Abstract: Errors which may be detected by an error detection unit may occur during execution of a computer program which runs on a computer system and includes at least one run-time object. In order to handle a detected error particularly flexibly and to keep the computer system available as much as possible, an error handling routine is selected from a pre-selectable set of error handling routines as a function of an identifier assigned to the run-time object and the selected error handling routine is executed.

Abstract: In a process for receiving a broadband electromagnetic signal, the receiving spectrum is divided into n partial spectrums (n>1), which are subjected to parallel further processing in n channels. The resulting n partial signals are then demodulated into the base band, digitized by n equal-type analog-to-digital converters, and spectrally transformed by a fast Fourier Transform. Interfering edge effects at the transition to the respectively adjacent channel are compensated by amplitude and phase correction of the n partial signals for compensating. Finally, the partial spectrums of the n partial signals are integrated to form a total spectrum in the frequency domain.

Abstract: A method is provided for verifying plotting results when multiple signals of the same frequency have been detected from different directions. Signal characteristics of the signals detected from different directions are compared so that, on the basis of the signal comparison, a decision may be made as to whether a reflection from the same transmitter is occurring, or different transmitters are involved.

Abstract: A method for running a computer program on computing hardware, in particular on a microprocessor. The computer program includes multiple program objects designed as tasks, for example. Transient and permanent errors are detected during the running of the computer program on the computing hardware. To be able to handle these transient errors constructively when they occur in a computer system in such a way that the functionality and function reliability of the computer system are restored within the shortest possible error tolerance time, at least one program object that has already been sent for execution is set into a defined state on detection of an error and is restarted from this state. The program object is a runtime object of the computer program, for example, also known as a task. One or more tasks that are still being executed or have already been executed on occurrence of an error are restarted and run again.
