  • Patent number: 10100784
    Abstract: A supercharged internal combustion engine includes an intake tract and a throttle element. Between the compressor and the throttle element, the intake tract is gas-conductively connected on the low-pressure side to a first line and on the high-pressure side to a second line via an overrun air recirculation valve. A fuel tank having an activated carbon filter is provided for supplying fuel to the internal combustion engine, the fuel tank being gas-conductively connected via a valve to a tank venting valve. Between the compressor and the throttle element, the intake tract is gas-conductively connected on the low-pressure side to a third line and on the high-pressure side to a fourth line via the tank venting valve. The overrun air recirculation valve and the tank venting valve are arranged in parallel in terms of flow and the first and third lines and the second and fourth lines are, at least in sections, the same lines.

  • Patent number: 9751375
    Abstract: A driven axle of a dual-track vehicle is provided in which a wheel-guiding control rod on the body of the vehicle or on a cross member connected to the body of the vehicle is stabilized spatially in an slightly elastic fashion via a control rod bearing on the body. The control rod of the right-hand wheel is additionally connected to the control rod of the left-hand wheel via a coupling rod. The coupling rod is exclusively supported on the left-hand and right-hand control rod, preferably in the vicinity of the respective control rod bearing on the body of the vehicle that is disposed in an offset fashion in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle relative to the associated wheel bearing. A mechanical deep-pass filter is provided in the coupling rod and/or in the connection between the coupling rod and a control rod stabilized relative thereto.

  • Patent number: 6713894
    Abstract: A system for supplying electricity to a motor vehicle using a capacitor having a maximum value greater than the maximum value of a rechargeable battery. A transformer provides discharging of the capacitor from its maximum voltage down to the maximum voltage of the battery in order to provide excess energy in a short period of time to effectively charge the battery and simultaneously increase the service life of the chargeable battery.
