  • Publication number: 20130333670
    Abstract: In a reciprocating piston engine with a variable compression ratio in which a piston is movably disposed in a cylinder, an adjustment arrangement is provided for controlling the compression ratio of the engine including an adjusting part supported by a guide element depending on a signal provided by a detection means comprising a transducer part arranged on the adjusting part and a corresponding detection part, arranged on a housing part of the engine in connection with a control unit in which a desired momentary compression ratio setting is determined on the basis of a characteristic diagram stored in the control unit.

  • Patent number: 8448615
    Abstract: An electromagnetic camshaft-adjuster device having an armature unit (14, 42) drivable along an axial direction in reaction of a current feed of a stationary inductor unit (10), which for interacting with an adjusting unit (16, 48) causing adjustment of a camshaft of an internal combustion engine is configured with a slide and/or tappet unit, wherein on and/or in the armature unit and/or the adjusting unit, a permanent magnet element (20, 44) is provided and the inductor unit and the armature unit are at least partially received in a housing or supporting unit, and wherein the supporting unit is associated with a configured stationary magnetic field detection element (22, 38) preferably for contactless magnetic interaction with the permanent magnet element, which is configured so that in a current feed condition and a non current feed condition the inductor unit an axial position of the armature unit and/or the adjusting unit can be determined electronically by evaluating a magnetic field detection signal of t
