Abstract: Disclosed is a method for detection of a pressure loss in motor vehicle tires, which detects pressure loss on at least one vehicle tire based on several parameters, which are calculated from the rolling circumference of the tires. To this end, currently calculated parameters are compared with learnt values of the parameters.

Abstract: In diagnosis apparatus and method for diagnosing a vehicle antenna, the vehicle antenna performing transmission and reception of electric waves to and from a portable unit, the vehicle antenna is driven to perform communications with the portable unit when a first condition is satisfied and the vehicle antenna is driven to perform a diagnosis of a connection state of the vehicle antenna when a second condition is satisfied. The first condition is different from the second condition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a high lift system for an aircraft, comprising a flap, which is arranged on a wing box and which can be moved between a retracted position and at least one extended position relative to the wing box by means of a drive device, a support construction, which is arranged on the wing box in the area of the drive device and to which the flap is coupled and which comprises a movable support element, which can be moved to move the flap relative to the wing box, and an acceleration sensor arranged in the area of the flap or the movable support element for detecting accelerations of the flap.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of detecting at least one oscillatory fault in at least one positional slaving chain for at least one airfoil of an aircraft. The method involves estimating a reference position of the airfoil in the absence of a fault, and calculating a residual value based on the difference between the estimated reference position and the actual position measured by at least one sensor. The calculated residual value is compared with at least one predetermined threshold value to determine the number of successive and alternating overshoots of the predetermined threshold value by the residual value, and oscillatory fault is determined based on the determined number.
