  • Patent number: 10690029
    Abstract: An arrangement of an internal combustion engine with at least one first and one second nitrogen oxide storage catalytic converter is provided, wherein the first nitrogen oxide storage catalytic converter is arranged within a low-pressure exhaust gas recirculation circuit. A method for operating the arrangement is furthermore provided, wherein the nitrogen oxide storage catalytic converters can be used for the production of ammonia under operating conditions with a high load by providing rich exhaust gas conditions.

  • Patent number: 10323594
    Abstract: A method for controlling exhaust gas aftertreatment in an exhaust gas aftertreatment system having at least one nitrogen oxide storage catalyst and at least one catalyst for selective catalytic reduction is provided, wherein, in phases of a high load, a combustion engine is operated with a substoichiometric fuel/air mixture, and nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas are reduced in the nitrogen oxide storage catalyst to ammonia, which is stored in the catalyst for selective catalytic reduction, and, when the storage capacity of the catalyst for selective catalytic reduction is exceeded, the combustion engine is operated with a superstoichiometric fuel/air mixture, thus allowing nitrogen oxides in the catalyst for selective catalytic reduction to be reduced by the stored ammonia.

  • Patent number: 10029671
    Abstract: An operating method for a motor vehicle having a hybrid drivetrain includes, during a demand check, comparing at least one value which characterizes a current state of an exhaust-gas after-treatment device, with a setpoint value of the exhaust-gas after-treatment device. In response to the comparison indicating a deviation of the value characterizing the current state of the exhaust-gas after-treatment device from the setpoint value, a demand for a measure is indicated. The measure includes supplying charge gas, which includes recirculated exhaust gas, to the internal combustion engine during overrun operation. In addition, a capability check is carried out to detect conditions suitable for implementing the operating method.

  • Patent number: 9910678
    Abstract: A method for installation of a native OS on a host using non-native utilities. A native OS image is deployed on a native target client system using a non-native distribution server. The OS image is converted and packaged into a non-native format and provided to the target client. The OS image is unpacked and de-converted back to a native format and deployed on the target client. The client agent runs System Imaging Utility to acquire the OS image from the reference partition. The created OS image is pushed to the non-native file sharing system, and then the SCCM Proxy is asked to create an OS image package and a task sequence in the SCCM for this package. When the OS image is placed into the SCCM, the client agent reboots back to the reference partition.

  • Publication number: 20160251012
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an operating method for a motor vehicle having a hybrid drivetrain where in a demand check, at least one exhaust-gas after-treatment actual value, which characterizes a current exhaust-gas after-treatment actual state, is compared with an exhaust-gas after-treatment setpoint value, and if, in the event of a deviation of the exhaust-gas after-treatment actual value from the exhaust-gas after-treatment setpoint value, a demand for a measure is detected. The measure comprises supplying charge gas, which has recirculated exhaust gas, to the internal combustion engine during overrun operation. Also a capability check is carried out to detect conditions suitable for implementing the operating method.

  • Patent number: 4223963
    Abstract: The unoccupied space intermediate the races, the rolling bodies and the metal cage of a conventional antifriction bearing is filled with a solidified antifriction compound, with the cage of the conventional bearing being fast with the compound and reinforcing it. An annular gap is provided intermediate the outer race of the bearing and the solidified compound body for removal of the wear products. To manufacture a bearing of this kind, a bearing of the conventional kind is filled with a solidifiable antifriction material, with subsequent thermal treatment. The invention offers a simple, readily implementable and relatively inexpensive technique of adding a new quality to conventional antifriction bearings, viz. the ability of prolonged operation under adverse conditions, without periodic lubrication.
