20080236527Device for Modifying the Control Times of an Internal Combustion Engine10-02-2008
20080236530ADJUSTMENT DEVICE FOR ADJUSTING THE RELATIVE ROTATIONAL ANGLE POSITION OF A CAMSHAFT IN RELATION TO A CRANKSHAFT OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - An adjustment device (10-02-2008
20080264365Camshaft Adjuster - Traditional camshaft adjusters are connected to a lubricant circuit of an internal combustion engine. Lubricant flows which are too large flood the drive of the camshaft adjuster, which leads to needless churning losses in the drive and needless losses of the pump capacity of the lubricant for other structural components of the internal combustion engine. According to the invention, a flow element (10-30-2008
20080283009Camshaft Adjuster - Impurities of a lubricant in traditional camshaft adjusters can cause a problem, leading to impairment in the function and service life of the camshaft adjuster. In order to address this, flow channel areas are provided in the lubricant circuit, which include a dead chamber (11-20-2008
20080308054Camshaft Adjuster - A lubricant circuit of a camshaft adjuster is provided. In conventional camshaft adjusters, lubricant is supplied from a cylinder head to the camshaft adjuster via a supply channel (12-18-2008

20090038570CAMSHAFT ADJUSTER HAVING A VARIABLE RATIO GEAR UNIT - A camshaft adjuster (02-12-2009
20090050088CAMSHAFT ADJUSTER - A camshaft adjuster for adjusting the relative angular positions of a camshaft and a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine in accordance with a setting shaft is provided. In which the setting shaft is driven by a setting assembly and has a driving connection with an adjusting gear through a coupling. The drive moment is transmitted in the coupling by a radial extension (02-26-2009
20090120391Device For Varying The Control Times Of An Internal Combustion Engine - The invention relates to a device (05-14-2009
20090139478RECIPROCATING PISTON INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE WEAR OF A TRANSMISSION ELEMENT ARRANGED BETWEEN A CRANKSHAFT AND A CAMSHAFT - A method for determining a wear value of a transmission element between a crankshaft and a camshaft of a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine, in particular a timing chain or toothed belt, is provided. The camshaft is driven by the transmission element via a drive part, for example a camshaft gearwheel. In each case, at least one measurement value for the phase position of the drive part relative to the crankshaft is determined at time intervals during which the crankshaft drives the camshaft, and the wear value is determined from the difference between the measurement values.06-04-2009
20090199807METHOD FOR ADJUSTING A CAMSHAFT OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE AND INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE WITH AN ADJUSTABLE CAMSHAFT - A method for adjusting a camshaft of an internal combustion engine during a stop phase and during a subsequent new startup phase of the internal combustion engine. Such methods are used, in particular, in so-called start-stop designs for combustion engines. The camshaft controls intake valves and/or exhaust valves of the internal combustion engine and is adjustable by a camshaft adjuster. By a desired startup position of the camshaft adjuster, control time points of the intake valves and/or the exhaust valves are defined in which mechanical work necessary for starting the internal combustion engine is reduced and/or pollutant emissions of the internal combustion engine are reduced. In the method according to the invention it is provided that the camshaft adjuster is set in a desired stop position during the stop phase. During a first section of the startup phase, the camshaft adjuster is set from the desired stop position into the desired startup position. During a second section of the startup phase, a setting of the camshaft adjuster is performed as a function of measured operating parameters of the internal combustion engine. Furthermore, the invention relates to an internal combustion engine with a camshaft that can be adjusted by a camshaft adjuster.08-13-2009

20090276145SYNCHRONIZATION DEVICE FOR AN ENGINE - A synchronization device for an engine is provided that has a first active sensor and a second active sensor. The first active sensor is adapted to determine an angular position of a first shaft and the second active sensor is adapted to determine the angular position of a second shaft. The first active sensor and the second active sensor are adapted to provide information on the state of the angular position of the first shaft and the second shaft or the angular position of the first shaft and the phase position between the first shaft and the second shaft to the control device. In addition, the control device is adapted to provide a control signal for setting a given phase difference between the first and the second shaft.11-05-2009
