathered while the vehicle (1) is traveling on a route. A position of the vehicle (1) is also determined. The gathered data are associated with the determined vehicle position. A map (9) is created depending on the associated data. When the route is traveled again, the map is updated in real time depending on associated data from the repeated traveling. Finally, a prediction of future driving conditions is obtained based on the determined vehicle position and the map (9).

  • Patent number: 10202199
    Abstract: A method and a device for monitoring a deviation of a first rotational speed of a first drive unit for an aircraft from a second rotational speed of an at least second drive unit of an aircraft. The monitoring of the deviation of the first rotational speed of the first drive unit from the second rotational speed of the at least second drive unit is carried out as a function of a comparison of a detection of a first event of the first drive unit to a detection of a second event of the at least second drive unit.

  • Patent number: 6415655
    Abstract: A method of synchronization or a cylinder coordination to a crankshaft position in a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine with a crankshaft which rotates twice per working cycle, comprising the steps of supplying an output signal with a crankshaft transmitter, which per revolution of the crankshaft supplies a reference signal associated with an upper dead point of a cylinder, evaluating the output signal of the crankshaft transmitter by a control device for determining a rotary speed of the crankshaft and for forming injection signals, performing a preliminary synchronization after a detection of the reference signal and releasing a probe injection for an associated cylinder, verifying the preliminary synchronization in the case of a rotary speed increase or a rotary speed acceleration, in the event of a failing rotary speed increase, performing a new preliminary synchronization which is offset by a predetermined angle to release an injection for a cylinder presumably in an upper dead point, and verifyin
