Patent number: 9932869Abstract: A vehicle may include an internal combustion engine having a crankcase and a supercharging apparatus, and a crankcase ventilation apparatus having at least one oil-separating apparatus including at least one oil separator. An oil return line may communicate separated oil from the crankcase ventilation apparatus to the crankcase. An ejector pump may be driven via a compressed air flow of the supercharging apparatus and may be configured to generate an underpressure for driving a blow-by gas. The crankcase ventilation apparatus may include a pump control valve configured to at least one of regulate and control the compressed air flow through the ejector pump.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2015Date of Patent: April 3, 2018Assignee: Mahle International GmbHInventors: Dimitri An, Steve Beez, Armando Coelho, Alfred Elsaesser, Thomas Fallscheer, Volker Kirschner, Thomas Riemay, Stefan Ruppel

Patent number: 9255658Abstract: A connection device may include an insertion section having an annular outer groove. A housing may be configured to receive the insertion section and a blocking element may be configured to lock the insertion section in the housing. The blocking element may have a band-shaped core and a plurality of teeth arranged adjacent in the peripheral direction along the core. Each of the teeth may include an outer tooth section and an inner tooth section. A core profile may have a core principal direction determined by a maximum diameter. The teeth may have a tooth profile which has a tooth principal direction determined by an inner flank of the teeth lying radially on an interior of the outer tooth section and the core principal direction may be inclined with respect to the tooth principal direction.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2010Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignee: Mahle International GmbHInventors: Gabriel Bundy, Thomas Fallscheer, Thomas Pröttel
