Abstract: Direct-injected, four-cycle internal combustion engines can be operated advantageously with charge stratification, with the fuel being injected into the combustion chamber during the compression stroke of the piston in the cylinder as a conical fuel stream. To ignite the stratified mixture cloud, an igniting spark jumps between the electrodes of a spark plug and thus contacts an ignitable mixture. In order to guarantee sufficient preparation and stable ignition and combustion of the fuel/air mixture in the long term, it is proposed that the electrodes be located outside a conical jacket of the fuel stream and that the combustion chamber roof be so designed that the conical jacket is formed during injection between the injector and the spark plug close to the wall of the combustion chamber roof. The mixture guided in the conical jacket is deflected outward in the direction of the electrodes as a result.

Abstract: The piston (1) has a ball receptacle (14) for the rod head (4) of the piston rod (2) of a swash plate compressor. For absorbing particularly high pressures the rod head (4) has a relatively large diameter, so that the ball receptacle (14) extends close to the circumference of the piston (1). The piston wall (15) laterally surrounding the rod head (4) has a circumferential indentation (21) which, in the inwards direction, forms an uninterrupted undercut enclosing the spherical rod head (4).

Abstract: A method for controlling a variable turbine geometry of an exhaust gas turbocharger which supercharges an internal combustion engine for driving a motor vehicle. The turbine geometry is set as a function of the operating load of the internal combustion engine between the opening position in idling and the closed position in full load operation. The turbine geometry is brought into an operating position predetermined for the prevailing load point. To improve the non-steady-state operating performance of the exhaust gas turbocharger and the internal combustion engine, in particular during long acceleration phases of the motor vehicle, the turbine geometry is guided during a switching pause for changing gear levels of the motor vehicle into a switching pause position which is independent of the operating load. In the switching pause position a reduced flow cross section of the turbine for the exhaust gas stream is set.

Abstract: A new vehicle electrical system has a first lower voltage level and a second higher voltage level. The new vehicle electrical system comprises an ignition switch, a generator having an exciter circuit and a voltage controller, and a multi-chopper having several chopper stages. The voltage controller supplies energy to the exciter circuit via the ignition switch in order to adjust the first lower voltage level to a rated level of U1. The multi-chopper is connected between the battery and the generator, thereby adjusting the second higher voltage level to a rated level of U2 based on the number of chopper stages and their actuation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a semiconductor device which includes a packaged electrical component such as an IC chip, wherein terminal posts are realized within the chip area without additional wafer surface being required beyond the chip edge. A direct feedthrough of the individual electrical connections by way of downwardly extending terminal posts that are connected to bonding pads at the top of the chip results in a small lead length and thus lesser parasitic influences, which in turn results in optimum conditions for use at super-high frequencies. Furthermore, a process for making the semiconductor device offers the option of forming deep vertical trenches on the chip edge and to thus implement separation etching for dicing. During this process, the coverage of the side surface with encapsulating material effects a passivation on the chip edge without further outlay. Expensive rewiring of the connections on the bottom side of the chip is not necessarily due to the terminal posts.

Abstract: The invention concerns heterostructure field effect transistors (HFET's) with high charge carrier concentration in the two-dimensional charge-carrier gas. The n-HFET of the heterostructure layer sequence contains several zones with formed 2DEG while the p-HFET contains several zones with formed 2DHG, which can be gate-controlled with a transistor gate, without mutually screening each other. At the same time, more charge carriers n.sub.s with high mobility are available through several channels. Higher transconductances for transistors are obtained with this, resulting in the promise of shorter switching times, especially for integrated circuits. In addition, other characteristics that are critical for the high-frequency technology, such as transit frequency and maximum operating frequency, can also be increased.
