Abstract:
Fault detection devices, systems and methods are provided which implement identical processors. A first processor is configured to receive a first measurement, execute a first firmware based on the first measurement, and output a first result of the executed first firmware. A second processor, identical to the first processor, is configured to receive a second measurement, execute a second firmware based on the second measurement, and output a second result of the executed second firmware. The first firmware and the second firmware provide a same nominal function in a diverse manner for calculating the first result and the second result, respectively, such that the first result and the second result are expected to be within a predetermined margin. Thus, a fault can be detected by comparing the first and the second results.
Abstract:
A sensor may include a clock generator configured to generate a clock. A receiver may be configured to receive signals from a control unit, and a transmitter they be configured to send signals to the control unit. In one implementation, the transmitter is configured to send a synchronization signal based on the clock. A period between a first edge and a second edge of the synchronization signal may be dependent on the clock and both edges are either rising or falling.
Abstract:
Methods, devices and systems are disclosed where to generate a pulse a data line is actively driven to a first voltage followed by actively driving the data line to a second voltage.
Abstract:
A signal interface for a receiver includes a first receiver module configured to receive a first message related to a content. The first receiver module is configured to generate a first adapted message based on the first message and a first transformation protocol. The signal interface further includes a second receiver module configured to receive a second message related to the content. The second receiver module is configured to generate a second adapted message based on the second message and a second transformation protocol. The first transformation protocol associated with the first receiver module and the second transformation protocol associated with the second receiver module are different.
