The present invention relates to a method for operating a charging device for charging energy stores of vehicles, preferably electric vehicles or hybrid vehicles, wherein the charging device is connected to an Internet-enabled server. In a method step, at least one receiver vehicle with a flat or partially charged battery communicates its charging demand to the charging device. Furthermore, in a method step at least one donor vehicle with an at least partially charged battery communicates its readiness to charge to the charging device.

Method for operating a charging device

The invention relates to a structural theft protection system for motor vehicles with a blocking control device ( ) for releasing a motor control device ( ), a code acquisition device ( ) that is connected to the blocking control device, and a device ( ) connected to the blocking control device ( ) for acquiring a vehicle use parameter (T, S), as well as with several locally fixed code takeover/output stations ( ), wherein the blocking control device ( ) keeps the motor control device ( ) in the release position only if the blocking control device ( ) is fed a new release information by one of the locally fixed code takeover/output stations ( ), preferably at regular intervals.

Method for generating a signal responsive to the induction air

A control device has a microcomputer, a memory which has a control program and can be cleared and programmed electrically, a read-only memory and a serial interface. In the read-only memory, a program for reprogramming the memory which can be cleared and programmed electrically is stored. For the reprogramming of the memory which can be cleared and programmed electrically, the control device receives the data to be programmed from an external communication device via the serial interface. The control device causes the program for reprogramming the memory which can be cleared and programmed electrically to be processed without the control program having to be started or operative for this purpose.

Control device including an electrically programmable memory

A vehicle security system with an anti-theft controller which conducts a data exchange with at least one function controller, particularly an engine controller, in order to control its operational readiness, wherein the data exchange is conducted via a data line connecting at least the anti-theft controller and the function controller. Alternatively, an external device (4) can be connected to the data line (1), with the device being configured for the exchange of data with at least one of the controllers (2, 3, 3', 3') The data line is a line which is already in existence in the vehicle, particularly a K-diagnostics line and/or an L-diagnostics line in accordance with ISO standard 9141. For the control of the data exchange, one of the controllers (2, 3) connected via the data line (1) exercises the functions of the control unit. If an external device (4) is connected to the data line (1, 1'), the external device assumes the function of the control unit from the controller (2, 3) controlling the data exchange in order to conduct the data exchange with the controllers (2, 3, 3', 3') connected via the data line (1).

Vehicle security system

The ignition system for a four-cycle gasoline engine having at least one cylinder includes a spark plug for each cylinder and an ignition coil for each spark plug so that each spark plug has its own ignition coil with a primary and secondary side as well as a control device for controlling the timing of the firing of the spark plugs via the individual ignition coils according to a predetermined firing sequence connected to each of the ignition coils. To satisfy strict requirements regarding exhaust emission by monitoring operation of the individual cylinders while avoiding additional sensors, the control device includes a circuit for analyzing and storing the ignition voltages on the primary side of each ignition coil measured at a number of different times for successive ignition events in each cylinder and a comparator device which compares the dependencies of the ignition voltage on time for two successive ignition events and a phase signal generating device which produces a phase signal from the results of the comparison of the ignition voltages mmade by the comparator device for control of the fuel injection and spark timing for each cylinder.
