  • Patent number: 11015543
    Abstract: A method for dynamic gas partial pressure correction of an internal combustion engine with external mixture formation. A mixture formation is carried out in an intake manifold upstream of the cylinder of the internal combustion engine, and in which in addition to the gas partial pressure of the fresh air flowing continuously into the intake manifold, the gas partial pressure of the fuel, fed discontinuously into the intake manifold, is also taken into account. The gas partial pressure of the fuel, fed into the intake manifold, said pressure which is assumed to be stationary as a function of determined parameters, is dynamically adjusted for each of the cylinder-individual, temporally successive injections, discharged into the intake manifold, by means of a correction factor and a fresh air correction filling value.

  • Patent number: 10814758
    Abstract: A vehicle seat for a motor vehicle, comprising a seat part with a seat cushion which provides a seat surface and which comprises a front seat portion and a rear seat portion extending diametrically thereto, and a backrest with a lower backrest portion and an upper backrest portion extending diametrically thereto. The lower backrest portion of the backrest is arranged adjacent to the rear seat portion of the seat cushion. At least one locking tab is provided that holds the rear seat portion of the seat cushion on the lower backrest portion of the backrest relative to at least one spatial direction extending substantially perpendicular to the seat surface in the direction of the upper backrest portion.

  • Patent number: 8864184
    Abstract: A pivotable vehicle component is usable as a load or pass-through in a vehicle seat and include a pivotable latch which prevents the pivotable component from being unlatched from a force being applied by luggage (or other objects) during rapid decelerations such as in a crash.

  • Publication number: 20060009982
    Abstract: A hand-held electronic device for censoring, validating, or invalidating comments made by oneself or others, usually to comic effect, for various benefits, including, but not limited to, self-amusement, relieving tension or boredom, discouraging verbal bullying or verbal abuse, or gaining social status. The user of the device can activate various sound effects, which may include, but are not limited to: the ‘Bleep’ sound used to censor coarse language on TV; the ‘Buzz’ sound used to indicate “wrong answer” on TV game shows, and the ‘Ding’ sound used to indicate “correct answer” on TV game shows.
