  • Publication number: 20110211498
    Abstract: A communication method for a radio network, comprising at least two subscribers, wherein a radio channel is used in both directions among the subscribers, but only consecutively in the one and then in the other direction, i.e., not simultaneously in both directions. In accordance with the invention, the subscribers are each specified transmission times in a time period, at which either subscriber is permitted to send a user telegram to the other subscriber, where a detection signal is embedded at the beginning of each user telegram, or such a detection signal precedes the user telegram, and the embedded detection signal is used to notify the receiving subscriber of the assignment of the radio channel.

  • Patent number: 7365546
    Abstract: A measuring device and a measuring method for non-destructive testing of an ignitor installed in a subassembly, particularly of a motor vehicle. The device and measuring method generate a measuring current with a predefined value, check-test the predefined value of the measuring current while bypassing the ignitor, apply the check-tested measuring current to the subassembly with the installed ignitor for a predefined time interval, determine the internal resistance of the subassembly with the installed ignitor, and derive a test signal indicating the installation condition based on a comparison with a setpoint value.
