  • Patent number: 10794476
    Abstract: Hydraulic control device for an automated dual clutch transmission having first and second clutches with first and second sub-transmissions and also a gear shifting system. The hydraulic control device has a regulating unit that predetermines at least one regulated pressure and/or one regulated volume flow for actuating the first and second clutches and shifting system. The hydraulic control device has a switching device that is arranged between the regulating unit and the clutches or the shifting system, switching the regulated pressure or volume flow to the clutches or the shifting system. The regulating unit includes a first regulating valve and a second regulating valve that is connected to an oil pressure supply having a system pressure regulator and an electric oil pump.

  • Patent number: 6910457
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for switching off an internal combustion engine and to an internal combustion engine suitable for carrying out said method. Here, after a switching off command for an internal combustion engine, the throttle valve in the air intake system is again opened to enable a relatively large amount of fresh air to be sucked into the combustion chambers of the internal combustion engine. This considerably increases the gas forces in the combustion chambers while the engine slows to a standstill, so that the internal combustion engine can be switched off in a controlled manner. At the same time, products of combustion, which may possibly still be present, are removed from the combustion chambers of the internal combustion engine. As a result, the preconditions for directly starting the internal combustion engine without a starter are created.
