Abstract: There is described a method for determining the speed of a wheel on a motor vehicle, for which purpose an acceleration sensor is mounted on the wheel. It is proposed according to the invention to measure the frequency &ohgr; or the period T of an alternating signal contained in the acceleration signal supplied by the acceleration sensor and produced by the influence of gravitational acceleration g. The method is suited for use in automatic tyre-pressure monitoring systems for assigning signals, that have been transmitted by radio from a wheel-mounted electronic module, to a particular wheel position and for controlling the transmission rate of a wheel-mounted electronic module as a function of the speed.

Abstract: A method of operating a device for monitoring vehicle-tire pressures and indicating changes in pressure by radio, which is arranged in the valve of the pneumatic tire and contains a power source; a pressure sensor; an analog/digital converter for digitizing the pressure signal obtained from the pressure sensor; a memory for storing the pressure signal; a transmitter; a comparator, in particular in a module with a microprocessor, which compares the pressure signal with a previously stored comparison pressure signal, generates a signal if the deviation of the pressure signal from the comparison pressure signal exceeds a threshold, and activates the transmitter, which thereupon transmits a datum regarding the detected deviation to a receiver arranged in the vehicle; and a timing switch which activates the device at time intervals for a measurement and comparison operation and otherwise keeps it deactivated for purpose of power conservation. The comparator stores the pressure signal and, with said pressure signal, constitutes a new comparison pressure signal which replaces the previous comparison pressure signal.

Abstract: A method for processing signals of a tire pressure monitoring system on vehicles on each of whose N wheels (R1 through R5) a transmitter is mounted and a reception antenna (1 through 5) which is connected to the input of a common receiver (8) is allocated to each transmitter in its vicinity, the transmitters transmitting, at time intervals, data telegrams which contain an individual identifier and a data portion following the latter. The signals received simultaneously from the reception antennas (1 through 5) and having the same identifier are conveyed in summed fashion to the receiver (8), alternately from all N reception antennas (1 through 5) and from N-1 reception antennas (1, 2, 4, 5), such that the one reception antenna (3) whose signal is blanked out of the sum of the signals is selected by cyclical transposition from the total number N of reception antennas (1 through 5). Then the intensity of the summed signals is determined, the intensity of the sums of N-1 signals is compared in each case to the intensity of the sum of N signals, and an identification is made of that reception antenna (3) from which the signal has come whose blanking from the signal sum brings about the greatest intensity loss (D1 through D5). Lastly, the signal having the relevant individual identifier is allocated to that reception antenna (3) and to the wheel (R3) allocated to it.

Abstract: Control signals for electric consumers in vehicle doors and l.f. signals for loudspeakers in vehicle doors are transferred from a control apparatus (1) provided outside of the door over a common data line (42, 43) to a door module (20, 30). For this purpose, in the control apparatus (1) the control signals are modulated in binary-coded form onto a carrier signal and onto the same carrier signal there is also modulated the l.f. audio signal. In the door module 30) the signals are demodulated and separated according to frequency. The l.f. signals are amplified and fed to a loudspeaker (4, 5). The control signals are evaluated by a micro-controller (24, 34) and they control over switching stages (23, 33), setting elements (6, 7) provided in the door. Conversely there is also possible a data transfer from the door module (2, 3) to the control apparatus (1).
