| 20090082944 | Process for controlling an internal combustion engine - A process for controlling an internal combustion engine, in which an actual position of a reciprocating gas valve is detected by a position sensor, a positional deviation is calculated from the actual position and a zero position, a total length change of the reciprocating gas valve is calculated as a function of the temperature of the reciprocating gas valve, a valve clearance of the reciprocating gas valve is determined from the positional deviation and the total length change, and the further operation of the internal combustion engine is determined on the basis of the valve clearance. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20100239360 | Drive train connection for vehicles - A drive train connection has a shaft, a joint, particularly a constant velocity joint, and a coupling device. The coupling device is a planetary gear mechanism having a hollow wheel, at least one planet wheel and a sun wheel. The shaft and the sun wheel have corresponding locking means oriented in the axial direction. The sun wheel, together with the joint, can be screwed onto the shaft or unscrewed from the shaft by turning the hollow wheel. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20100247233 | Longitudinal axial securing means for permanently securing a drive-train connection of a vehicle, and a drive-train connection - A longitudinal axial securing device for permanently securing a drive-train connection of a vehicle forms the longitudinal axial securing device as a coupling device, which includes at least one latching tooth. The latching tooth is capable of being inserted radially into the drive-train connection. For this purpose the coupling means includes a tooth support in addition to the at least one latching tooth, the at least one latching tooth being formed in one piece with the tooth support. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20110035132 | METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLING AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A method for automatically controlling an internal combustion engine, in which an axial displacement (s(t)) and an angle of rotation (w(t)) of a gas-exchange valve are measured during a valve stroke. A displacement deviation is computed from the displacement (s(t)) relative to a reference valve, and an angle of rotation deviation is computed from an initial value and an end value of the angle or rotation. The further operation of the internal combustion engine is set on the basis of the displacement deviation and the angle of rotation deviation. | 02-10-2011 |
