Abstract: An electrical connector configured to be mated to a mating connector includes a housing assembly and a core assembly held rotatably within the housing assembly. The core assembly includes a contact assembly having a contact configured to electrically contact a mating contact of the mating connector, a finger protection assembly configured to at least partially cover the contact assembly, and a cable retention assembly configured to be attached onto an electrical cable.

Abstract: A method for determining an average segment time of an encoder wheel of an internal combustion engine, the encoder wheel being connected in rotationally fixed fashion to a crankshaft of the internal combustion engine, markings being situated along the circumference of the encoder wheel, and the crankshaft of the internal combustion engine passing through specified angular ranges during segment times, segment times being acquired, associated rotational speed values being determined from the segment times, a rotational speed curve being determined from the individual determined rotational speed values, a value of the average rotational speed being determined from the rotational speed curve, and an average segment time being determined from the value of the average rotational speed.

Abstract: A method for controlling an internal combustion engine includes: using the pressure sensor method, determining for a first injector a first control period during which a desired quantity of fuel is injected into a lead cylinder; controlling the first injector with the first control period and entering a quantity replacement signal resulting therefrom into a training characteristic field as a function of the drive train parameters; and using null quantity calibration, varying for all further cylinders a control period of the injectors assigned to the cylinders until the quantity replacement signal is reached.

Abstract: A method for operating a speed-controlled internal combustion engine, including regulating the rotational speed of the internal combustion engine, information concerning a torque to be set being provided as a manipulated variable, limiting the manipulated variable according to a torque limiting value in order to obtain a limited manipulated variable, activating the internal combustion engine as a function of the limited manipulated variable, and increasing the air volume fed to the internal combustion engine for achieving the torque to be set irrespective of the torque limiting value.

Abstract: A device and a method for controlling an internal combustion engine, for example, for regulating the speed of the internal combustion engine, are described. At least one first governor, specifies a first manipulated variable based on a comparison between a first setpoint value and an actual value. At least one second governor specifies a second manipulated variable based on a comparison between a second setpoint value and the actual value. The first manipulated variable may be limited to a first manipulating range and the second manipulated variable may be limited to a second manipulating range.

Abstract: A device and a method for controlling an internal combustion engine, in particular for regulating the speed of the internal combustion engine, are described. At least one first governor, specifies a first manipulated variable based on a comparison between a first setpoint value and an actual value. At least one second governor specifies a second manipulated variable based on a comparison between a second setpoint value and the actual value. The first manipulated variable is limited to a first manipulating range and the second manipulated variable is limited to a second manipulating range.
