Abstract: A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines having at least one pump element comprising a housing, a cylinder liner in the housing, a pump piston operative in the cylinder liner, a recess in the cylinder liner having a radial entrance, for a control slide which controls injection onset during axial displacement on the pump piston. In the vicinity of the entrance to the recess which discharges into the pump work chamber, an apron is disposed on the control slide or on the cylinder liner, in order to cover a portion of a radial three-dimensional gap present between the control slide and the cylinder liner. By this means, the diverted fuel stream that is reflected by the side walls can be interrupted and reflected at least one additional time, so as thereby to reduce its kinetic energy.

Abstract: In an apparatus for generating pre-injection quantities in unit fuel injectors for Diesel engines, including a pre-injection slide that generates a pronounced pressure intensification for a pre-injection in a pressure chamber closed off with respect to the high-pressure side and opens towards the injection line is slidably supported in a guide bore. The pre-injection slide is exposed to the injection pressure of an element chamber in such a way that after the execution of a partial stroke, which is responsible for the pre-injection quantity, upon further movement the pre-injection pressure chamber is opened toward the element chamber and thereby relieved, and by the ensuing movement of the pre-injection slide until the end of the stroke, a pre-determinable capacity that enables an injection pause is formed.

Abstract: An electrically operated coffee making machine wherein a filter holder for a removable filter is mounted in the housing for pivotal movement about a vertical axis between operative and inoperative positions. The handle of the filter in the filter holder is received in a recess of the housing when the filter holder assumes its operative position in which the outlet of a riser discharges hot water into the supply of comminuted coffee beans in a bag within the filter. The bottom wall of the filter has an outlet which permits freshly brewed coffee to flow through the centrally located opening of a flat cover into a coffee pot when the latter rests on a heating platform on the base of the housing. A pivotable valving element is biased by a spring to seal the outlet in the bottom wall of the filter when the pot and its cover are removed, and a pivotable actuator is mounted in the housing below the recess to pivot the valving element to open position as soon as it is engaged by the flat upper side of the cover, i.e.

Abstract: A fuel injection pump, for use with a supercharged internal combustion engine, is provided with a full-load stop that is adjustable by means of a stepper motor in dependence upon operating parameters such as engine speed and manifold pressure. An electrical control device for the stepper motor is housed in a casing which is flange-mounted on the fuel injection pump and cooled by fuel. Electrical transducers for engine speed and manifold pressure are also mounted on the fuel injection pump.

Abstract: A fuel injection pump for internal combustion engines, in particular an in-line injection pump for Diesel engines, is proposed having an injection quantity governor and an electrically driven feed pump, in which in order to assure an emergency shutoff in the event of a malfunction of the injection quantity governor, a check valve, the forward flow direction of which is toward a suction chamber filled with fuel by the feed pump, is disposed between the pressure-side outlet of the feed pump and the suction chamber. An emergency shutoff device responding to a malfunction switches off the feed pump drive, so that because of the lack of feed pressure the check valve closes and blocks off the suction chamber. The engine comes to a stop, as soon as a partial vacuum is established in the suction chamber, which occurs as soon as several revolutions later.

Abstract: A hydraulic brake system having a hydraulic cylinder including a piston used for brake pressure modulation disposed between a master brake cylinder and at least one wheel brake cylinder in which the piston of the hydraulic cylinder is actuated mechanically by an electric-motor-driven centrifugal positioner.

It is also possible to embody the hydraulic cylinder and centrifugal positioner such that a brake boosting or anti-slip regulation takes place upon actuation of the centrifugal positioner. By the use of a centrifugal positioner, the piston can be displaced quickly and very precisely for either increasing or reducing brake pressure.

Abstract: A circuit arrangement with a flow-measuring probe in the form of a hot wire is proposed, the output signal of which is proportional to the operating voltage. For this purpose, the circuit arrangement comprises an oscillator which drives a bistable flipflop which, in turn, opens or closes a switch connecting a bridge circuit and operating voltage under cycle control.

Abstract: Horizontal and vertical wipe signals are additively modified to vary the boundary between an inserted picture to be faded in and the previously displayed picture to be faded out as part of the fading transition. The resulting modified wipe signals are compared with a zero voltage reference signal to determine intervals, respectively in horizontal and vertical scan, during which the substituted picture is to be switched in. The picture switching signal is also used to substitute, during that same interval, an inverted wipe signal instead of the non-inverted wipe signal. The composite wipe signal thus produced is then compared with a border width control voltage to produce horizontal and vertical border-defining pulses respectively centered on the flanks of the picture switching pulse. The horizontal and vertical border defining pulses are multiplicatively combined to produce the ultimate border defining pulse for inserting the border between the two picture contents.

Abstract: An electromagnetically actuatable fuel injection valve which serves to supply fuel to a mixture-compressing internal combustion engine having externally supplied ignition. The fuel injection valve includes a valve housing with a mouth piece in which a valve seat body is disposed, two magnet coils two cores and one armature, which has a spherical guide section and is connected to a valve needle. The spherical guide section is slidably supported with its circumference in a guide bore of the valve seat body and in its stroke movement away from the core is limited by a tapering stop opening which adjoins the guide bore. A plastic bushing is mounted on a guide step of the valve seat body and is pressed by a spring against the core end face, thereby preventing a dirct flow of fuel to the remnant air gap on the armature, as a result of which the depositing of soil particles in the gap is avoided.

Abstract: To prevent slip-out or slide-out of a vehicle operating in a curve, the lateral stability or, respectively, instability of the vehicle is determined and, if instability or incipient instability is sensed, the vehicle is automatically braked, and/or engine torque of the vehicle engine is reduced. A reference parameter K, which may be variable in accordance with vehicle operating and operation conditions, is compared with a quotient of change of lateral forces applied to the front (V) and hind or rear (H) axles with respect to the change of the slip angle (.delta..sub.V, .delta..sub.H), and if the change of lateral force (.DELTA..sub.S /.DELTA..sub..delta.) at the respective axles, and passes the reference K. The respective axles can then be together or selectively braked in accordance with the extent of deviation from said comparison reference K and/or engine torque also reduced.
