A method for checking an output signal of a timer module is provided, the timer module having at least one output module, at least one input module, and at least one logic module. The output signal to be checked is read in into the timer module via an input module in addition to its output via an output module, and in the input module, signal characteristics to be checked are determined for the output signal to be checked. Furthermore, the signal characteristics to be checked are read by the logic module from the input module and the signal characteristics to be checked are compared in the logic module to the predefined values for the signal characteristics.

In an apparatus and a method for processing signals that represent an angular position of a shaft of a motor, a storage unit for storing arrival times of the signals in a memory is provided, the storage unit additionally evaluating a rotation direction datum of the shaft. Storage of the times in the memory is performed in a first sequence in the event of a rotation of the shaft in a first direction, and storage in the memory is performed in a second sequence that is opposite to the first sequence in the event of a rotation of the shaft in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction.

A circuit assemblage and a method for evaluating signals of a crankshaft sensor and of a camshaft sensor of an internal combustion engine are provided, the times at which the signals occur being evaluated. A position signal of a shaft of the internal combustion engine is formed from the times.

A method and a random bit generator for generating a random output bit sequence. In this method, a configuration of 2state machines is used, the state machines each including n state bits, each state machine always assuming a different state than the other state machines of the configuration, an input signal being supplied to the input end of the state machines, and these each generating n signature bits, which together form a signature bit sequence, as a function of their state, the random output bit sequence being generated by selection of individual bits from the signature bit sequences of all state machines of the configuration.

The method serves for systematically handing errors for a goniometer in the context of the transfer of position data with a position transducer, the position transducer possessing markings that are sensed with at least one sensor; a profile being deposited in a memory region in connection with said markings; the position transducer generating as a function of its position, by way of the markings, position signals that carry, as data, parameters that are deposited into a further memory region beginning with an address pointer value of 0; said address pointer being incremented with each position signal; and a synchronization between the position signals and the profile being created, and the values stored in the profile being used to modify the number of pulses outputted to the goniometer.

A method for predicting a value for a length of a future time interval in which a physical variable changes is described, in which at least one measured value for the length of a past time interval and an instantaneously measured value for a length of an instantaneous time interval are taken into account, m values for lengths of past time intervals being added. A first value precedes the instantaneously measured value by k&#x2212;1, and an mth value precedes the instantaneously measured value by k&#x2212;m. The m added values are divided by a value for a length of a past time interval which precedes the instantaneously measured value by k. A ratio of the mentioned values is formed. For determining the value to be predicted, an average error is initially added to the instantaneously measured value, forming a sum. The formed ratio is subsequently applied to this sum.
