Abstract: A description is given of a gas-discharge lamp base (11) with a housing comprising an upper part (10) and a cover (40), a support (16) accommodated in the housing for receiving the components, with a transformer, with inductances connected in series with the lamp (1) and a capacitance connected in parallel with the lamp (1), the transformer comprising a bar transformer (23). This construction permits particularly efficient production, because the support can be constructed as a simple leadframe which permits automatic component fitting.

Abstract: A device for determining moisture has an LC-oscillating circuit as a transducer and an oscillator for exciting the oscillating circuit. Further, the device for determining moisture has a tuning device for frequency-wise tuning the oscillator and a measuring and evaluation circuit to determine an attenuation condition of the oscillator and to provide a signal that is proportional to a degree of moisture at the transducer. The transducer and the oscillator are coupled in a contact-free manner.

Abstract: An oscillating inductor has a symmetrical double-E core, which has two geometrically identical core windows, a cuboid center limb and two cuboid outer limbs. The double-E core is designed such that a longitudinal cross sectional area of the center limb is greater than 90 mm2, with a longitudinal cross section being regarded as a cross section which would separate the double-E core into two single E-cores, and the cross section being at right angles to the longitudinal cross section such that the double-E can be identified in the cross section, with the double-E core being located in a component volume of less than 26.5 mm×26.5 mm×15 mm (width×depth×height).

Abstract: A gas discharge lamp base (1) with a starting device has a carrier part (16) for electronic components (23 through 30) of the starting device. The carrier part (16) has a top side and a bottom side. Only high voltage-carrying components (23 through 26) of the starting device are arranged on the one side of the carrier part (16), and only low voltage-carrying components (27 through 30) of the starting device are arranged on the other side (low voltage side) of the carrier part (16).

Abstract: The present invention provides a device and a method for cylinder sensing in an internal combustion engine.

Abstract: The process for ignition detection for an ignition system in a combustion engine wherein a first ignition pulse is generated in a cycle for generating a first ignition spark and at least a second ignition pulse for generating a second ignition spark provides that the alternating voltage for generating at least the second ignition pulse has one or more periods with half-waves having different amplitudes. The first half-wave has an amplitude between the maximum voltage required in the presence of ionization between the electrodes of a spark plug in the ignition system, and between the minimum voltage required in the absence of ionization. The second half-wave has an amplitude exceeding the maximum voltage required. The criterion measured for an ignition of the fuel-air mixture having taken place is whether or not the second ignition spark was generated with the first half-wave of the alternating voltage.

Abstract: An alternating current based ignition system, in which a computer, in which a motorspecific data recognition field ("look-up" table) is stored and which is provided by sensors with operating parameters, controls the duration of the alternating ignition current and the ignition coil energy.

Abstract: The invention provides a circuit for electronic control of an internal combustion engines including injection valves that can be activated electrically as a function of regulated variables such as crankshaft position, engine speed, exhaust-gas composition and engine torque. The circuit includes an electronic control unit with means to activate the intake valves, exhaust valves, injection valves and ignition device as a function of ignition duration and ignition timing. The control unit also includes a start-up program with which ignition sequences of the engine cylinders, intake valves, injection valves and ignition device can be activated for any desired cylinder position of an engine-start-up process. The circuit further includes a program memory, an engine-standstill detection circuit, and an absolute-value angle transmitter to which the engine-standstill detection circuit is responsive.

Abstract: The ignition system consists of a free-running ignition final stage, a miniature induction coil, a static and/or dynamic determination of the ignition angle, and a power supply. The ignition final stage ensures that the ignition current is an alternating current and that the ignition energy is fed to the spark plugs in a current-controlled manner. The ignition point is determined by reading the ignition angle. The electrical supply to the entire ignition final stage and additional consumers in a motor vehicle is through a power supply that converts the current and voltage.
