  • Patent number: 7548834
    Abstract: A method for processing sensor data which are transmitted by at least one asynchronous sensor at a transfer rate, the sensor data being read at a predefined sampling rate, a mean value being computed from a predefined number of read sensor data, wherein the sampling ratio between the sampling rate and transfer rate is estimated for averaging, the number of transmitted data values and the number of sampling pulses within a predefined time span being ascertained and correlated to each other for estimating the sampling ratio.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7523019
    Abstract: A method for processing sensor data which are transmitted by at least one asynchronous sensor at a transfer rate into a buffer memory, the sensor data being read from the buffer memory at a predefined sampling rate, and a mean value being computed from a predefined number of read sensor data. The transfer rate to sampling rate ratio is selected in such a way that the number of sensor data averaged within a sampling period is n or (n+1), the mean values of the read sensor data being computed using a fixed synchronized phase shift with respect to the sampling rate, which is determined in averaging (n+1) sensor data, n being a natural number greater than or equal to two.
