  • Publication number: 20200241979
    Abstract: An improved method for investigating a functional behavior of a component of a technical installation includes comparing a signal of the component to be investigated and representing the functional behavior of the component with a reference signal which describes an average functional behavior of identical components. During the comparison, a comparison variable describing the deviation of the signal from the reference signal is determined. In addition, a probability of the occurrence of the comparison variable is determined by using a predefinable distribution of a multiplicity of such comparative variables. A computer program and a computer readable storage medium are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20200165955
    Abstract: A process for manufacturing an exhaust system, especially for an internal combustion engine of a vehicle, includes providing an exhaust gas-guiding component (26) with a wall (38) made of a metallic material and providing a sensor-mounting connector (22), to be fixed at the wall. The sensor-mounting connector includes a sensor-mounting area (28) to be positioned outside the exhaust gas-guiding component, and a connection area (34), which is to be positioned such that the connection area meshes with the wall. The connection area is pressed against an outer surface (40) of the wall of the exhaust gas-guiding component in a fastening area (39) of the wall, and at the same time rotated about a longitudinal axis (A) of the connector to penetrate into the material forming the wall and a connection in substance is established between the metallic material of the wall and the metallic material of the sensor-mounting connector.

  • Patent number: 10661827
    Abstract: A motor vehicle for piloted driving including a front axle steering system and a rear axle steering system. In the active, trouble-free driving state with a piloted driving, the driving task for steering the front axle is performed by a front axle steering control which automatically controls the front axle steering system. A failure of the automatic front axle steering control is automatically recognized with a failure recognition device and the vehicle steering is taken over by the rear axle steering system. The motor vehicle is equipped with a device for controlled wheel-selective brake intervention. In case of a failure of the automatic front axle steering control, this device is controlled in such a way that an automatic centering of the front axle steering system is performed by wheel-selective braking interventions.

  • Publication number: 20200086840
    Abstract: A control valve for applying a spring-loaded brake pressure to spring-loaded parts of a rear-axle wheel brake is pneumatically activated as a function of a parking-brake braking demand and a service-brake braking demand. A first control chamber is connected via a first control piston to a control arrangement in the control valve. During an adjustment of the first control chamber via the service-brake control pressure, the spring-loaded brake pressure at the working output is a function of the service-brake control pressure or of the parking-brake control pressure. The first control piston is connected to a third control chamber, wherein the pressure in the first control chamber acts on the first control piston in one direction, and the pressure in the third control chamber acts on the first control piston in the opposite direction. The first control chamber is selectively connectable to the third control chamber via a switchable bypass valve.
