Abstract: An apparatus for measuring particulate matter in a flue gas or exhaust gas of a combustion process comprising means for transmitting a beam of light between an optical transmitter and an optical receiver. The light passes through two diametrically opposed light slits closed by transparent bodies in the wall of the tail pipe and crosses through a flow of exhaust gas carried in the tail pipe. The attenuation of intensity of the light beam is a measure of the particulate matter. When the measuring apparatus is used to measure a soot concentration in an exhaust gas of internal combustion engines of a vehicle, it is mounted directly on the tail pipe, and the transparent bodies are heated in the vicinity of the faces acted upon by the exhaust gas flow to a temperature above the soot burn-off temperature. As a result, adulteration of the measured value by soot deposits in the measurement path to the transparent bodies is prevented, and continuous operation of the measuring apparatus is assured.

Abstract: An apparatus to control an internal combustion engine in vehicles, containing a set point value transducer which is adjustable by means of a drive lever, a control motor driving a throttle valve, and control electronics which use the output signals from the set point value transducer to generate a control signal for the control motor. In order to maintain emergency operation in the event of a failure of the electric controls, an emergency operation system directly transmits the drive lever or gas pedal position to the throttle valve. To insure the engagement of the emergency operation system in the event of problem on the one hand, and to prevent additional friction being exerted on the control motor during normal operation on the other, the emergency operation system contains a coupling whose one coupling element is firmly fixed to the throttle valve and whose other coupling element is permanently attached to the drive lever.

Abstract: In a known injection valve having a movable valve element and a valve seat face located in a nozzle body, a cup-shaped injection port insert is provided downstream of the valve seat face. In the novel injection valve, the object is to avoid warping of the injection port insert and to adapt the idle volume to requirements. To increase the rigidity of the injection port insert, the bottom of the injection port insert has a dishlike indentation, which is remote from the movable valve element, so that a collecting chamber is formed between the movable valve element and the bottom. The injection valve is particularly suitable for fuel injection systems in internal combustion engines.

Abstract: A method is proposed for improving the operating behavior of motor vehicles driven by an internal combustion engine and especially to reduce jerking or bucking. The jerking, caused by rapid changes in engine torque, is damped by adapting the torque of the engine to the increase in output of the drive train of the vehicle. To this end, the deflection of the engine relative to the motor body is detected and used for vaying the fuel quantity metered to the engine. A differentiating member interposed between the engine and the body acts upon the fuel quantity adjusting device of the fuel metering device.

Abstract: An injection timing adjuster for internal combustion engines, by which a mutual rotational position of a driven shaft relative to a drive shaft is variable as a function of operating characteristics. The adjuster includes two pairs of cams serving as adjusting mechanisms, the adjusting cams are connected by bolts to intermediate elements, which in turn each are coupled, by one coupling pin, to two each hydraulically actuatable adjusting pistons disposed parallel to one another on one side of the adjuster. The adjusting pistons are guided in a piston holder, which has two lateral limiting faces, which together with two walls offstanding from the intermediate elements form a sliding guide for the intermediate elements. As a result of an improved sliding guidance, the injection timing adjuster can be used for transmitting higher drive outputs than previously in prior art adjusters.
