Abstract: In order to improve colour quality control of paint coatings, described herein is a colour quality control server that is configured to provide a software distribution model, i.e. Software as a Service (SaaS). With the colour quality control server, the capability provided to a user is to use a collection of (web-)services which are responsible for web-based colour quality control running on a cloud infrastructure. These (web-)services are accessible from various client devices through a thin client interface such as a web browser, a mobile app, or a desktop app.

Abstract: A transmitter of a publisher device transmits data to a server, and a receiver of a subscriber device receives the data. A publish/subscribe middleware is utilized to provide to-be-sent data with a data identifier and for selection of to-be-received data based on the data identifier.

Abstract: An exhaust gas sensor for detecting a measurement gas component, having a ceramic sensor element fixed in a housing, and a double-walled protective pipe having outer and inner protective sleeves, the inner sleeve enclosing a gas chamber into which the sensor element extends with a segment at the measurement gas side, in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the sensor, and an annular chamber being formed between the outer and inner protective sleeves. The outer sleeve has a cladding surface having at least one opening configured as a swirling element, through which measurement gas can move into the annular chamber with rotation about a longitudinal axis of the sensor, and the inner sleeve has at least one opening that is adjusted and/or functionally optimized, as to a sensitive region of the sensor element, through which opening the measurement gas can move from the annular chamber into the gas chamber.

Abstract: A gas sensor for determining at least one constituent or at least one property of a measuring gas, in particular, of an exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine, including a sensor element. An outer protective tube of the gas sensor includes at least one inlet opening for measuring gas to enter into an outer chamber, the at least one inlet opening includes at least one swirl element for forming a vortex about the longitudinal direction in the outer chamber. The outer chamber protrudes distally beyond a housing in the longitudinal direction by an outer chamber longitudinal extent and an inner chamber protrudes distally beyond the housing in the longitudinal direction by an inner chamber longitudinal extent, and the outer chamber longitudinal extent being at least twice as large as the inner chamber longitudinal extent.

Abstract: A method for simulating a collision situation between two vehicles for testing a driver assistance system in a driving simulator or in a Vehicle-in-the-Loop scenario. A fellow vehicle simulated on a simulation computer is assigned a trajectory that passes through a point of collision of a planned collision between the fellow vehicle and an ego vehicle that is not controlled by the simulation computer. The driver assistance system is equipped to exchange data with the simulated environment in real time and to influence the driving behavior of the ego vehicle in a collision situation. A target distance to the point of collision is determined for the fellow vehicle that the fellow vehicle would have to have in order to arrive at the point of collision simultaneously or substantially simultaneously with the ego vehicle, under the assumption that it travels at the specified arrival speed.

Abstract: A method and data processing system for linking a plurality of data structures of a data processing system with a plurality of elements of a man-machine interface (MMI) are provided. The method includes the steps: provision of an MMI with a plurality of elements, arranging a plurality of data structures in a list, selection of an element of the MMI by a user, automatic linking of a first data structure from the list with the selected element of the MMI, and setting the beginning of the list to the data structure that follows the previously linked data structure in the list. The steps of selection of an element of the MMI by a user, automatic linking of a first data structure from the list with the selected element of the MMI, and setting the beginning of the list to the data structure are carried out repeatedly.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for implementing a V2X application on target hardware having a radio adapter is provided. The V2X application is modeled in the form of a block diagram, wherein received telematics data of surrounding objects are recorded in an LDM object list. Detected telematics data of surrounding objects are recorded in a sensor object list, and, by comparing the LDM object list with the sensor object list, a telematics data comparison block determines differential surrounding objects that are recorded only in the sensor object list. For at least one differential surrounding object, a proxy V2X message with the telematics data of this differential surrounding object is created, and the block diagram is translated into a program that can be executed on the target hardware. The program is transferred to the target hardware and executed there, and the proxy message is sent by the target hardware over the radio adapter.

Abstract: A computer-based system and method for assigning at least one signal of a symbol-based program to at least one I/O functionality of a target hardware unit is provided. A modeling tool has a symbol-based program with the signal that is to be assigned. The signal to be assigned of the symbol-based program and the at least one I/O functionality of the target hardware unit are specified in a configuration tool. Using the modeling tool, an I/O functionality of the target hardware unit is assigned in the symbol-based program to the signal that is to be assigned. A signal assignment information item is generated in the modeling tool from this assignment. The signal assignment information item is transmitted from the modeling tool to the configuration tool, and the configuration tool takes over the assignment to the I/O functionality of the target hardware unit of the signal to be assigned of the symbol-based program according to the signal assignment information item.
