  • Patent number: 7953542
    Abstract: A computer implemented method and control device for regulating a gasoline engine is provided. A control device automatically records a characteristic of Lambda values and loads a test phase during an operation of the gasoline engine having activated transition compensation. It automatically extracts relevant load changes as a function of the determined characteristics, a load change describing a change from a first load to a second load that differs from the first load. Further, the control device automatically implements a classification of the extracted load changes as a function of specifiable classification criteria and assigns at least one Lambda value to each of the load changes. The control device automatically determines a quality value for each of extracted load changes as a function of a deviation of the at least one assigned Lambda value from a specifiable setpoint Lambda value.

  • Patent number: 7950128
    Abstract: A device (100) for assembling a pneumatic booster (200) wherein a cover (203) of the booster is housed in a support (101) and a cylindrical cap (104) whose internal volume (107) is greater than a volume of a cylinder (206) of the booster, covers the cylinder placed on the cover. A gearing element (110) of the device rotates two sets of rollers (109A and 109B) about the booster and an eccentric (118) controlled by the gearing element allows an oscillating movement of the rollers against a wall of the booster. The swaging is achieved by alternately applying the rollers (109A) and (109B) and an angle of attack (114A) of the first rollers is greater than an angle of attack (114B) of the second rollers.

  • Patent number: 7950413
    Abstract: An electromagnetic pressure regulating valve device for regulating a hydraulic pressure including at least one pressure regulating valve which includes a solenoid part having at least one bobbin holding an electric coil, a coil core and a movably guided armature; a valve part having at least one supply connection, one return connection, one load connection and one actuating element operated by the armature and cooperating with a valve seat; and an electronic part having at least one pressure sensor for measuring the hydraulic pressure present at the load connection. At least the pressure sensor is situated on an end of the solenoid part facing the valve part upstream from the electronic part. Positioning the pressure sensor close to the valve part may substantially reduce the filter effect of the transmission link, and the hydraulic pressure to be measured is therefore transmittable free of errors up to a much higher cutoff frequency.
