Abstract: A method for operating a hybrid drive includes the steps of: providing an internal combustion engine, an electric machine, a converter, and a drive shaft, the internal combustion engine including a combustion engine, the converter being electrically connected to the electric machine, the internal combustion engine and the electric machine being connected to each other in a torque-transmitting manner by way of the drive shaft; determining a rotational motion signal associated with the drive shaft, the rotational motion signal being determined by way of an electrical converter variable of the converter; and determining a signal characterization of a momentary curve of the electrical converter variable, the signal characterization indicating an intermittent cylinder operation of the combustion engine.

Abstract: A drive for a vehicle includes: an internal combustion engine; a freewheel device, a drive shaft, the internal combustion engine configured for being drive-operatively connected to the drive shaft of the drive via the freewheel device, the freewheel device being configured to decouple the internal combustion engine from the drive shaft if a rotational speed of the drive shaft exceeds a rotational speed of the internal combustion engine; and a bridging device which is designed to couple the internal combustion engine to the drive shaft in at least one operating situation of the drive if the internal combustion engine is separated from the drive shaft by the freewheel device.

Abstract: A method for compensating valve drift in an internal combustion engine having a variable valve train; in the method, an actual value of the current operating state of the internal combustion engine is determined in an air expenditure map and compared to a desired value of the air expenditure map, whereupon the air expenditure map is corrected.

Abstract: A method and an arrangement for operating an internal combustion engine. According to the method, a load threshold is defined below which load control by a throttle valve is performed.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine including at least one combustion chamber having a main chamber and a prechamber, wherein the prechamber is in fluid connection with the main chamber via at least one bore. The at least one combustion chamber is connected to a charging path for the supply of a combustion air-fuel mixture into the combustion chamber via the charging path. A fuel intermixing region is arranged in a section of the charging path separately assigned to the combustion chamber, which fuel intermixing region is in fluid connection with the charging path on one side and with a fuel line on the other side for the supply of fuel into the fuel intermixing region via a controllable fuel valve. The internal combustion engine wherein the prechamber and the fuel intermixing region are in fluid connection with one another via a check valve.
