20110064090CYCLICAL TIME-BASED COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, USER IN SUCH A SYSTEM AND TRANSMISSION METHOD - A cyclical time-based communication system, for the transmission of data (DATA) between users, comprising a databus and users connected thereto. The data transmission occurs within cyclical repeating timeframes, each with at least two timeslots. Each timeslot is provided for the transmission of a message (Ni). A message (Ni) comprises at least part of the data (DATA) and each message (Ni) is provided with a code (ID). The bandwidth available for data transmission may be better utilized, if the code (ID) is placed within the message(Ni), each message (Ni) is additionally provided with time information concerning the timeslot which may be extracted from the code, and at least one of the timeslots may be used for transmission of various messages in various cycles. In a preferred embodiment the information relating to the current cycle comprises an ordinal number. In the simplest case the number has two values 0 and 1.03-17-2011

20090077287METHOD AND DEVICE FOR EXCHANGING DATA BETWEEN AT LEAST TWO STATIONS CONNECTED TO A BUS SYSTEM - A method and a device for exchanging data in messages between at least two stations connected by a bus system. The messages contain the data being transmitted by the stations over the bus system. Each message contains an identifier characterizing the data contained therein. Each station decides on the basis of the identifier whether to receive the message. The messages are controlled in time by a first station. The first station repeatedly transmits a reference message over the bus in at least one specifiable time interval. The time interval is subdivided into time windows of a specifiable length, the messages being transmitted in the time windows.03-19-2009

In order to detect also permanent disturbances of bus controller and resulting errors of bus controller when accessing data bus monitoring unit has an arrangement for implementing a question-answer communication with bus controller and that it enables the bus controller to access data bus only if the question-answer communication establishes a proper functioning of bus controller.09-09-2010
20110251821METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TESTING A COMPUTER CORE IN A PROCESSOR HAVING AT LEAST TWO COMPUTER CORES - A method and a device for testing a computer core in a processor having at least two computer cores is described. The computer cores are connected to each other via an internal connecting system, both computer cores contributing toward the operating sequence of a machine. In the method for testing a computer core, with which a high error detection rate may be achieved in a minimum outlay of time, a test is run in one computer core, while a program for executing the driving operation of the motor vehicle is being processed in the other computer core at the same time.10-13-2011
20110264974METHOD FOR OPERATING A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM HAVING A PLURALITY OF NODES, AND A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM THEREFOR - In a method for operating a communication system having a plurality of nodes which have access to a shared channel, a transmission process for transmitting a message via the channel is monitored for bit errors, and when a bit error occurs, a signaling message is transmitted via the channel in order to signal the bit error. In order to allow communications processes between the nodes to be controlled as a function of a bit error rate of the channel, a signaling rate of the signaling messages is measured and a bit error rate of the channel is determined as a function of the signaling rate.10-27-2011
20120144140Memory Protection Unit and a Method for Controlling an Access to a Memory Device - A memory protection unit includes at least a first access control unit and a second access control unit programmed for controlling an access to a memory device. Further a method to operate a processing system comprising multiple processing devices and multiple memory protection units associated to the multiple processing devices, The access to the memory by a processing device is approved if first access control unit and second access control unit of the memory protection associated to the processing device approves the access and access is rejected if first access control unit or second access control unit rejects the access. The first access control unit is programmable by the associated processing device alone and the programming of the second access control unit is readable by an additional processing device which is to be used in a system with multiple programming devices, not the associate processing device.06-07-2012
