Abstract: A switching valve for an internal combustion engine having an adjustable compression ratio. The switching valve includes a switching element having a groove, and a sleeve-shaped connecting section, which has a first bore, which connects the switching valve with a first hydraulic fluid line, a second bore, which connects the switching valve with a second hydraulic fluid line, and a venting bore, which connects the switching valve to a venting duct. The switching element is guided so as to be movable in the connecting section by forming a gap between the surface of the switching element and a corresponding guide face of the connecting section. In a first switched position of the switching valve, the groove connects the first hydraulic fluid line to a venting duct. In a second switched position, the groove connects the second hydraulic fluid line to the venting duct.

Abstract: A method is provided for examining the leaktightness of a closed housing of an electrical component. This method includes flooding the housing with a gas mixture that contains a high proportion of an inert gas and a low residual proportion of a gas that can be detected by a measuring probe. During the flooding process, gas that is located inside the housing is forced out of the housing. The method proceeds by determining any leak in the housing by detecting gas escaping from the housing, installing the electrical component when the housing is proven to be leaktight, with the inert gas remaining in the housing.

Abstract: A method for starting a motor vehicle engine includes measuring the profile of a rotational speed of an engine shaft of the motor vehicle engine. An estimated rotation speed of the engine shaft is determined that is expected to be present after one working cycle of the next cylinder to be fired. The estimated rotational speed is compared with a resonant rotational speed range of a vibration damper. Where the vibration damper is configured as a dual-mass flywheel and resonant vibrations occur in the vibration damper within the resonant rotational speed range. If the estimated rotational speed is within the resonant rotational speed range, at least one of introduction parameters for the introduction of a fluid to be introduced into the cylinder or an ignition time of the cylinder is changed so as to change the estimated rotational speed to be outside the resonant rotational speed range.
