    摘要: An optical detection system for a vehicle having a detection region for recording a section of the surroundings. The optical detection system has an image receiver chip having a maximum number of pixels. During the recording of an image of the surroundings a number of pixels is active in a pixel region to be evaluated of the image receiver chip. The maximum number of pixels of the image receiver chip is greater than the number of pixels of the pixel region to be evaluated. The optical detection system detects a region lying behind the vehicle and is designed such that, if the tailgate is moved, the detection region remains substantially unchanged as a result of a change to the pixel region to be evaluated on the image receiver chip. A method for retaining a detection region of an optical detection system is also disclosed.

    摘要: A method of ascertaining disparities in sensor data uses at least one neural network implemented in a controller of a vehicle. The method involves capturing (101) a learning data record from temporally successive raw sensor data, evaluating (102) the learning data record to train the neural network exclusively based on the learning data record of the captured raw sensor data, ascertaining (103) expected sensor data, comparing (104) the ascertained expected sensor data with sensor data currently captured by the sensor arrangement, and ascertaining (105) a disparity between the currently captured sensor data and the ascertained expected sensor data.

    摘要: A method for determining the course of the road for a moving motor vehicle having a surroundings sensor system. Sensor data generated by the surroundings sensor system are evaluated to detect lane-relevant features. A lane model having at least one lane model parameter that determines the course of the lane is generated for the road, structures of at least one distance range that are parallel to the road are detected in the sensor data, the tangential direction of at least the one structure that is parallel to the road is determined, and the value of the tangential direction of the structure that is parallel to the road is adopted as the value of the direction of the tangent line at the point of contact with the structure that is parallel to the road to determine at least the one lane model parameter by predictive estimation in the lane model.

    摘要: A pneumatic valve, includes an air chamber with a supply port to supply compressed air into the air chamber and one or more discharge ports for discharging compressed air from the air chamber. An actuator with a movable closing element and a shape memory alloy SMA element are provided in the valve. The SMA element deforms in response to a supply of electrical heating current and effects an activation of the actuator by movement of the closing element. When the actuator is in an activated state, the closing element blocks the supply of compressed air via the supply port is blocked. When the actuator is in a deactivated state, the closing element enables the supply of compressed air via the supply port. Upon deactivation of the actuator, the closing element is moved by a restoring force into the free setting. The valve includes a check valve with an elastic element.

    摘要: An electric bicycle has an electric motor and an electric energy store for supplying energy to the electric motor. Accordingly, the bicycle has a first controller coupled to the electric motor and is configured to store a first keycode. The bicycle has a second controller coupled to the energy store and is configured to store a second keycode. The controllers are connected or can be connected to a data transmission system, which is a bus. The first and second controllers are configured such that at least one specified controller of the controllers receives the keycode of the other controller. The specified controller is configured to determine whether its keycode matches the received keycode of the other controller using specified criteria. An immobilizer for an electric bicycle can be formed from these components.
