Abstract: A method of controlling exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) in a turbocharged compression-ignition engine system including an engine, an induction subsystem in upstream communication with the engine, an exhaust subsystem in downstream communication with the engine, a high pressure EGR path between the exhaust and induction subsystems upstream of a turbocharger turbine and downstream of a turbocharger compressor, and a low pressure EGR path between the exhaust and induction subsystems downstream of the turbocharger turbine and upstream of the turbocharger compressor. A target total EGR fraction for compliance with exhaust emissions criteria is determined, then a target HP/LP EGR ratio is determined to optimize other engine system criteria within the constraints of the determined target total EGR fraction.

Abstract: A glass melting plant having a fully electrically heated melt tank and a conditioning channel connected to the melt tank. In order to enable the recovery of wet waste without impairing the glass quality, in addition, a wet waste supply channel is provided, which opens laterally into the conditioning channel, for the melting of wet waste and for supplying the melted wet waste to the glass melt conducted in the conditioning channel. A corresponding method is provided for operating a glass melting plant.

Abstract: In the method for investigating the cause of a failure of a component of a drive machine, such as an internal combustion engine, an electric drive or a hybrid drive for example, in particular an emissions-related component of an internal combustion engine, in particular in a motor vehicle, the internal combustion engine supplies at least two characteristic values during operation. Each characteristic value is compared with a threshold value. Appropriate diagnosis messages are generated depending on the respective results of the comparisons. At least one diagnosis message indicates a failure. A potential cause or potential causes of the failure or failures is/are diagnosed and corresponding fault messages are generated on the basis of the diagnosis message or diagnosis messages. A position in a ranking is associated with each fault message, where the ranking represents the relative probabilities of the presence of the respective associated causes.

Abstract: The main part of the melt produced during laser welding of two housing parts along a circumferential edge is made to flow towards the printed circuit board by a predefined geometry, thus fixing the board in a form-fitting manner. The basic geometry is modified to prevent the melt from distributing in both directions in an uncontrolled manner and make it flow towards the inside of the housing in a targeted manner. The printed circuit board can thus be fixed and the housing sealed in a single operation. Less space is required on the printed circuit board since the support surfaces only affect the peripheral zone of the printed circuit board. The peripheral zone is a barrier zone since the individual printed circuit board is cut out of a panel. Due to the larger contact surface, prestress losses caused by creep of the plastic have no adverse effect.
