Tech/Engineering - Patents / patent on ignition circuit
German term or phrase: Weiterbildung
Der Prozessor kann gegebenenfalls die Konstantstromquelle abschalten oder aber in einer Weiterbildung hoehere oder niedrigere Stroeme schalten.

This may be a Weiterbildung of an embodiment of the patent, but I'm not really sure.

expanded version


Explanation:
A variation on the good answer from Marcus. They definitely are referring to an expansion or upgrade of the processor. Probably this would be a hardware upgrade.
So Kathi's answer is also excellent, depending on your feeling and other context.
