  • Method and device for operating a hybrid drive system
    Patent number: 9102332
    Abstract: In a method for operating a hybrid drive system having multiple drive units each having a drive motor and a motor control unit, the motor control units are activatable in order to request partial drive torques from the drive units according to a drive strategy. At least one of the motor control units is configured to execute an adaptation function when an adaptation function condition is present. The drive strategy is selected as a function of a frequency of an execution of the adaptation function in the motor control unit.

  • Method for ascertaining information about a device exposed to a temperature
    Patent number: 7628535
    Abstract: A method for ascertaining information about a device that has been exposed to a temperature, permitting a simple and reliable means of ascertaining information about the aging of the device. The temperature of the device is determined. Depending on the temperature or the temperature change achieved by the device, at least one counter is incremented. Information about the aging of the device is ascertained as a function of the counter reading achieved.

  • Functional test process for a mechanical switching element
    Patent number: 6169405
    Abstract: In the functional test process for a mechanical switching element, particularly a trigger in a high-voltage power switch, a coil core (2) is set in motion by the magnetic action of a current flowing through a coil (1). The electrical pulse is cut off as soon as the derivative of the measured current characteristic reaches a particular valve. This makes it possible to stop the movement of the core (2) and the plunger (4) without triggering the power switch.
