  • Patent number: 7805237
    Abstract: A method for operating an internal combustion engine having a combustion method with homogeneous auto ignition. A driver's demand, predetermined by the gas pedal, is converted into a desired torque to be given off by the engine. A reference charge value for the air charge is determined by a working-point-dependent lambda value (?opt) that can be predetermined. Based on this, a throttle valve position is set. Parallel to this, a desired torque is calculated for the fuel path with a reference lambda value, and an actual charge is calculated to yield a fuel amount to be injected. The reference lambda value results from an optimal lambda value for the mode of operation of homogeneous compression ignition, as long as the lambda value is within the rich and lean limits, respectively, of the combustion method of homogeneous compression ignition. The fuel mass is varied within the rich and lean limits to compensate dynamic processes.

  • Patent number: 7508586
    Abstract: An optical filter is formed of a layer stack that includes metallic layers and dielectric layers, with at least one dielectric layer being defined by more than one zinc-based film. These zinc-based films have different percentages of zinc. The selections of the percentages are based upon the positions of the films within the dielectric layer. An unexpectedly low sheet resistance is available if the zinc-based film that immediately precedes forming a metallic layer has a percentage of zinc in the range of 80 percent to next to 100 percent. Process stabilization and manufacturing cost are provided by placing the percentage of the lower zinc-based film closer to 50 percent (25-75). Process stabilization is further enhanced by providing an indium-based film within the dielectric layer adjacent to the metallic layer.

    Abstract: A method for operating an internal combustion engine having a combustion method with homogeneous auto ignition. A driver's demand, predetermined by the gas pedal, is converted into a desired torque to be given off by the engine.

Parallel to this, a desired torque is calculated for the fuel path with a reference lambda value, and an actual filling is calculated to yield a fuel amount to be injected.

  • Publication number: 20080105232
    Abstract: A method for switching the modes of operation of an internal combustion engine switches between a method of homogeneous compression ignition and a conventional combustion method. The operating ranges of the modes of operation are defined at least by way of speed of rotation and load, and a switch between the operating ranges takes place as a function of the current operating point and of quantifiable characteristics of the trajectory as well as of the distance of the current operating point from the range limit of the operating range. Characteristics of the trajectory are the current movement direction and/or the speed of approach of the operating point to the range limit.

  • Patent number: 7235664
    Abstract: This invention encompasses anthranilamides with heteroarylsulfonyl side chain, process for their preparation, their use as medicament or diagnostic aid, and pharmaceutical preparations containing them. Compounds of formula I, in which R1 to R7 have the meanings stated in the claims, act on the Kv1.5 potassium channel and inhibit a potassium current which is referred to as the ultra-rapidly activating delayed rectifier in the atrium of the human heart. They are therefore suitable as novel antiarrhythmic ingredients, such as for the treatment and prophylaxis of atrial arrhythmias, e.g. atrial fibrillation (AF) or atrial flutter.

  • Patent number: 7076423
    Abstract: The present invention relates to coding and storage of phonetic features in order to search for strings of characters, whereby it is applied in particular to searching for a variety of names, identifiers, denotations and other character strings in a database. This is achieved by a method and system for coding and storing phonetic information representable as an original character sequence in which the phonetic information is coded in a bit code which does not comprise any characters. In some embodiments, tables are used and which comprise character groups that are found empirically and reflect the specific phonetics and method of spelling a name adapted to the actual language in use. This enables efficient coding of phonetic features associated with said groups and provides for adapting the coding method of the present invention to a plurality of different languages.
