  • Reciprocating piston internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 6772717
    Abstract: In a reciprocating piston internal combustion engine with a piston which is displacably arranged in a cylinder and is coupled in to a connecting rod whose movement can be transmitted to a crankshaft via a crank, a transmission element is provided between the connecting rod and the crank of the crankshaft and the movement of the transmission element can be manipulated by means of a control arm for an adjustment of the compression ratio of the engine. The transmission element is coupled to the crank via a joint disposed in the intermediate region between a bearing connection of the transverse lever structure with the control arm and a bearing connection of the transverse lever with the connecting rod, the bearing connection of the transverse lever with the connecting rod, the crank and the control arm being arranged in a predetermined relationship.

  • Starting device for an internal combustion engine and method for starting the internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 6240890
    Abstract: In known starting devices, an individual starter is provided which accelerates the internal combustion engine to only a relatively low rotational speed at which an initial injection with subsequent combustion takes place. During a cold start of the internal combustion engine, it is therefore absolutely necessary to provide a relatively rich fuel/air mixture for the initial injection. However, this results in a situation in which, during this phase, relatively high exhaust gas emissions, in particular of hydrocarbons, are produced, which cannot be controlled by a catalytic converter which is not yet at its operating temperature.
