| 20090024287 | INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - Internal combustion engine with a power train, to which a torque of a starter can be transferred, wherein the power train is connected to the crankshaft of the internal combustion engine via a clutch, and in so doing, the clutch has an engaged position, wherein a drive torque from the starter can be transferred to the crankshaft, and a disengaged position, wherein the drive torque from the starter cannot be transferred to the crankshaft. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20090151349 | METHOD FOR OPERATING A COMPRESSOR - A method for operating a compressor, which supplies an internal combustion engine that is assigned to the compressor at its output end with air compressed to a boost pressure, in which the boost pressure is reducible by releasing the compressed air at least partially via a pressure release valve. The air released via the pressure release valve is used for driving a compressor wheel of the compressor. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090157285 | Method for operating an internal combustion engine, and control or regulating device for an internal combustion engine - In a method for operating a direct-injection internal combustion engine, a position of at least one piston inside a cylinder in which the combustion engine is at a standstill is determined; and a starting cylinder into which fuel is injected first is selected for a start following the standstill. An instantaneous charge of the starting cylinder is determined as a function of a duration of the standstill of the combustion engine. A distance (d) between the piston of the starting cylinder and a specified position of the piston is calculated. A minimum distance of the piston of the selected cylinder is determined as a function of the instantaneous charge; and another cylinder is selected as starting cylinder if the distance (d) between the piston of the starting cylinder and the specified position is less than the minimum distance. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20100332180 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETERMINING ONE OR MORE ROTATIONAL SPEEDS OF A TURBOCHARGING DEVICE, IN PARTICULAR FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A method is described for determining information about a rotational speed of a compressor, in particular a turbocharger, by providing a measuring signal, in particular a microwave measuring signal, which is directed at a compressor impeller of the compressor, so that the measuring signal is reflected on revolving blades of the compressor impeller, detecting the measuring signal reflected by one or more blades, and determining the information about the rotational speed as a function of the reflected measuring signal. | 12-30-2010 |
