Method and electronic device for the pulse-modulated actuation of a load in a vehicle, a period duration (T) of a frequency (f) of the pulse modulation being able to be divided into an integer number (N) of sections (T), the duration of each of which corresponds to a multiple of a period duration (T) of a clock signal, and the method having the steps of: calculating a frequency (f, f) or period duration (T, T) of a period of the pulse modulation on the basis of underlying frequency modulation, and determining the duration of a respective section (T) of a period duration (T) of the pulse modulation using the calculated frequency (f, f) or period duration (T, T) of a period of the pulse modulation.

Method and electronic device for the pulse-modulated actuation of a load

The present invention relates to a method for conditioning a received signal that transmits coded data, wherein the coding of the data includes a defined coding clock pulse and the signal includes edges produced in accordance with the coding clock pulse, wherein from the received signal a time constant (t) set in accordance with the coding clock pulse is determined, a first signal part which has a first edge is conditioned at a first time that is set in accordance with the time constant (t) or in a first time window that is set in accordance with the time constant (t), and a second signal part which has a second edge is conditioned at a second time that is set in accordance with the time constant (t) and in dependence on the time of the first edge or in a second time window that is set in accordance with the time constant (t) and in dependence on the time of the first edge.

Method and device for processing a received signal transmitting coded data

A method for conditioning a coded signal including: determining a time constant, on the basis of which the data were coded, from the received signal and evaluating the received signal according to the determined time constant. A device for conditioning a received signal that transmits coded data has a determining device for determining a time constant, according to which the data were coded, from the received signal and an evaluation device for evaluating and processing the received signal according to the determined time constant.

Method and device for preprocessing a received, data coded transmitting signal

A device with at least two sensors, especially tire sidewall torsion (SWT) sensors for a motor vehicle control system, wherein the sensors are mounted at varying distances from the tire rotational axis on the chassis or wheel suspension in a stationary manner and wherein the sensors interact with at least one encoder mounted on or in the tire wall or with at least one conventional encoder mounted on or in the tire wall and exhibiting poles. The output signals or output information of the sensors are transmitted to the motor vehicle control system after having been evaluated. In order to provide preprocessed or conditioned data records to the signal processing (DSP&equals;digital signal processor), so that the signal processing software needs to carry out fewer calculating operations to correct the errors in the raw data and determine the tire or wheel forces on the basis of the conditioned data, at least one analog and one digital signal conditioning or processing unit is provided between the motor vehicle control system and the sensors.
