  • Patent number: 10626968
    Abstract: A motor vehicle drivetrain features an input shaft, an output shaft, a continuously variable transmission for coupling the input shaft to the output shaft with a variable transmission ratio between the input shaft and the output shaft, and a bypass transmission with at least one bypass gearing, which has a fixed transmission ratio, in order to couple the input shaft to the output shaft. A value of a transmission ratio of the bypass gearing is less than or equal to half the sum of a value of the maximum forward motion and a value of the minimum forward motion of the variable transmission ratio between the input shaft and the output shaft driven of the continuously variable transmission and/or less than or equal to 1.0. The bypass transmission is configured for driving the motor vehicle with a driving speed of at least 50 km/h or 31 mph.

  • Publication number: 20120198362
    Abstract: In a method for automatically identifying at least one control element in an application view of an application a) at least one recognition pattern for structural and/or graphical features of the at least one control element is pre-stored in an object template, b) a recognition means generates structural and/or graphical data from the application view and examines the data according to the at least one recognition pattern, c) in dependence on the examination a measure for the recognition certainty of the at least one recognition pattern is determined, and d) in dependence on the obtained recognition certainty the status of the at least one control element is determined as “identified” or “not identified”.
