Abstract: In a method for operating a heatable exhaust-gas sensor, which supplies at least one measuring signal and in which a sensor heater is operated using a pulse-width modulated operating voltage, the detection of the at least one measuring signal has priority over the supply of the pulse-width modulated operating voltage for sensor heater, and at least during a predefined time window in which the measuring signal is detected, the supply of the pulse-width modulated operating voltage for the sensor heater is suppressed using a blocking signal.

Abstract: Electronic circuit arrangement for processing binary input values x?X of a word width n (n>1), with a first, second and third combinatory circuit components configured to process the binary input values x to form first, second and third binary output values. The arrangement further includes a majority voter element configured to receive the binary output values and provide a majority signal based on the received binary output values. The second and third combinatory circuit components are designed, as regards faults during processing of the binary input values x in the first combinatory circuit component, to process binary input values of a true non-empty partial quantity X1 of the quantity of binary input values X in a fault-tolerant manner and process binary input values of a further non-empty partial quantity X2 of the quantity of binary input values X different from the true non-empty partial quantity X1 in a fault-intolerant manner.

Abstract: A device and a method for bidirectional single-wire data transmission of data information between an electronic control unit and at least one peripheral unit. A predefined constant voltage and/or a predefined constant current is applied to a driver device of the electronic control unit to produce voltage-coded and/or current-coded information. The voltage-coded and/or current-coded information is transmitted from the driver device of the electronic control unit to a driver device 30 of the peripheral unit via a single-wire line. At least the driver logic of the driver device and/or the communication logic of the peripheral unit are triggered and powered through the current flow. Information occurring on the peripheral unit is current-coded and/or voltage coded due to the triggering thereof.

Abstract: A device and a method are described for bidirectional single-wire data transmission of information between a control unit and at least one peripheral unit, having the following steps: generating a first current flow from the control unit to the peripheral unit during first time slots via a single-wire line to transmit voltage-coded or current-coded information from the control unit to the peripheral unit; and/or generating a second current flow from the peripheral unit to the control unit during second time slots via the single-wire line to upload voltage-coded or current-coded information from the peripheral unit to the control unit; the first and second time slots being implemented so they do not mutually overlap; and/or generating, in the first and/or second time slots, additional information to be transmitted and/or uploaded, which is transmitted as digital or analog signals by modulating the current or the voltage of the single-wire line and is analyzed in the control unit or the peripheral unit.

Abstract: The present invention provides a new drilling tool useful in machining hydraulic port seals for fluid power ports. The drilling tool drills the port hole to size in a solid material for the minor thread diameter in combination with forming the port in a single operation. The drilling tool has a tool holder having a rotational axis, a first drilling insert having cutting surfaces on a first side and a mounting surface on a second side, at least one second drilling insert having a predetermined cutting surface portion and a mounting portion which is mounted on the holder at a location from the rotational axis of the holder. The at least one second drilling insert has first and second portions which engage and machine a work piece in a drilling operation to form a spot face and a seal form.

Abstract: The invention relates to a switching network which operates in accordance with the asynchronous transfer mode and which comprises a switching unit (1), which is provided to change selected contents in the header field of a cell.

Abstract: A local area ring network operating in the asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) has a plurality of stations and network interfaces (transceivers), each network interface having a send and a receive ring connection. Setting up a call, exchange of information during the call and call clear-down are effected digitally via the exchange of ATM cells in whose header logic trunk identifiers (virtual path identifier VPI and virtual channel identifier VCI) are stored. At least one network interface includes a converter for at least partly and reversibly converting available data bytes in the header of the ATM cell into an identifier specific to the network. A header translation table in the converter is updated during the call set-up or call clear-down phase.

The base radio station (1) and at least one mobile terminal (2) are provided for transmitting packets containing data of an asynchronous service in the frame-synchronized signal. The base radio station (1) is provided for defining for each respective frame a number of asynchronous channels used for transmitting the packets.

The switch (11) is arranged for relaying a user cell containing information relating to the user from a receiving ring line (16) to the transmitting ring line (19) and/or to the station (10) or from a station (10) to the transmitting ring line (19) in response to status information.

Abstract: A multi-processor system that is useful for controlling processes of motor vehicles. The system having at least two processors that jointly access the same memory. The system memory is divided into at least two sectors. A first processor accesses one memory sector only in the read mode and a second processor accesses it only in the write mode. The second processor accesses the other memory sector only in the read mode and the first processor accesses it only in the write mode. The processors are synchronized in such a way that the processors access the memory in the same way at the same time.
