Abstract: A method for recognizing pre-ignitions in a gasoline engine which occur in the combustion chamber of the gasoline engine, independently of the ignition of a fuel-air mixture by a spark plug. In a method which reliably recognizes the formation of sporadically imminent pre-ignitions, a combustion chamber pressure which occurs prior or subsequent to the ignition point of the spark plug is evaluated for determining the pre-ignition.

Abstract: A method for adjusting the processing position of at least one processing device not clamping a product web to be processed within the context of longitudinal register control in a processing machine includes arranging the at least one processing device in a web section which is delimited by two clamping points. The method further includes applying an actuating variable for adjusting the processing position to the at least one processing device within the context of feedforward control, and calculating the actuating variable for adjusting the processing position on the basis of a register deviation expected from a control action of a tensile force control device for controlling the tensile force in the web section.

Abstract: A device and a method for generating a vacuum in a brake system of a vehicle equipped with a hybrid drive. The hybrid drive includes an internal combustion engine and at least one electric drive, which is selectively uncoupled from the internal combustion engine with the aid of a clutch. A vacuum pump having an adjustable pumping capacity is mechanically connected to the at least one electric drive.
Abstract: A drive-train system of a vehicle having at least one internal combustion engine, which may be started using an electric machine able to be coupled thereto via a clutch and controllable via an engine-speed controller. A control value of the engine-speed controller is detected toward the end of at least one startup operation of the internal combustion engine while the clutch is still subject to slip, and a comparison of the control value with a setpoint value is used to determine a value deviation, which is able to be compensated with the aid of a correction value in a renewed startup operation. Furthermore, a corresponding method is also described.
Abstract: A system and method applied to a communications network which transmits document portions in which an original document portion having an identifier portion and an information portion is replaced or swapped with a substitute document portion. The system has a controller, typically a proxy server, for reading the identifier portion of the original document portion, determining the information portion of the original document portion, and issuing a swap order when an undesired original document portion is found. A substitute document server receives the swap order and sends the substitute document portion to the controller. A swapping device or mechanism inserts the substitute document portion in place of the original document portion and the substitute document portion is passed on to the user set and displayed. The controller and swapping mechanism can be integrated with the user set or with the resources of the service provider and their functionality can reside in software.
Abstract: A method for producing a component having at least one diaphragm formed in the upper surface of the component, which diaphragm spans a cavity, and having at least one access opening to the cavity from the back side of the component, at least one first diaphragm layer and the cavity being produced in a monolithic semiconductor substrate from the upper surface of the component, and the access opening being produced in a temporally limited etching step from the back side of the substrate. The access opening is placed in a region in which the substrate material comes up to the first diaphragm layer.

Abstract: A micro valve includes a first valve chamber and a second valve chamber as well as a closing element, which is adjustable between an opening position, in which the valve chambers are connected to each other, and a closing position in which the valve chambers are separated from each other. A reference chamber is provided, which is delimited by the closing element.
Abstract: A method for simplifying a description of a travel route represented by a list of route points includes: reading in a travel route which is mapped by a list of route points represented by a plurality of route points, each route point representing a different subsegment of a travel route on a digital road map; altering the list of route points according to a predetermined algorithm, in order to obtain an altered list of route points that represents the travel route; and storing the altered list of route points in order to simplify the description of the travel route.
Abstract: A fuel injector, in particular for the direct injection of fuel into the combustion chamber of a mixture-compressing internal combustion engine having externally supplied ignition, includes an armature which cooperates with a solenoid coil, and a valve needle which is joined to the armature by force-locking and on which a valve-closure member is provided which forms a sealing seat together with a valve-seat surface. The armature is swingingly supported on the valve needle by a spring.
Abstract: An electric machine, in particular an electrically excited claw pole generator for a motor vehicle, is provided, having a stator winding, the phase terminals of which may be connected in the manner of a pentagram to a rectifier system. The stator winding has a five-phase design, phase terminals situated in adjacent slots being interconnected at least once. All of the phase terminals may be interconnected are situated in adjacent slots.
Abstract: A method is provided for diagnosing the operability of fuel vapor intermediate stores (4), in particular of activated carbon filters, in tank-venting systems with at least one tank (3) and at least one fuel vapor intermediate store (4). In this case an actual change degree of filling of the fuel vapor intermediate store (4) is determined as a consequence of absorption or desorption processes of gaseous hydrocarbons in the fuel vapor intermediate store (4). The actual change in degree of filling is compared with a desired change in degree of filling and, from the comparison, a conclusion about the operability of the fuel vapor intermediate store (4) is drawn.
