  • Publication number: 20220186640
    Abstract: A slide cam system includes a camshaft comprising a carrier shaft with slide cam elements that each comprise a slotted switching member having a switching groove. The slide cam elements are displaceable axially relative to the carrier shaft by an actuator pin. A displacement element is arranged parallel with a longitudinal axis of the carrier shaft, and the displacement element is axially displaceable in a direction of the longitudinal axis. The displacement element has a first coupling pin arranged in a region of the first slide cam element and a second coupling pin arranged in a region of the second slide cam element. The coupling pins cooperate with a slotted switching member of the associated slide cam element such that as a result of the displacement element a movement initiated by the actuator pin of the first slide cam element can be transmitted to the second slide cam element.

  • Patent number: 6155241
    Abstract: A method for determining knocking combustion in an internal combustion engine having an alternating current ignition system, which method is used to control the duration of the ignition spark burning time as well as the ignition energy while the fuel-air-mixture is ignited by the spark plug, in dependence on the load condition and other characteristic values provided by the engine.

  • Patent number: 5814994
    Abstract: With a transistor ignition system, in order to generate an ion current measurement signal at the secondary end, the ignition transistor, following an ignition triggering impulse, will be driven such that a saw-toothed collector current results as a primary current, and whose rate of increase is selected such that the quasi-stationary direct voltage generated hereby at the secondary end will not trigger any ignition process. The advantage is that for generating such a measurement signal as well as for its evaluation only a few components are required.

  • Patent number: 5801534
    Abstract: An alternating current ignition system which can be used in one of two ways for ion current measurement. On the one hand, an oscillating circuit at the primary end of the ignition coil can be driven such that, after ignition has taken place, an alternating current signal is generated at the primary end; the amplitude of the alternating current signal must be sufficiently low so as not to cause any sparks at the secondary end, but lead to an alternating voltage signal which is modulated in relation to the ionisation degree of the ignition spark gap and thus represents an ion current measurement signal. On the other hand, however, if an auto transformer is used as an ignition coil, the intermediate circuit voltage applying at the primary end will be modulated in the medium-high voltage range of, e.g, 180 V in relation to the degree of ionisation, so that this supply voltage is used as a measurement signal.
