Abstract

A control device is provided for operating a road-coupled hybrid vehicle, which is equipped with an electronic control unit, a first drive unit paired with a primary axle, and a second drive unit paired with a secondary axle. The control unit is designed to receive input variables including a specified sum target creep torque and a command to switch over from the single-axle operation to the two-axle operation with a specified all-wheel factor. The control unit sets a specified target torque for an internal combustion engine of the primary axle according to the all-wheel factor and detects the resulting actual coupling torque of the automatic transmission. If the functional module of the control unit ascertains a difference between the actual coupling torque and the sum target creep torque, the functional module specifies a corresponding target torque for an electric drive motor of the secondary axle to compensate for the difference.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method (1) and an object tracking device (13) for object tracking. The invention also relates to a correspondingly configured motor vehicle (13). In the method (1), the movement status is determined for objects (17) detected on the basis of sensor data (3) of a sensor system (12), and a classification process is carried out accordingly in terms of whether it is a moving or stationary object (17). Object data (2) relating to the objects (17) is stored, comprising multiple characteristics of the respective object (17) and the movement status determined for same. The object data (2) of objects (17) detected in a previous measuring cycle is updated based on the current sensor data (3). For only those detected objects (17) classified as a stationary object (17), their characteristics stored in the object data (2) are updated independently of one another.

Abstract

A personality-based intelligent personal assistant IPA system, includes at least a first entity, which is adapted to determine a user's preferences with regard to the provision of information, and at least a second entity, which is adapted to receive the first entity's determination result. The system is further adapted to adjust the IPA's attributes regarding communication behavior with the user according to the determined user's preferences, wherein the communication behavior attribute comprises an amount of provided information to the user, a frequency of system-initiated interaction, a proactivity of automation, and/or an integration of third-party content.

Abstract

The invention relates to a battery device (10) for a motor vehicle, having a plurality of battery cells (12) which are accommodated in a housing and rest at least against a heat-conducting potting compound (20) or a heat-conducting pad, which potting compound or pad rests against at least one structural component (22) of the battery device (10), as a result of which heat (14) can be dissipated from the battery cells (12) to the structural component (22) via the heat-conducting potting compound (20) or the heat-conducting pad.
