20080252600ADAPTABLE CONTROL DEVICE - The invention relates to a control device for controlling vehicle functional units. There is a need for a control device which can be used for controlling a variety of different functional units without there being uncertainty with respect to what function is being controlled. The control device is adapted to control a selected one of a variety of different vehicle functional units. At least one display element is associated with the control device. The display element displays an image associated with the functional unit which is being controlled by the control device.10-16-2008

20110102247Adaptive Clutter Filter for Maritime Surface Search Radar - A time sequence of raw radar data for a region of space is subdivided into a plurality of processing frames. The processing frames are subdivided into a plurality of processing cells and iteratively processed by selecting a single processing cell for processing, transforming the radar data of the processing cell to form transformed radar data in either the time domain or the Fourier domain. The transformed data is converted to a Power Spectrum Density Matrix in the case of the Fourier domain and a Time Space Correlation Matrix in the case of the time domain. This is smoothed and thresholded and then the clutter for the processing cell is estimated. Estimated local non-speckle clutter is estimated and removed from the transformed radar data, with the cleaned transformed radar data converted back to the time domain if required.05-05-2011

20090167222METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETERMINING THE TORQUE OF AN ELECTRIC MACHINE - A method for determining the torque of an electric machine, in particular a permanently energized electric machine. The torque is determined by a particularly simple and accurate method by measuring a phase voltage and the rotational speed of the electric machine and calculating the torque based on these values.07-02-2009
20110119014METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING THE ROTOR TEMPERATURE OF AN ELECTRIC MOTOR OF A HYBRID VEHICLE - A method and a system for determining the rotor temperature of an electric motor of a hybrid vehicle. In a method for determining the rotor temperature of an electric motor of a hybrid vehicle in which it is possible to reliably determine the rotor temperature using simple means, the rotor temperature of the electric motor being ascertained by measuring an operating parameter of the electric motor during operation of the hybrid vehicle.05-19-2011
20110130996OFFSET ANGLE DETERMINATION FOR SYNCHRONOUS MACHINES - The present invention relates to a method for determining an offset angle of an electric machine, including a stator, a rotor, and a shaft connected to the rotor. The shaft is provided in an essentially no-load state, and the rotor is positioned with respect to the stator at a field angle which corresponds to the alignment of a rotor magnetic field generated by the rotor relative to the alignment of a stator magnetic field generated by the stator. A sensor angle is determined by measuring with the aid of an angle sensor connected to the shaft, the detected sensor angle being associated with the field angle. The offset angle is provided as a function of the difference between the field angle and the sensor angle, and the configuration of the rotor includes impressing a standing or rotating stator magnetic field which corresponds to the field angle. Moreover, the present invention relates to an angle detection device for carrying out the method of the present invention.06-02-2011
