Patent number: 11467012Abstract: Recalibrating a micromechanical sensor. The sensor is assigned a signal processing device for correcting the sensor signal on the basis of at least one previously determined initial trim value that is selected such that, given a defined sensor excitation, a production-related deviation of the sensor signal from a target sensor signal is compensated. The method for recalibrating the sensor includes: applying a defined electrical test excitation signal to the sensor structure, acquiring the corresponding sensor response signal, ascertaining a trim correction value for the at least one initial trim value on the basis of a previously determined relation between the sensor response signal and the trim correction value, and determining at least one current trim value for correcting the sensor signal, the determination of the at least one current trim value taking place on the basis of the at least one initial trim value and the ascertained trim correction value.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2019Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Andrea Visconti, Matthias Meier, Ruslan Khalilyulin, Thomas Zebrowski, Wolfram Geiger

Publication number: 20220239091Abstract: A method is for connecting a capacitive load assembly to a DC grid. The load assembly is connectable to a supply potential of the DC grid by a control unit via a controllable switch element. The controllable switch element is periodically activated and deactivated by the control unit. The level of the current pulses flowing through the controllable switch element during the respective activation phase of the controllable switch element is detected by means of a current measuring device. The development of the level of at least two current pulses immediately following one another over time is evaluated by the control unit. The controllable switch element is additionally periodically activated and deactivated by the control unit if a specified change in the development of the level of the at least two current pulses immediately following one another over time is ascertained.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2020Publication date: July 28, 2022Applicant: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Klaus BEHRINGER, Wolfgang FEIL, Peter KALUZA, Matthias MEIER
