  • Patent number: 7128026
    Abstract: In a method for controlling the heat in an internal combustion engine for a vehicle with a coolant circuit and actuable devices for influencing the heat balance of the internal combustion engine, wherein a coolant temperature and further operating parameters of the internal combustion engine are recorded, the actuable devices are operated as a function of the coolant temperature and the further operating parameters of the internal combustion engine in such a manner that an output value for determining a control variable is provided by means of a basic characteristic diagram as a function of the rotational speed and the load on the internal combustion engine, and this control value is corrected by means of a controller as a function of the coolant temperature and/or the further operating parameters.

  • Publication number: 20030085213
    Abstract: An apparatus according to the invention comprises a needle roll (1) and a perforated roll (2), between which a sheet-like structure (3) can be perforated and deformed. The needle roll (1) has a large number of needles (11), while the perforated roll (2) is provided with a large number of holes (21) to accommodate needles (11) of the needle roll (1). The needle roll (1) and the perforated roll (2) are formed and arranged such that during the perforating and deforming operations, each needle (11) in the perforating and deforming area penetrates into a hole (21) in the perforated roll (2). In this way, the sheet-like structure (3) located between them is not only perforated, but the edges of the holes in the sheet-like structure (3) are also shaped three-dimensionally in a controlled way between the needles (11) and the edges of the holes in the perforated roll (2).

  • Patent number: 4450818
    Abstract: A hydraulic injection-adjusting device for high pressure injection installations in auto-igniting internal combustion engines. Oil is supplied to operating chambers of the injection-adjusting device by means of a pressure supply pump with an electrically actuatable regulating valve being provided for controlling the flow of oil to inlet of the operating chambers. An electronic control unit is supplied on an input side which signals corresponding to current engine operating parameters with the control unit yielding on an output side thereof a desired value for the regulating valve to apply pressure in a controlled fashion to the injection-adjusting device. An arrangement is provided for measuring the actual value of the adjustment angle at the injection-adjusting device by constant answer-back line provides a feed of the actual value to the control unit.

  • Patent number: 4196496
    Abstract: A combing roller including a reversible pinned ring, a ring core and a cover plate mounted on the ring core, the ring core and the cover plate having operating surfaces for mutually supporting the ring, and a plurality of tightening elements radially spaced in the core and plate adjacent the operating surfaces for securing flanges on the plate and core against the edges of the width of the ring. Preferably the width of the ring is greater than the combined widths of the operating surfaces.
