Abstract: A method for the quality assurance of exhaust gas behavior in a motor vehicle, particularly in a hybrid vehicle, includes monitoring an on-board-diagnosis function; providing a journey counter a diagnosis counter, and a nominal diagnosis frequency value; incrementing the journey counter following the beginning of a driving cycle; generating an actual diagnosis frequency value using a combination of the diagnosis counter and the drive counter; and establishing a difference between the nominal diagnosis frequency value and the actual diagnosis frequency value. If the difference falls short of a threshold: a control method is selected, which is designed to successfully complete a currently running OBD of the OBD function and to initiate and complete a non-running OBD. Following the completion of the OBD of the OBD function, the diagnosis counter is incremented and the motor control restored to an original motor control.

Abstract: A travel assistance game is provided which consists of a game board having two concentric continuous paths around its perimeter divided into consecutive playing spaces bearing instructions, some of which represent amounts to be paid and received by each player during the game. A map of the world is at the center of the game board. The map identifies by number and name six different continents. A plurality of first type playing pieces are provided, with one for each player used to be placed onto each continent on the map during the game. A plurality of second type playing pieces are provided with one for each player used to be placed onto each playing space during the game. Play money of different denominations are for distribution of part thereof to each player. A plurality of accident/sickness cards are provided with each to be picked by the players when their respective second type playing piece lands on a playing space bearing instructions to do so.
