  • Patent number: 11970170
    Abstract: A drive system for an axle of a motor vehicle can be controlled. The drive system can have at least one drive unit driving a drive shaft, a first output shaft, and a second output shaft, as well as first and second clutches connecting the drive shaft to the first and second output shafts, respectively. A control unit of the drive system controls the clutches to operate at least at certain operating points with a micro-slip control in which a speed differential between the drive shaft and the output shaft of >0 revolutions per minute (RPM) and <50 RPM is set for the respective clutch. A travel state of the motor vehicle can be detected, including detecting: traveling straight ahead and cornering in the pull mode, and a control strategy can be selected and applied for each clutch, wherein the control strategy is different for different travel states.

  • Patent number: 11822734
    Abstract: A display keyboard video mouse (KVM) switch detects cables connected to ports of the display and compares the cable types against a configuration table to select a configuration user interface for presentation at the display retrieved from non-transitory memory of the display by a processing resource of the KVM switch. As an end user adjusts the cables connected to the display KVM switch, logic executing on the display adjusts the presentation of the configuration user interface to guide connections with plural information handling systems based upon the cable types and to confirm correct association of keyboard and mouse inputs through the KVM switch with each information handling system.
