Abstract: A method for guiding repair of a vehicle. The method comprises receiving, by an interface module, diagnostic trouble codes generated by the vehicle. Each diagnostic trouble code is associated with at least one fault occurrence of the vehicle having at least one possible cause. The method further comprises extracting, by a processor, possible causes for a fault occurrence from the diagnostic trouble codes and identifying components of the vehicle that are associated with those causes, and determining, by the processor, common components between the diagnostic trouble codes based on an identification of the components of the vehicle that could be contributing to each fault occurrence. The common components are those that are identified as being associated with fault occurrences of two of more diagnostic trouble codes.

Abstract: A wireless sensor device for wireless transmission of sensed medical data to a medical monitoring and/or intervention device. The sensor device has a sensor element for sensing a physical parameter related to a body of a living person or animal. A wireless RF transmitter and receiver serves to transmit data packets with the sensed physical parameter, and to also receive data packets, in accordance with a TDMA based network protocol. A processor system controls operation of the wireless RF transmitter and receiver, including that the sensor device can operate as wireless RF synchronization master or slave, and the sensor device can negotiate according to a deterministic negotiation algorithm to appoint one of a plurality of wireless RF devices connected to the TDMA based network as wireless RF synchronization master, if it is detected that no master is available.
