  • Patent number: 7550125
    Abstract: An exhaust-gas purification unit for purifying the exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine which is preferably operated in lean-burn mode, in particular a diesel engine used in motor vehicles, has a particulate filter and a SCR catalytic converter arranged in the exhaust pipe in succession in the direction of flow, and a reducing-agent supply. Ammonia can be added to the exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine on the entry side of the SCR catalytic converter by the reducing-agent supply. The exhaust-gas purification unit includes a hydrogen-generating unit for enriching the exhaust gas from the internal combustion engine with the hydrogen which it generates.

  • Patent number: 6873901
    Abstract: A method for operating an electronic controller of a motor vehicle, in particular of an engine controller, with which signal processing is carried out in order to control the operation of the motor vehicle and/or of the engine. The signal processing of the controller includes a filtering operation, the filtering operation being carried out as a function of the operating state of the motor vehicle and/or of the engine.
