  • Model calculation unit, control unit and method for calibrating a data-based function model
    Patent number: 10146248
    Abstract: A model calculation unit for calculating a data-based function model in a control unit is provided, the model calculation unit having a processor core which includes: a multiplication unit for carrying out a multiplication on the hardware side; an addition unit for carrying out an addition on the hardware side; an exponential function unit for calculating an exponential function on the hardware side; a memory in the form of a configuration register for storing hyperparameters and node data of the data-based function model to be calculated; and a logic circuit for controlling, on the hardware side, the calculation sequence in the multiplication unit, the addition unit, the exponential function unit and the memory in order to ascertain the data-based function model.

  • Control device and method for calculating an output parameter for a controller
    Patent number: 10013658
    Abstract: A control device in a vehicle includes a unit for calculating, during operation of the vehicle, on the basis of at least one input variable ascertained during operation, at least one output variable for a control system of functions of the vehicle. The control device performs the calculation of the output variables using a Bayesian regression of training values ascertained, before operation, for the output variable and the input variable.
