  • Patent number: 6601573
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting selection of a pump assembly (25, 32), for instance a fuel pump assembly, in which at least two pump assemblies are provided. By means of a control unit (12), the lambda signal is scanned continuously by means of lambda probes (21). As a function of the lambda signal ascertained, the maximum fuel injection quantity is limited to the supply quantity of a fuel pump assembly (25, 32), and simultaneously a limitation of the air quantity to the air quantity corresponding to the maximum fuel injection quantity is effected. The limitation of the maximum fuel injection quantity and of the associated air quantity is effected via a throttle valve element (13.1), which is triggered by the control unit (12).

  • Patent number: 6296430
    Abstract: The invention relates to a push-in plug (1) made from plastics and having at least one shank (2) to be introduced into a drilled hole, on which shank (2) there are located expansion segments (4) lying opposite one another in pairs, which are braced against and wedge against the wall of the drilled hole when a tensile force acts on the shank (2). For improvement of the holding force, the expansion segment (4) is formed by a wedge element (5), which is held on the outer surface (3) of the shank (2) so as to be axially displaceable and which is displaced, when the push-in plug (1) is pushed into the drilled hole, into a position lying in front of an inclined surface (6) formed on the shank (2), which inclined surface (6) rises towards the insertion end (14) of the push-in plug (1).
