Abstract

Improved barriers for protecting cathodes and/or anodes in Li batteries are provided. We have found that F-doping of ALD-grown lithium metal oxides results in a barrier having a highly desirable combination of properties. In particular, these barriers have mixed conductivity where both electronic conductivity and ionic conductivity are important. Furthermore, these barriers also have the desirable mechanical properties of uniform and controllable thickness, and highly conformal deposition.

Abstract

In the method according to the invention for checking the validity of a digitally implemented function in a vehicle (F), it is determined (11) whether parameters of a data transmission method used by a point (Z) outside the vehicle for checking the validity correspond to or are compatible with the parameters of a data transmission method used by the vehicle for this purpose. If this is the case, data which are sent by the point outside the vehicle and relate to a function digitally implemented in the vehicle are received (12). If this is not the case, the data transmission method used by the point outside the vehicle is first converted (13) into the data transmission method used by the vehicle, and after the data transmission method has been converted, the data sent by the point outside the vehicle are received (12) in the vehicle. The validity of the digitally implemented function of the vehicle (F) is checked (14) by means of the received data.

Abstract

A method, driver assistance system, and vehicle are provided for optimizing the operation of a driver assistance system in specific situations. The method includes determining whether the vehicle is located within a predefined surrounding area of at least one object from a predetermined object group. If the vehicle is within the predefined surrounding area, the driver assistance system is modified by establishing a reduced trigger threshold compared to a predetermined trigger threshold at which a driver assistance function is activated, reducing the intensity of or deactivating a first warning signal, and/or deactivating the driver assistance function. The driver assistance system includes a control unit configured to execute the method and a sensor system for detecting the predefined surrounding area. A vehicle incorporating the driver assistance system adapts its warnings and interventions based on its proximity to predefined objects, preventing unnecessary alerts and optimizing driver assistance functions.

Abstract

A method and device for recognizing a hands-off state at a vehicle steering wheel. At least one steering variable is detected at the steering wheel and supplied as input data to a trained machine learning model. The model comprises a trained main model and a preceding trained adapter model. The adapter model determines general input data from specific input data. The main model recognizes the hands-off state from the general input data and outputs associated state information. This approach allows adapting the machine learning model to various usage conditions with reduced effort by only modifying the adapter model while keeping the main model fixed.
