    摘要: Disclosed is a method for operating an automated parking brake for a motor vehicle comprising at least one braking mechanism with a brake piston. In said method, the parking brake moves the brake piston by means of an actuator between an idle position, in which the brake piston applies no braking moment, and a braking position, in which the brake piston applies a braking moment, in relation to a brake disk, and during a disengagement process of the parking brake, a reference point is determined in which the brake piston is located in a position in which it applies substantially no braking moment and which is between its idle position and its braking position. The method according to the disclosure is characterized in that the reference point is estimated taking into account an extrapolation of a variable describing the disengagement process.

    摘要: A target identification method includes receiving target detection information for a current target from a device, and acquiring target state information of multiple reference targets. A degree of matching between the target detection information and the target state information of each of the multiple reference targets is determined; and the current target is associated with a corresponding reference target having a best degree of matching amongst the multiple reference targets.

    摘要: An image sensor has a plurality of rows and columns of pixels, including RGB and bandpass I filters in a predetermined pattern shifted between adjacent columns so that none of the RGBI filters is adjacent the same type of filter. Each pixel includes a photodiode, a transfer gate and a floating diffusion. The transfer gate for all pixels in a pattern is controlled by the same signal, which can be a separate synchronous control signal controlled based on a predefined integration period or an asynchronous signal generated internally by the bandpass filter I and that is compared to a predefined voltage level indicative of a predetermined intensity at filter I. Upon activation of either signal, the integration period for the pixels ends and the charge on the floating diffusion for the R, G and B pixels is digitized in relation to the bandpass pixel I using a ratio-to-digital converter.

    摘要: A method for implementing a secure multiparty inner product computation between two parties using an SPDZ protocol involves having a first party and a second party compute, for i=1, . . . , k, a vector (I)=(II) based on a vector (x={x1, . . . , xN}), and a vector (w={W1, WN}), respectively, where (I)=(X2i-1X2i) (III)=W2i-1W2i, N is the total number of elements in the vectors k=N/2. The vectors (I), and (III) are securely shared between the parties. The parties then jointly compute SPDZ protocol Add([w2i], [x2i-1]) and Add([w2i], [x2i-1]) to determine shares [w2i-1+x2i] and [w2i+x2i-1] respectively, and then compute, for i=1, . . . , k, inner product shares [di] by performing SPDZ protocol Mult([w2i-1+x2i], [w2i+x2i-1]). SPDZ protocol ([Add d1], . . . , [dk], -(IV), . . . , -(V), -(VI), -, (VII)) is then performed to determine the inner product.

    摘要: There is disclosed a hydrostatic axial piston machine having a pulse reduction device. This device has a connection location or tap in the transition region in front of the high-pressure-side kidney-like elongate hole of a distributor plate. The connection location or tap is connected by means of one or two hydraulically passively controlled switching valves to a high-pressure store. It is used for precompression and consequently for the pulse reduction. In a development, the distributor plate also has a connection location or tap in the transition region behind the high-pressure-side kidney-like elongate hole. The connection location or tap is connected via one or two hydraulically passively controlled switching valves to a low-pressure store. This is used for the decompression and consequently also for the pulse reduction.

    摘要: A wood cutting band saw blade includes a band having a continuous band portion and having on at least one length-wise edge a plurality of teeth. The plurality of teeth extend upward from the continuous band portion, and the length-wise edge extends in a horizontal direction. Each tooth includes a cutting edge and a back angle edge defining a tip. Each tooth also includes a gullet having a forward edge extending upward from a location at a lowest extent of the gullet to the back angle edge. The gullet further includes a rearward edge extending upward from a vertical level at the lowest extent of the gullet to a cutting edge of an adjacent tooth. The location at the lowest extent of the gullet is closer to the tip than to a tip of the adjacent tooth.

    摘要: An axial piston machine has a swash plate and an adjusting device having an adjusting cylinder and a double-acting adjusting piston which is longitudinally movable in the adjusting cylinder and includes a piston and a piston rod, which is fixedly connected to the piston and is articulated to the swash plate. The joint between the adjusting piston and the swash plate is a movable swivel joint having a joint body receptacle on one part and a joint body on the other part of the adjusting piston and the swash plate. The joint body is closely guided in the joint body receptacle in the direction of movement of the adjusting piston, is rotatable about an axis of rotation running parallel to the pivot axis of the swashplate, and is movable with a directional component perpendicular to the direction of movement of the adjusting piston and perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
