    Abstract: A method for detecting non-visible vehicles in a vehicle's environment includes screening, by a receiver of a proximity sensor, any incoming proximity signal capable of propagating through the air along a non-linear path. Receiving such an incoming proximity signal and processing the received proximity signal allows for detecting an object that is otherwise not visible to a driver or another type of sensor on a vehicle and warning the driver or an advanced driver-assistance system about the detected object.

    Abstract: A vehicle power distribution circuit (14) for connecting between an energy store (2) and a power line (8) connected to a generator or DC/DC-Converter (9). The circuit (14) has a charging line (7) connecting between the energy store (2) and the power line (8) for charging the energy store (2) when a forward voltage is applied by the generator or DC/DC-Converter (9). A protection switch (6) is provided in the charging line (7) and is openable for preventing conduction of current through the protection switch (6) in response to a drop in voltage on the power line (8). An ideal diode arrangement (13) is provided in parallel to the protection switch (6) in the charging line (7) for conducting the forward current from the generator or DC/DC-Converter (9) to the energy store (2). The ideal diode arrangement (13) prevents the conducting of a reverse current when a reverse voltage is applied.

    Abstract: An electrical safety system comprises a main safety device including a N-type transistor and an auxiliary safety device including a P-type transistor, alternately activated under command of a controller. The N-type transistor and the P-type transistor have the function of overcurrent protection, respectively in a first operating mode and in a second operating mode. The auxiliary safety device includes a passive component, connected in series with the P-type transistor, for providing a voltage drop when a current passes through the passive component, and a driving circuit for turning off the P-type transistor under control of the voltage drop exceeding a first threshold, in the second operating mode.

    Abstract: A system for controlling power supply to a load from a power supply line including a first circuit, at least a second circuit, a control module, and a monitoring module. The first circuit includes a first path for supplying power to the load, and a first switching mechanism for controlling the supply of power through the first path. The second circuit includes a second path for supplying power to the load and a second switching mechanism for controlling the supply of power through the second path. The control module is configured to output control signals to control operations of the circuits to independently switch on or off each of the respective paths. The monitoring module is configured to monitor physical quantity parameters of the paths, to detect deviations of the physical quantity parameter values from respective reference values to check the consistency between the first and second path.
