| 20090055337 | Methods and system to compare different options in a decision making process - A method of comparing a plurality of decision options is provided. The method can include entering a plurality of factors; determining a plurality of decision options based on the plurality of factors; calculating a score for the plurality of factors; ranking each decision option based on the total score of each factor; outputting the rankings for each decision option. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090055338 | System, method and computer program product for interfacing a decision engine and marketing engine - A system, method and computer program product for interfacing a decision engine and a marketing engine in order to provide vendor-related data in response to decision-related data is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the system and method may include providing a decision engine on a user-accessible network; interfacing a marketing engine with the decision engine on the network; receiving a plurality of user inputs with the decision engine; processing decision-related data with the decision engine in accordance with the plurality of user inputs; sharing the decision-related data with the marketing engine; processing the decision-related data with the marketing engine; and transmitting vendor-related data via the network. | 02-26-2009 |

| 20100191789 | METHOD FOR REGULATING AN ACTUAL VALUE OF A VARIABLE CHARACTERIZING A POSITION OF AN ACTUATOR, COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT, COMPUTER PROGRAM, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A method is provided for regulating an actual value of a variable, which characterizes a position of an actuator, to a setpoint value using a regulator, which method makes it possible to optimize regulation in terms of bandwidth, stability, accuracy, and sturdiness. A predefined time characteristic of the setpoint value is transformed into a desired time characteristic of the actual value. A first transfer function is formed in the frequency domain and is approximated using one or more factors, in particular delay elements, to transform the predefined time characteristic of the setpoint value into the desired time characteristic of the actual value. A nonintegral exponent is selected for at least one of the factors. | 07-29-2010 |
| 20100286844 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DIAGNOSING A POSITION ENCODER - A method for determining a mixup in the terminals of a position encoder having a position encoder motor, which is bidirectionally drivable via a plurality of terminals, so that a mixup of at least two of the terminals of the position encoder motor leads to a reversal in the actuation direction of the position encoder, having the following steps of setting an actuating element of the position encoder to a zero setting, from which a motion of the actuating element is possible in one or two directions; driving the position encoder motor according to a diagnostic variable, which is selected so that, based on the actuation using the diagnostic variable, in the case of a non-mixup of the terminals and in the case of a mixup of the terminals, different absolute values of the changes are to be expected in the changes of the actuation position of the actuating element; recording a current change in the actuation position of the actuating element that comes about by the driving of the position encoder motor; establishing a mixup of at least two of the terminals, if the absolute value of the current change of the actuation position of the actuating element deviates from the absolute value of the change in the actuation position that is to be expected. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20110112744 | Actuating device, controller for operating the actuating device and method for operating an actuating device - An actuating device for providing a physical output quantity includes: a control element for providing the physical output quantity; an actuator unit triggering the control element according to a triggering variable; and a communication unit receiving the triggering variable, which communication unit sends actuator information which contains an indication about a correlation between the provided physical output quantity of the actuating device and the triggering variable. | 05-12-2011 |
