  • Method for operating an internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 8505518
    Abstract: In a method for operating an internal combustion engine, a crankcase of the internal combustion engine has a vent into the intake section of the internal combustion engine, and upon outgassing of fuel out of engine oil present in the crankcase, the operating point of the internal combustion engine is modified so that the air-fuel ratio does not fall below a definable value.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: August 13, 2013
    Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbH
    Inventors: Georg Mallebrein, Crina Vlad, Jochen Reiter
  • Method for operating a multi-spark ignition system, and multi-spark ignition system
    Patent number: 8430084
    Abstract: A method for operating a multi-spark ignition system in an engine system includes: receiving time information regarding a multi-spark phase; cyclical charging of an ignition coil of an ignition device, and discharging of the ignition coil via a spark plug of the ignition device during the multi-spark phase; the charging and/or discharging of the ignition coil taking place as a function of a current flow in the ignition coil.

  • Brake pressure control device for a brake system of a road vehicle
    Patent number: 6315372
    Abstract: A brake pressure control device of a road vehicle has an automatic control of a starting clutch and/or of a transmission. During a stoppage of the motor vehicle achieved by a stoppage braking, the driver can, by a respective arbitrary activity, trigger a “starting assist” function for a defined time period. During this function, a continuation of the stoppage braking takes place by maintaining a brake pressure controlled into the wheel brakes by pressure maintaining valves so that, during the above-mentioned time period, the driver can change over to the accelerator pedal.
