  • Publication number: 20200133819
    Abstract: A command map GUI that illustrates command usage patterns of a first entity and/or a comparison between the first entity and a second entity. A server receives and stores command usage data from a plurality of clients, each client executing a software application that enables a set of commands. A client displays the GUI based on command usage data received from the server. The GUI displays a circle chart comprising a plurality of segments representing various command categories, each segment including a wedge that represents the amount of usage of the corresponding command category. The GUI also displays a plurality of data points, each data point representing a command, wherein the distance from the center of the circle chart represents the amount of usage of the corresponding command. The GUI may display a certification and/or an unused command recommended for a user based on command usage patterns of the user.

  • Patent number: 6922996
    Abstract: An electrical booster in an internal combustion engine with an exhaust gas turbocharger is activated so that the electrical booster is connected with the minimum possible power consumption. The connection of the electric booster depends on the power balance, the electric booster being activated when the instantaneously available compressor power of the exhaust gas turbocharger is insufficient to provide the necessary power.

  • Patent number: 6421625
    Abstract: After the start of an internal combustion engine, a check is made to see whether a positive change in a measurement signal is established. A positive change is established if the measurement signal lies below a predetermined threshold value when the internal combustion engine is started. A fault entry is made if, within a predetermined time period, the positive change in the measurement signal, expressed as the difference between the measurement signal when the internal combustion engine is started and a present value of the measurement signal when the time period has elapsed, does not reach an expected value.
