20130132905 | REMOTE PAINT MIXING CONTROLLER - A virtual canvas is displayed at a graphical user interface of a touch-enabled device, a virtual canvas. A plurality of color indicia is displayed. A first input that selects a first selected color from the plurality of color indicia is received. A first positional input indicating a first position at which the first selected color is displayed is also received. A second input that selects a second selected color from the plurality of color indicia is received. A second positional input indicating a second position at which the second selected color is displayed is received at the virtual canvas. A mixed color based on first selected color and the second selected color is generated if the first position overlaps the second position. The mixed color is sent from the touch-enabled device to a computing device through a network. | 05-23-2013 |

20080283026 | FUEL SYSTEM, ESPECIALLY OF THE COMMON RAIL TYPE, FOR AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A fuel system for an internal combustion engine includes at least one first fuel pump and a pressure region into which the fuel pump pumps and which communicates with an elastic volume reservoir. The elastic volume reservoir has a characteristic pressure/volume curve, which is defined by at least two points. It is proposed that a first point is defined by a first volume at a first pressure that is somewhat greater than a vapor pressure of the fuel at ambient temperature, and that a second point is defined by a second volume and a second pressure in the pressure region that corresponds to a maximum pressure; the difference between the first and second volumes corresponds at least approximately and at least to a value by which the volume of the fuel in the pressure region decreases upon cooling down from a maximum temperature to ambient temperature. | 11-20-2008 |
20090281710 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR OPERATING AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A method and a device for operating an internal combustion engine to perform a lambda regulation without using a lambda sensor. Fuel is injected for combustion in a combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine. A first quantity of the internal combustion engine is ascertained, which allows a conclusion to be drawn about the behavior of an output quantity of the internal combustion engine, in particular of a torque. The method includes the following:

20120296554 | Method for operating an internal combustion engine - A method for operating an internal combustion engine in which a speed-based feature of the internal combustion engine, which is correlated with an indicated mean effective pressure of the fuel, is determined during the warm-up of the internal combustion engine and an ideal fuel quantity, which is to be injected into at least one combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine during the warm-up, is ascertained therefrom. | 11-22-2012 |
20130298875 | METHOD FOR OPERATING A MOTOR VEHICLE - A method for operating a motor vehicle having a hybrid drive which includes an internal combustion engine having an injection system and an electric motor, in which in an operating situation, in which the motor vehicle is driven by the electric motor and the internal combustion engine is turned off, a level of the fuel pressure in the injection system is increased by the electric motor to prepare a start of the internal combustion engine. | 11-14-2013 |
20150068493 | METHOD FOR OPERATING AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE IN AN IDLE MODE - A method for operating an internal combustion engine in an idle mode, in which an ignition angle and/or an air quantity of the internal combustion engine is influenced and/or is modified as a function of an idle rotation speed of the internal combustion engine. The ignition angle and/or the air quantity and/or a fuel quantity for at least one combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine is modified as a function of at least one variable characterizing a combustion event in the combustion chamber. | 03-12-2015 |
