Abstract: A method for operating a burner, comprising supplying a controlled quantity of combustion air to the burner, supplying a controlled quantity of fuel to the burner, igniting the air-fuel mixture in the burner, determining a pressure pulsation value in the exhaust gas downstream of the burner and/or in an air path upstream of the burner, and adjusting the quantity of combustion air and/or the fuel depending on the pressure pulsation value. Further proposed are a computing unit and a computer program product for performing such a method.

Abstract: A method for operating an exhaust burner with a secondary air system downstream of a combustion engine of a motor vehicle. The method includes: activating an ignition device as a function of a release condition, the ignition device being heated up to a specifiable target temperature; metering fuel at a first time point into a combustion chamber of the exhaust burner at a first injection frequency using an injection valve, and the combustion chamber not being actively supplied with air; setting a first target air-mass flow using a secondary air system at a further, second time point, wherein the air-mass flow is increased strictly monotonically; controlling the air-fuel ratio to a first target air-fuel ratio as a function of a lambda sensor starting from the second time point, and metering fuel at a second injection frequency; setting a second target air-mass flow at a further, third time point.

Abstract: An apparatus for decoding an encoded audio signal, includes a spectral domain audio decoder for generating a first decoded representation of a first set of first spectral portions, the decoded representation having a first spectral resolution; a parametric decoder for generating a second decoded representation of a second set of second spectral portions having a second spectral resolution being lower than the first spectral resolution; a frequency regenerator for regenerating every constructed second spectral portion having the first spectral resolution using a first spectral portion and spectral envelope information for the second spectral portion; and a spectrum time converter for converting the first decoded representation and the reconstructed second spectral portion into a time representation.

Abstract: A method for operating an exhaust burner, which is situated in an exhaust system downstream from an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle. Prior to and during a start phase of the exhaust burner, an air-mass flow supplied to a combustion chamber of the exhaust burner is increased, in particular in a strictly monotonical manner, between a start time in a starting air-mass flow and a further time in a further air-mass flow. Prior to the further time, fuel is supplied to the combustion chamber. A fuel-air mixture is produced in the combustion chamber from the fuel and air of the air-mass flow. The fuel-air mixture is ignited with the aid of an ignition device which is continuously hot or forms ignition sparks intermittently.

Abstract: A method for operating an exhaust gas burner that is situated in an exhaust gas system downstream from an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle during a start phase of the exhaust gas burner, in which the internal combustion engine is not fired. The method includes an incremental increasing of the air mass flow supplied to the exhaust gas burner and an incremental varying of a fuel mass flow supplied to the exhaust gas burner.
