An airbag control device, wherein the airbag control device generates at least one actuation signal for an actuation time as a function of at least one sensor signal, wherein the airbag control device can maintain the at least one actuation signal for a holding time, wherein the airbag control device has at least one non-volatile memory in which the generation of the at least one actuation signal can be stored, wherein the airbag control device, when the at least one actuation signal is generated, stores a status signal in the at least one non-volatile memory or in a further non-volatile memory, wherein the status signal is deleted again if the at least one actuation signal was generated for longer than a storage time. Also disclosed is a voltage network in a motor vehicle and to a method for actuating a voltage network.

A device, vehicle, method and computer program for deactivating high-voltage components of a vehicle. The device for deactivating high-voltage components of a vehicle carries out an error analysis of the high-voltage components after detecting a vibration and deactivates the high-voltage components if an error in the high-voltage components results in the error analysis.

An energy store device, especially for a motor vehicle, includes at least two energy sources, which are connected via an electrical connection, and at least one safety element, the safety element being deformable and/or expandable in order to sever the electrical connection between the energy sources. In a method for severing electrical connections of an energy store device having at least two energy sources, a short-circuit risk is determined with the aid of at least one determination device, a propellant is activated following a determination result of the determination device, and at least one safety element is deformed and/or expanded by the activation of the propellant, in order to sever at least one electrical connection of the energy store device.

An internal combustion engine for a motor vehicle with a cylinder head, an intake manifold, and a fuel distributor rail. The downstream end of the intake manifold is connected by a flange to intake channels in the cylinder head of the internal combustion engine. The fuel distributor rail is located at the downstream end of the intake manifold and is connected to fuel injection valves. The internal combustion engine is installed in the motor vehicle in such a way that the intake manifold is located on the side of the cylinder head on which the external crash force will act during a crash. A protective strap, which extends at least over the entire width of the flange, is attached to the cylinder head. The protective strap is located so that, based on direction of the crash force, it is a certain distance in front of the fuel distributor rail and, based on the direction in which the intake manifold will be deformed upstream of the flange during a crash, this direction being at an angle to the direction of the crash force, a certain distance behind the intake manifold.
