Abstract: In a method for checking the proper functioning of a component in a vehicle by evaluating the system state of the component with the aid of a sensor, a state variable is measured first and then the measured state variable is examined for at least one characteristic feature that is descriptive of the system state of the component.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a force measuring instrument, having a carrier plate (3), at least one magnet (5), and at least one magnetically sensitive element (6). A tongue element (4) protrudes at least partly from the carrier plate (3) and is joined to a plate element (2). Between the tongue element (4) and the carrier plate (3), an air gap (7) is formed, in which the magnetically sensitive element (6) is positioned. The force to be measured, delivered via the plate element (2), leads to a relative motion between the end, toward the air gap, of the tongue element (4) and the carrier plate (3). This causes a change in the magnetic field geometry in the air gap (7). The present invention also relates to a method for detecting a force.

Abstract: A brake system in which a hydraulic fluid can be conveyed from an accumulator via a valve into individual wheel brake cylinders, the hydraulic fluid being conveyed by a pump into the accumulator, having a pressure sensor arranged on the outlet side of the pump for detecting pressure pulsations in the hydraulic fluid arising in the operation of the pump and having an arrangement for evaluating the pressure pulsations in order to obtain a measuring signal for controlling and/or monitoring the pump.

Abstract: A device for the serial transmission of data between at least two terminals which are interconnected via a two-wire line. Each terminal has a bus-coupling circuit having at least one transmitting section or one receiving section. The transmitting section has at least two driver circuits which are each connected to one line of the two-wire line. A resistor network is switched between each driver circuit and line. During a data transmission, the transmitting section transmits complementary signals to the lines. The receiving section has a comparator which is connected at its one input to a line of the two-wire line and which is supplied at its second input with a specific reference potential. The output signals from the comparators are evaluated by an evaluation circuit. The reference potentials of the comparators and the resistor networks are designed to allow both comparators to emit a switching signal, in dependence upon the transmitted bit conditions, in the case of an error-free operation.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a control system in combination with an internal combustion engine and/or a motor vehicle especially in connection with the air metered to the engine. An electrically actuable element for influencing an operating variable of the engine and/or of the vehicle is present. A control unit acts on the electrically actuable element by means of a pulse-shaped signal. At least one changeable parameter of the pulse-shaped signal is changed during a pulse dependent upon actual measured values.
