  • Method and device for diagnosing electrodes in sensor elements
    Patent number: 9316626
    Abstract: A method for diagnosing a sensor element for detecting at least one fraction of a gas component of a gas in a measuring gas chamber, in particular a sensor element for detecting oxygen in an exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine. The sensor element includes at least one first electrode, to which the gas may be applied, and at least one second electrode, the first electrode and the second electrode being connected via at least one solid electrolyte. A diagnostic signal is applied between the first electrode and the second electrode, a response signal being detected between the first electrode and the second electrode.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for operating an internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 8554444
    Abstract: Described is a method for operating an internal combustion engine (1), in which method at least one parameter of the exhaust gas flowing in an exhaust-gas duct (10) is detected by at least one exhaust-gas probe (30; 32), wherein the internal combustion engine (1) is at least temporarily turned over by a starting device (3), during which an injection and combustion of fuel does not take place, and during and/or after which the exhaust-gas probe (30; 32) is adjusted.
