  • Patent number: 10436169
    Abstract: The invention relates to a starting method for internal combustion engines in motor vehicles, comprising a start-stop system, and to a starting device (10) for carrying out said method, said starting device comprising a starter motor (11) and an insertion device (12, 20) which axially inserts a slip-on pinion (13) into a crown gear (14) of the internal combustion engine when a stop cycle begins. In order to minimize the period until the engine can be restarted, the pinion (13) is resiliently inserted into the still rotating crown gear (14) by means of a pressure spring (25) when the stop phase begins, once the internal combustion engine (15) is switched off but before it comes to a standstill and with the starter motor (11) switched off.

  • Patent number: 9494122
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for meshing a starter pinion (19) of a starting device (16) into a ring gear (13) of an internal combustion engine (10). The internal combustion engine (10) has a driveshaft (22), and the starting device (16) has a starter motor (25), said driveshaft (22) having a variable rotational speed (n). The internal combustion engine (10) is switched off in a method step (S1), and the starter pinion (19), which is not being rotationally driven by the starter motor (25), is then advanced in the direction of the ring gear (13) by a toe-in actuator (28) by means of a toe-in force (FV) in a method step (S2) until the starter pinion contacts the ring gear. A meshing force (FE) is then exerted onto the starter pinion (19) in a controlled manner in an additional method step (S3) in order to mesh the starter pinion (19) into a tooth gap (34) of the ring gear (13).

  • Patent number: 8924697
    Abstract: A method for processing interrupt requests in a processor is suitable for executing at least two threads in parallel, wherein an instruction pipeline is provided for each of the at least two threads. One of the at least two threads is defined as a main thread for processing programs. Another thread of the at least two threads is assigned to the main thread as an interrupt thread. After an interrupt request is received, the processor stores interrupt data in a register assigned to the interrupt thread. Subsequently, the processing of an interrupt routine is started in the interrupt thread and at least part of the interrupt routine is executed in the interrupt thread.
