20130160236 | Sleeve for the Guiding-Through of at Least One Line - For facilitating mounting of a head section of a sleeve, which is used for guiding a line, in a mounting opening, a reinforcing part is provided. The reinforcing part is placed in the radial direction on the line only after the guiding-through of the line and the insertion of the head section in the mounting opening. The reinforcing part is divided at least into two mutually displaceable sections. After the placing of the reinforcing part on the line, the two sections of the reinforcing part are guided together. Subsequently, the reinforcing part is inserted in the axial direction into the head section of the sleeve. By use of the reinforcing part, the sealing effect of the sleeve is improved, and a twisting of the sleeve in the mounting opening is prevented. | 06-27-2013 |
20130073149 | Methods and Devices for Controlling a Precrash Safety System in a Motor Vehicle - In a method for controlling at least one reversible occupant protection measure of a precrash safety system, in particular a reversible belt tensioner, a plurality of input signals are received, wherein the input signals indicate a potential risk of an accident. The input signals are mapped onto a plurality of different precrash severity indicators. Each precrash severity indicator indicates an expected probability and/or severity of the accident. The precrash severity indicators are additionally filtered such that upon occurrence of a precrash severity indicator, a subsequent precrash severity indicator is suppressed for a period of time. Then, the at least one reversible occupant protection measure, for example, the belt tensioning, is triggered as a function of the filtered precrash severity indicators. | 03-21-2013 |

20080229816 | Device for Pressure-Based Load Detection - A device for intake manifold pressure-based determination of the air mass flowing into the cylinder combustion chamber is provided. A logic unit determines the inflowing air mass based on the intake manifold pressure using a calculation model for load detection that determines the intake manifold pressure in an upper partial range of the intake manifold pressure. A sensor device for direct detection of the intake manifold pressure measures the intake manifold pressure only in a lower partial range of the intake manifold pressure in the internal combustion engine. The logic unit determines the inflowing air mass as a function of the intake manifold pressure measured by the sensor device when within the lower partial range of the intake manifold pressure, and based on the intake manifold pressure determined by use of the calculation model when within the upper partial range. | 09-25-2008 |
