  • Patent number: 10097370
    Abstract: The present disclosure may be embodied in a method for programming a sensor network having a plurality of sensors including: providing a first association between a first parameter and a second parameter, wherein the first parameter represents a sensor identification and the second parameter represents an installation location or a system function of the respective sensor; providing a second association between the second parameter and a third parameter representing prescribed operating data for the respective sensor; ascertaining a third association on the basis of the first association and the second association, the third association between the first parameter and the third parameter, and programming the plurality of sensors on the basis of the third association.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8398149
    Abstract: The invention relates to a door of a motor vehicle having an outer panel (1), an inner panel (2), a plate-shaped member (6), which is arranged on the door inside, for various add-on and mounting units, and reinforcement regions (14 to 17) for door functional elements and an installed stiffening member (3, 4) as a side-impact protector. In order to optimize the ratio of stiffness to side-impact protection of the door and to optimize the production expenditure of the door, the inner panel (2) and the stiffening member (3, 4) are formed as an integral frame-shaped component (5) which includes the reinforcement regions (14 to 17) from high-strength to superhigh strength steel sheet, and that are hot-worked. In order to be able to install the add-on and mounting units with sufficient mounting length, the plate-shaped member (6) is fastened to the inner panel (2) by means of a holding frame (7) which provides the desired mounting depth.
