Abstract: An electronic household appliance has a control system which has a plurality of internal control units and a communication network between the plurality of internal control units. A selected internal control unit of the plurality of internal control units contains a controller and is additionally provided with a communication device which is configured for data communication with at least one external administrative unit without intermediate storage of the data to be communicated. The controller of the selected internal control unit is also configured to control data communication between the at least one external administrative unit and the plurality of internal control units of the control system via the communication device.

Abstract: In an exhaust manifold for an internal combustion engine including a central part with tow exhaust gas flow ducts extending from the central part in opposite directions for collecting exhaust gas from first and respectively second cylinder groups of the engine, the center part includes a first control valve for controlling the exhaust gas flow from the first and the second cylinder groups to first and second turbine inlet flow passages, a second control valve for controlling the exhaust gas pressure and a third control valve for controlling the exhaust gas recirculation rate.
