Abstract: A method for operating a control unit, such a control unit, and a computer program and computer program product for implementing the method are provided. In this context, the control unit is able to assume multiple states, a transition state being interposed during the transition from a first state to a second state.

Abstract: In a motor control method and apparatus for an internal combustion engine, a point for the beginning of injection moment and injection period for each cylinder are determined in a load-controlled way in a motor controller and supplied to the actuators for execution of the injection. To improve the response characteristic of the internal combustion engine, control information for injection of the cylinder currently to be addressed is transmitted as reserve information for the subsequent cylinder in every transmission cycle. In the event of a load increase, reserve information from the previous transmission cycle is used to control injection in the subsequent cylinder.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method and an arrangement for controlling a power adjusting device in motor vehicles. The adjustment of an electrically actuable power adjusting element is made in pregiven operating states. The power adjusting element is adjusted in accordance with a first value in the region of the full-load position of the power adjusting element, however, not at the full load position itself and is adjusted to a second value in the region of the completely closed position but not at the completely closed position itself.
