Abstract: A valve cartridge for a magnet valve has a capsule, an armature movable within the capsule, a valve insert, and a valve body. One end of the valve insert inserted into the capsule, and a valve seat of the valve body inserted into a second end of the valve insert. The armature moves a plunger within the valve insert. The plunger has a base body and a closing body. A closing element of the closing body sealingly plunges into the valve seat. The base body includes an equalization groove, which enables volume equalization between a sealing region and an armature chamber. The plunger has a closed cylindrical outer contour on the end thereof facing the armature, which forms a radial guide of the plunger in the valve insert, and an axial recess, which overlaps with the equalization groove and is connected to the armature chamber via a radial recess.

The vehicle motion detecting apparatus 100 of the present invention has a motion detecting section 10 that detects a motion of a vehicle and a malfunction detecting section 20 that detects a malfunction of the motion detecting section 10, and is characterized in that the motion detecting section 10 is a 6-axis inertial sensor as the first multi-axis inertial sensor that is capable of detecting accelerations in directions of three axes and angular velocities about three axes.
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for adjusting a fuel/air ratio of an internal combustion engine (10), comprising a catalyst volume (26) with a first catalyst partial volume (26.1) and a second catalyst partial volume (26.2). The second catalyst partial volume (26.2) is arranged downstream from the first catalyst partial volume (26.1). An actual filling level of an exhaust gas constituent in the catalyst volume (26) is calculated from operating parameters of the internal combustion engine (10) and the exhaust system (14) using a computing model, and is adjusted to a nominal value by modifying the fuel/air ratio. The adjustment is carried out first for the second catalyst partial volume (26.2) and only later for the first catalyst partial volume (26.1).

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for operating a rotational speed sensor of a motor vehicle with a signal encoder ring having a plurality of magnet elements arranged uniformly over its circumference with alternating orientation, and with a signal receiver having at least two sensor elements arranged uniformly apart from one another for sensing magnetic fields of the magnets. Information bits are generated based on magnetic field strengths detected by the sensor elements and made available as a rotational speed information signal. At a low rotational speed, an additional rotational speed information signal is generated and added to the rotational speed information signal. The additional signal comprises additional rotational speed pulses inserted between two normal rotational speed pulses. As a result, a plurality of rotational speed pulses are available per period of the encoder ring and a higher resolution of determination of the speed becomes possible.
