Abstract: In a method for operating an internal combustion engine, a computer program product, a computer program, and a control and/or regulation device for the internal combustion engine, the internal combustion engine is allowed to be operated using an enriched air/fuel mixture, without exceeding a rich combustion limit of the internal combustion engine. In the process, a setpoint value for a variable characterizing the air/fuel mixture is specified in at least one operating state of the internal combustion engine. A value of at least one variable characterizing the quality of combustion is determined. The determined value for the at least one variable characterizing the quality of combustion is compared to a first specified threshold value. If the determined value for the at least one variable characterizing the quality of combustion deviates from the first specified threshold value by an amount that exceeds a second specified threshold value, then the setpoint value is corrected.

Abstract: A texturing machine for draw texturing a plurality of synthetic multi-filament yarns and which includes a plurality of side by side processing stations. Each of the processing stations comprises a plurality of processing units for advancing, texturing, drawing, and winding the yarn. At least one of the processing units is driven by an electrical individual drive, with the individual drives of the processing units of adjacent processing stations being controlled by a common group frequency changer. To enable a separate connection and disconnection of the individual drives with a simultaneous group control, the electrical individual drive of each processing unit includes an asynchronous unit and a synchronous unit. In the case of a predetermined desired frequency, this permits an automatic startup and maintenance of the desired frequency, which leads to a high degree of uniformity of the yarn treatment in each processing station.
