  • Adaptation of the clutch torque of a clutch of a parallel-hybrid drive train of a vehicle
    Patent number: 9371812
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for permitting adaptation of the clutch torque of a proportional clutch in parallel hybrid vehicles, wherein given certain peripheral conditions the method is triggered automatically by a control device and the internal combustion engine rotates but is not ignited (phantom start).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 24, 2012
    Date of Patent: June 21, 2016
    Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbH
    Inventors: Kaspar Schmoll Genannt Eisenwerth, Manuel Schnitzer, Fabio Iacona, Mykhaylo Klymenko
  • Method and device for leak testing in an automated electrohydraulic clutch system in a motor vehicle
    Patent number: 9051979
    Abstract: In a method for leak testing in an automated electrohydraulic clutch system in a motor vehicle, in which an electromechanical actuator controls the clutch travel of a clutch via a hydraulic piping system, in order that a defective system is detected reliably and rapidly, the leak in the clutch system is detected using a pressure measurement in the electromechanical actuator and compared to a characteristic clutch curve.
