摘要:
Before digital data impulses are transmitted from a transmitter to a receiver that includes a data acquisition signal generator, at least one synchronizing impulse (syn1, . . . ) is transmitted for synchronizing the transmitter with the receiver with regard to a sync frequency that is repeatedly updated to provide a current accepted sync frequency. The at least one synchronizing impulse and the data impulses are Manchester encoded which combines timing (synchronizing) and data signals. An impulse flank change occurring centrally in an impulse width is used as a synchronization point of time. Stepping pulses occurring between two consecutive synchronization points of time are counted and the resulting count is used to determine the sync frequency in response to the occurrence of a synchronizing impulse and at a synchronization point of time. A time shift or delay occurs between data impulses and synchronization points of time. This delay is taken into account by a corresponding time shift in the scanning of the logic levels “0” and “1” of the data impulses. This type of signal transmission is especially suitable for a signal bus in a passenger protection system.

In an electronic device, in particular a piece of safety equipment for vehicle occupants, a switching element (13) which characterizes the operational position of an insertable seat belt is connected in parallel with a firing element (10, 11). The switching element (13) has a break contact which is broken when the seat belt is activated correctly.

An arrangement for detecting a changing variable in a motor vehicle includes at least one transducer having terminals with at least one terminal being connected to a pole of a supply voltage. In addition, an actuable switch element is provided which interrupts at least one connecting line connected to a terminal. The potential of this terminal is detected relative to a reference potential when the switch element is open and a fault state of the transducer is assumed when there is an impermissible fluctuation of the potential value during at least two detecting operations.

A method and an arrangement for electronically controlling an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle. The detecting unit is connected to a component determining the power of the engine such as a throttle flap or a control rod or an accelerator pedal and generates at least two position signals. The detecting unit is so configured that with a position change of the power-determining component, the two position signal variables change in opposition. A fault detection associated with this kind of measure permits detecting short circuits as well as shunt faults between the potentiometer wipers.

In a method for evaluating the output signal (a) from a sensor (1), an average value (M) is formulated from a plurality of successively measured values (ai) of the output signal (a). Subsequently, the difference (D) between this measured value (M) and one succeeding measured value of the output signal (a) from the sensor (1) is determined, and finally the thus formulated differential value is compared to a specified threshold value to derive a criterion for activating a restraining device for protecting motor vehicle occupants.

The invention is directed to a circuit arrangement for controlling the current through an electric load such as an electromagnetic load. A current-controlling element controls the current through the load in response to a control unit. The voltage at the load is compared with a voltage which depends on the control unit which drives the current-controlling element. The current through the electric load is then controlled in dependence upon the result of this comparison. An embodiment is described by means of which the entire circuit arrangement is protected against function failures or even destruction.

A device for controlling and/or regulating current flowing through an electromagnetic consumer, particularly in a control system of an internal combustion engine, is based on the separation of the control of current intensity through the consumer from the control of the direction of this current. This separation is achieved by the provision of a bridge circuit of four current amplifying units whose one diagonal branch is formed by the electromagnetic consumer and the other diagonal branch is formed by a series connection of power source an additional current controlling unit and a measuring resistor. The additional current controlling unit is controlled by a separate current intensity control signal whereas the bridge circuit is controlled by another, current polarity control signal.
摘要:
A bus master for a bus for connection of sensors and/or an ignition means device, which has at least two bus driver arrangements allowing data to be received independently of one another. For this purpose a polling operation, specifically using a multiplexer or a demodulator associated through one of the particular bus driver arrangements, is used. Furthermore, a state machine is provided, which also alternatingly determines the system status on the basis of the measured quantities determined on the bus conductor for the particular bus driver arrangement. In a refinement, a particular bus driver may have a dedicated processor for system status determination.
摘要:
A sensor adapted for connection to a bus and a method for supplying power to a sensor connected to a bus are described, which serve to minimize the power consumption of a sensor connected to the bus. To this end, power for a sensor is stored in an energy storage device in a first time period and is discharged in a second time period, that is, the measurement time, in order to supply the sensor element with power. A capacitor is used as the energy storage device, and the charging of the capacitor is monitored by a voltage monitoring device.

A possibility for controlling and supplying energy to a larger number of restraint means components in a vehicle seat that can be installed in variable fashion, this possibility being able to be realized using a constructively simple and robust electrical connection, so that this connection in particular also withstands the mechanical stresses that occur during the installation and removal of the vehicle seat. For this purpose, the vehicle seat is equipped with at least one system bus for controlling and supplying energy to the individual restraint means components of the vehicle seat. In addition, means are provided for the electrical contacting of the system bus during the installation of the vehicle seat.
