Abstract: Proposed for mounting an engine in a motor vehicle is a resilient bearing which comprises a rigid casing (1) for connection to, for example, the body, a rigid inner liner (3) for connection to, for example, the engine and a spring (2), fitted between casing and liner. The spring of elastomeric material is fastened at least on one side to the outer sleeve. It encloses, solidly connected, the outer circumferential surface of the liner (3). The spring is dimensioned such that it does not entirely fill the interior of the casing.

Abstract: A method for operation of an internal combustion engine supercharged by means of an exhaust gas turbo-supercharger for vehicles, in particular passenger automobiles, as well as a device for putting the method into effect. In order to achieve a more rapid response of such a supercharged internal combustion engine, in particular on full load acceleration, there is to be increased during a short time, on acceleration of the internal combustion engine, the exhaust gas energy supplied to the turbine of the exhaust gas turbo-supercharger by action on the internal efficiency of the combustion engine. Thereby, the duration and/or the magnitude of the exhaust gas energy increase is to be controlled as a function of the magnitude of the desired acceleration of the internal combustion engine, i.e., e.g., the extent of the accelerator pedal actuation, and, additionally, by a parameter characterizing the state of charge of the compressor, e.g., the charge pressure or the supercharger speed.
