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.
Abstract:
For operation of a motor vehicle (2) having a propulsion system (4), when a critical operating state (STATE_CRIT) occurs and/or an operating error (ERROR) of the motor vehicle (2) and/or of the propulsion system (4) of the motor vehicle (2) occurs, the critical operating state (STATE_CRIT) and/or the operating error (ERROR) are signalled to a driver of the motor vehicle (2) by reaction of the propulsion system (4) and/or by reaction of the motor vehicle (2) which can be perceived by the driver.
Abstract:
A process provides for the safe operation of a printing machine. The printing machine has a first cylinder driven by a first motor, and a second cylinder driven by a second motor. The first cylinder accepts sheets of paper from the second cylinder or delivers them to the second cylinder by a gripper system. In the case of a deviation in the synchronized running between the cylinders, the gripper system is retracted at least in part far enough into the first cylinder that the possibility of a collision of the gripper system with the second cylinder is eliminated.
Abstract:
A duct system suitable for use as an intake manifold for an internal combustion engine, including flap valves (13) for selective opening and closing of the ducts. The positions of the valves are continuously adjustable in order to produce a swirl in the flow of combustion air. To achieve this, a high degree of angular precision is required in the positioning of the valves. Intake manifold manufacturing tolerances need to be compensated during assembly of the valves. A valve adjusting mechanism is provided in mechanical couplings (23) of the valve linkage between the position adjusting motor (19) and the flap valves (13).
Abstract:
In a method for measuring lift and for adjusting a valve, easily focused, high-energy radiation is used, which permits a contact-free measuring operation. The radiation is directed at the valve-closure member that is permanently joined to the valve needle in the installed valve. By performing a differential measurement, thus a measurement in both end positions of the valve needle, the lift of the valve needle can be determined and, thus, corrected. The measurement is performed on a dry valve. The method is particularly suited for electromagnetically actuated fuel-injection valves of mixture-compressing internal-combustion engines having externally supplied ignition.
Abstract:
A fuel injection valve for fuel injection systems of internal combustion engines is composed of two main components. An inner value part includes all the individual components that lie in the immediate flow path of the fuel while an outer plastic part is formed mainly by a solenoid subassembly and a plastic shroud. The valve part includes a thin-walled non-magnetic sleeve which is very sensitive to mechanical and chemical effects. Therefore, the valve part is manufactured and adjusted separately from the plastic part. The complete valve part is subsequently slid into a through opening of the plastic part, a connection being achieved between the plastic part and the value part by engagement, a latching or a clipping.
Abstract:
A method for producing a nozzle holder for an injection valve, having a valve closing member comprising an armature and a valve closing body, disposed within a nozzle holder. The nozzle holder has a bore which is provided with at least one guide protrusion on end and that extends at least partway around the bore. The guide protrusion is stamped into a guide segment of the nozzle holder. The injection valve is especially suited for fuel injection systems of mixture-compressing internal combustion engines with externally supplied ignition.
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 data moving processor includes 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:
A method for reducing parameter data to be transferred in the case of uploading and/or downloading parameter settings between field devices and/or a control station, wherein the parameter data include information concerning an operating state of the field device and/or information concerning a process variable registered with the field device and/or identification data of the field device. Data present after a re-setting procedure or during the start-up of the field device are established as standard parameter data, wherein, for each parameter, modification information is stored concerning whether such parameter deviates from the standard parameter data, only such parameter data are transmitted, in the case of which a deviation from the standard parameter data is ascertained via the modification information.
