Abstract:
An electromagnetically actuatable valve in which the fluid flow quantity output during the opening and closing process of the valve is adjusted by varying the magnitude of the spring force of the restoring spring acting upon the valve closing body by varying the magnetic attraction on the valve closing element. For adjusting the fluid flow quantity output during the opening and closing process of the electromagnetically adjustable valve, the housing cap (10) is moved relative to the valve jacket and thus the critical magnetic throttle cross section defining the magnetic flux of the magnetic circuit is varied, until the measured output actual quantity of the fluid matches a predetermined set-point quantity. The method and valve according to the invention is especially well-suited for electromagnetically actuatable fuel injection valves of fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines.
Abstract:
A fuel injection valve for internal combustion engines having a valve needle which works in conjunction with a valve seat to open and close a valve opening, this valve needle being activated by an electromagnet against a return spring. The return spring rests on a shoulder of an armature, which is fixedly connected with the valve needle, and on a setting tube which is guided in an axially movable opening in the interior of the magnet core of the electromagnet, and through which fuel travels from a fuel inlet nozzle to the valve opening. The valve needle stroke is limited by a cross link with a central stop point which is fixed in the interior of the magnet core. The setting tube is slit longitudinally in the end section facing the return spring and straddles the cross link here on both sides with clearance. Due to the cental stroke stop of the valve needle on the cross link, the valve needle stroke is always constant, even when the valve needle is not aligned with the valve housing axis.
Abstract:
An electronic device, and a method for executing a plurality of processes with the electronic device, wherein, in a resource-conserving manner, rapid response times are achievable, in that the electronic device, during operation, executes first and second processes (P1, P2), of which the first processes (P1) are executable as approximate solutions (P1-A) and as detailed calculations (P1-C). The electronic device includes a processor for executing processes (P1, P2) and an electronic unit or a multitasking-capable operating system. The electronic unit includes a component, which recognizes whether the processor is active, and serves, while the processor is active and a simultaneous execution of at least two processes is required, for executing the first processes (P1), in that it, itself, determines the approximate solution (P1-A) and sets such in the place of a detailed calculation (P1-C) determined with the processor.
Abstract:
A venting device for a housing, for example, a battery housing, has a gas-permeable and liquid-impermeable membrane attached to the housing so as to close off a venting opening of the housing. The membrane has a membrane section that overlaps and covers the venting opening. The membrane section has a predetermined bursting pressure. The membrane section deforms without being destroyed when pressure differences between the interior of the housing and the environment occur that are below the bursting pressure and when gas passes through the membrane section.
Abstract:
A gas turbine combustion system for burning air and fuel into exhaust gases. The gas turbine combustion system may include a combustor, a turbine nozzle integral with the combustor for providing the air to the combustor, and a fuel injector for providing the fuel to the combustor. The turbine nozzle and the fuel injector are positioned within the combustor such that a mixture of the air and the fuel flows in a first direction and the exhaust gases flow in a second direction.
Abstract:
In a method for controlling the operation of an internal combustion engine, a target torque to be produced is determined in several steps: In a first step a torque requested by a user is determined and modified in subsequent steps by different functions, which reproduce the influences of at least one continuously determined working and/or operating parameter of the engine on the torque that is actually produced, in such a way that at the end of the steps the target torque required during the engine operation is defined and the engine operation and the determination of the working and/or operating parameter are monitored for errors. If errors occur, diagnostic values that describe or indicate the errors are generated and used to modify, in particular limit the target torque. The diagnostic values are individually assigned to the individual steps to modify the determination or modification of the torque performed in each step.
Abstract:
A system and method for processing data is disclosed. In one embodiment, a data moving processor comprises a code memory coupled to a code fetch circuit and a decode circuit coupled to the code fetch circuit. An address stack is coupled to the decode circuit and configured to store address data. A general purpose stack is coupled to the decode circuit and configured to store other data. The data moving processor uses data from the general purpose stack to perform calculations. The data moving processor uses address data from the address stack to identify source and destination memory locations. The address data may be used to drive an address line of a memory during a read or write operation. The address stack and general purpose stack are separately controlled using bytecode.

Abstract:
An air filter, particularly an air filter for an internal combustion engine, having a housing with an unfiltered air inlet and a filtered air outlet. A round filter element is sealingly disposed between the unfiltered air inlet and the filtered air outlet. In addition, an adsorber element provided with adsorbent particles is disposed on an interior wall of the housing such that the adsorber element is arranged within the round filter element.
Abstract:
A retention assembly secures a hydrocarbon trap within an air intake path of an internal combustion engine. The hydrocarbon trap is positioned within a first air tube, such as an outlet duct of a clean air filter. A second air tube, such as an inlet portion of a clean air duct assembly, is fitted over a portion of the first air tube to enclose the hydrocarbon trap within the first air tube. A clamp is fitted over both the first and second air tubes. A plurality of radially-extending, circumferentially-spaced protrusions that are formed on an inner surface of the second air tube pass through a respective plurality of apertures formed in the first air tube and, under radial compression exerted by the clamp, engage an outer surface of the hydrocarbon trap, thereby securing the trap within the first air tube.
