| 20120103805 | DIAGNOSIS OF A CRACKED MULTI-CHAMBER SOLID-ELECTROLYTE GAS SENSOR - A diagnosis method and a gas sensor that is adapted to perform the diagnosis method are described for detecting a damage of a gas sensor causing a malfunction, particularly a crack, wherein the gas sensor has at least two chambers with one chamber comprising a reference gas. The method includes pumping out gas of one of the chambers, measuring a value of a variable being proportional to the concentration of the gas as a function of time, comparing the measured variable value and/or the measured time to a predetermined threshold, detecting a damage of the sensor if the measured variable value and/or the measured time is outside the interval of normal mode of operation defined by the corresponding predetermined threshold. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20100174518 | METHOD FOR PREDICTING AN IMPACT OF AN AGING BEHAVIOUR OF AN ELECTRICAL ELEMENT AND SIMULATION MODEL FOR SIMULATING SUCH BEHAVIOUR - A method is provided for predicting an impact of an aging behavior of a connector element, which simulates degradation states caused by aging of the connector element by means of at least one resistor element and a voltage source, as well as a computer program performing the method, a computer readable medium including the computer program, and a simulation model for simulating a degraded connector element. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20100036610 | METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR REDUCING CRIMINAL RISK TO AN OVERLAND TRANSPORT - In navigation systems and methods thereof and, more particularly, navigation systems and methods for vehicles and, even more particularly, navigation systems and methods that reduce/minimize the incidence criminal activity during transport of cargo along a route a method is provided for determining a trip route for travel including the following steps: (i) obtaining start point data for a start point; (ii) obtaining end point data for an end point; (iii) obtaining crime risk data for at least one point along a possible trip route between said start point and said end point; (iv) determining a portion of a safe trip route between said start point and said endpoint based on said crime risk data; and, (v) communicating said portion of said safe trip route via a navigation device. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20090157247 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR USING AN AUTOMATED LANE KEEPING SYSTEM TO MAINTAIN LATERAL VEHICLE SPACING - A method and apparatus for piloting a vehicle is herein disclosed. The method entails first using a lane keeping system to detect objects in lanes adjacent to the lane currently occupied by the vehicle and then adjusting the position of the vehicle within the occupied lane-relative to a detected object. | 06-18-2009 |
