  • Patent number: 12006885
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine may have an intake valve device. A sudden load variation may be carried out in which a torque provided by the internal combustion engine is increased from a first value to a second value which is higher than the first value. While the sudden load variation is being carried out, the intake valve device may be operated according to an operating method different from the second operating method and is thereby closed later than in the second operating method. After the sudden load variation has been carried out, and while the internal combustion engine provides the torque having the second value after the sudden load variation has been carried out, the internal combustion engine may be switched over from the first operating method different from the second operating method to the second operating method.

  • Patent number: 8655551
    Abstract: A method and a device for the assisted parking of a motor vehicle into a parking space are provided. The method comprises the following method steps: approaching the parking space; measuring the parking space using sensors situated on the motor vehicle; calculating a setpoint parking path and indicating the setpoint parking path on a display; indicating the actual parking path on the display such that the actual parking path may be adapted to the setpoint parking path.
