Abstract: A method and data processing appliance for the producing and outputting a multi-dimensional chart having at least two graphs, wherein for each of the graphs which are to be presented an area between the graph and an abscissa is provided with a respective fill color or with a respective fill pattern, the graphs and the associated areas are presented in presentation planes located above one another, and wherein a respective graph and the associated area in a lower presentation plane are concealed by a graph and the associated area in a higher presentation plane. Here, the chart is produced and output in sections, wherein for each section of the abscissa a first of the graphs and the area associated with the graphs are presented using a higher value in a lower presentation plane and a second of the graphs and the associated area thereof are presented using a lower value in a higher presentation plane. As a result, each graph and a portion of its area are visible in each section.

Abstract: An oil catching system for an internal-combustion engine, particularly for an opposed cylinder engine, has an oil catching housing arranged below a crankcase. An oil suction space is provided in the oil catching housing from which the lubricating oil is transported by way of a main oil pump equipped with an oil suction pipe to consuming devices. At least one oil collecting space adjoins the oil suction space, in which oil collecting space the lubricating oil coming from the consuming devices is returned by way of an oil pipe. The oil suction space is separated from the oil collecting space by at least one oil separating wall, in which at least one passage opening is arranged which can be controlled by way of a flap, by way of which passage opening the lubricating oil can flow from the oil collecting space into the oil suction space.

Abstract: The invention relates to an oil collecting arrangement for an internal-combustion engine having an oil collecting housing arranged below a crankcase in which an oil suction space is constructed and at least one oil collecting space adjoins the oil suction space. The oil suction space is separated from the oil collecting space by at least one wall section in which at least one passage opening is arranged which can be controlled by way of a flap. The part of the wall section provided with the return opening is constructed as a plug-in oil separating wall which is fitted in between guiding ribs provided in the oil collecting housing.
