The method includes continuously registering a value for one or several of: a. engine load parameter for the combustion engine and/or, b. temperature in the combustion engine and/or, c. parameters for indicating NVH in the transmission; If parameters a to c have passed a predetermined value for each of the parameters, then braking a power turbine side of the hydrodynamic coupling and continuously adjusting said torque transmitting ability of the hydrodynamic coupling in dependence of the development of the parameters a to c. Increased control of the transmission and engine performance, especially lower noise and exhaust emissions, and accelerated heating of the engine during cold starts, but also better auxiliary braking, can be provided.

Abstract: A device for controlling valve movements in an internal combustion engine includes a rotating camshaft having a cam curve, the camshaft being designed, via a rocker arm, to interact with a valve mechanism for operating the inlet or exhaust valve by a valve spring. The valve mechanism includes timing gear which allows the return movement of the valve mechanism to be controlled during the closing phase of the inlet valve or exhaust valve, independently of the cam curve. A resilient element is arranged between the rocker arm and a fixed point in such a way that the rocker arm continuously follows the cam curve as the camshaft rotates. The force of the valve spring is adjusted to the moving mass of the valve mechanism and to forces counteracting the valve closure. The force exerted by the resilient element are adjusted to the mass of the rocker arm for the purpose of minimizing the energy losses of the valve mechanism.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for providing an internal combustion engine which for each cylinder, with the associated piston, has at least one inlet valve and at least one exhaust valve (10) for controlling the connection between the combustion chamber in the cylinder and an intake system and an exhaust system, respectively. A rotatable camshaft (18) with a cam (22) is designed to interact with a first cam follower (17) and a second cam follower (20) in order to switch between two different operating modes. The cam followers are mounted on a pivotal rocker arm (13), the second cam follower (20) being hydraulically adjustable between two positions by means of a piston (21) located in a hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder is connected to a hydraulic fluid source via a hydraulic fluid duct and the piston can be moved from one position to the other by the action of a quantity of hydraulic fluid delivered to the hydraulic cylinder.

Abstract: Multi-cylinder internal combustion engine having at least one cylinder row (10) with an intake side (10a) and an exhaust side (10b). The intake side includes an intake manifold (16), and the exhaust side includes at least one exhaust manifold (17) common to a group of cylinders (11-13). A charging unit (18) is connected by its pressure side to an intake air line opening into the intake manifold. The engine also has an arrangement for exhaust gas recirculation from the exhaust side of the engine to its intake side. The arrangement has a recirculation passage (15b, 20) which is arranged in the cylinder head(s) of the engine, for the respective group of cylinders and forms a connection between the exhaust manifold (17) and the intake side (10a). The passage can be opened and closed by a valve means (19).
