  • Patent number: 8275497
    Abstract: A method and device for assisting in driving a vehicle, particularly a motor vehicle, having a surroundings detector for detecting at least a partial area of the surroundings of the vehicle, an output device for the output of information concerning the vehicle surroundings obtained from the surroundings detection to a driver, and an evaluation unit for determining a risk level based on the vehicle-surroundings information. To facilitate driving of the vehicle, it is provided that at least a portion of the vehicle-surroundings information provided for determining the risk level, and the risk level determined by the evaluation unit are output continuously by the output device to the driver during operation of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 6896198
    Abstract: An injector, especially for common rail injection systems of Diesel engines, has a nozzle needle, a control piston for actuating the nozzle needle, a valve that actuates the control piston and that is triggered by via an outlet throttle and an inlet throttle, and a hydraulic stop for the control piston, such that the flow from the inlet throttle to the outlet throttle at the narrowest cross section can additionally be throttled. The control piston is embodied conically on its offset top side oriented toward the outlet throttle or the inlet throttle.

  • Patent number: 6674351
    Abstract: In an electromagnet having an armature, in particular for use in a solenoid valve, which includes a solenoid coil, a magnet core which passes through the solenoid coil and has at least one pole face, an armature which is supported perpendicularly to the at least one pole face of the magnet core so as to be able to slide and has an armature plate facing the pole face and an armature pin that projects from the armature plate and is supported so as to be able to slide and rotate, and an adjusting arrangement that is formed on the electromagnet and/or on the armature and adjust the armature plate to a predetermined rotational position, it is proposed that at least one first cutout which is radially offset from the armature pin and formed in the armature plate, and at least one second cutout which is situated in the at least one pole face of the magnet core and assigned to the first cutout, be provided as adjusting arrangement; the second cutout magnetically interacting with the first cutout in response to the sol

  • Publication number: 20030145833
    Abstract: A device for fastening a fuel injector in the cylinder head of an internal combustion engine includes a fuel injector having the diameter d0, a fastening screw screwed into the cylinder head, and a forklike clamping pad, penetrated by this fastening screw, with two tines of length l2 and spacing d2. The shaft of the fuel injector narrows in the direction of the injection nozzle to a diameter d1, and the narrowed shaft is provided at one point with opposed extensions; the width l1 at this point does not exceed the original diameter d0 of the fuel injector.

  • Patent number: 6517047
    Abstract: A control valve for a fuel injection nozzle, having a control chamber, into which a fluid conduit discharges, and a valve element, which rests on a valve seat in the control chamber, so that the fluid conduit is closed. An armature plate, which is disposed in a damping chamber and has a pressure piece that cooperates with the valve element, and an armature coil. The armature, formed by the pressure piece and the armature plate is prevented from bouncing in response to a closing motion. For that purpose, an overflow conduit is provided between the control chamber and the damping chamber.
