  • Method and device for controlling a high-pressure fuel pump in an internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 10174732
    Abstract: A method for controlling a high-pressure pump for the injection of fuel into a combustion engine, the high-pressure pump being connected to a camshaft of the combustion engine, wherein the high-pressure pump is controlled in a camshaft-synchronous manner by ascertaining an angular offset between the flank positions of a camshaft pulse-generating wheel and a predefinable point above the bottom dead center of a cam of the high-pressure pump on the camshaft.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and control unit for operating an injector of an internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 8904996
    Abstract: In a method for operating an injector of an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, in which an actuator for driving a component of the injector is provided, the actuator is controlled in such a way that at least two partial injections are brought about within a working cycle of the internal combustion engine. For each partial injection, a starting point in time of the partial injection is ascertained.
