The invention relates to a method having application to combustion control of an internal-combustion engine for real-time estimation of engine combustion parameters from vibratory signals. Responsive to executing a predetermined instruction, the CPU core signals the cache to prevent caching data during transfer from system to scratchpad memory thereby reducing the number of bus turnarounds while maintaining byte granularity addressability. For this purpose, the driving state data are monitored with respect to a state of emergency braking, and when the state of emergency braking is detected the vehicle occupant protection system is actuated. The status information can be transmitted with messages so as to enhance the messages. The conveyor belt is characterized in that the lateral elements are connected in pairs to only two rods, which are fixedly connected to said lateral elements and form, with these, a link means, and adjoining link means are articulated to each other by a coupling element arranged therebetween and connected to neighboring rods of the adjoining link means.
