20100185379 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR OPERATING AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - Actual values of a load variable are detected by a sensor during active model trimming under different valve pressure conditions, and a model of estimated values is created. Trimming values of a model parameter are determined depending on detected and modeled values such that when the model parameter is trimmed, the modeled values approximate the detected values. A function is determined depending on the different pressure conditions and approximated to the trimming values. At different pressure conditions first lambda control values are detected. A first controller value fitted function is determined depending on the pressure conditions and approximated. When the model trimming mode is not active, second lambda control values are detected at different pressure conditions. A second controller value fitted function is determined depending on the pressure conditions and is approximated. An error of the intake system is detected depending on the fitted functions. | 07-22-2010 |
20110067678 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR OPERATING AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE AND AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - An internal combustion engine has an air intake system with an air intake pipe and which communicates with a combustion chamber of a cylinder as a function of a switch position of a gas inlet valve. Furthermore, a compressor is disposed in the air intake system and is embodied for the purpose of compressing a mass air flow. Also, a throttle valve is disposed in the air intake system downstream of the compressor and by which the compressed mass air flow into the air intake pipe can be throttled. The internal combustion engine furthermore has a differential pressure sensor which is disposed in the air intake system and is embodied for the purpose of measuring a differential pressure between a charge pressure that prevails downstream of the compressor and upstream of the throttle valve and an ambient pressure that prevails outside of the air intake system. | 03-24-2011 |

20100028903 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR EXAMINING THE ATTACHMENT OR DETACHMENT OF LIVING OR DEAD CELLS OR CELL-LIKE PARTICLES OR OTHER SURFACE ACCUMULATIONS ON SURFACES BY MEANS OF PLASMON RESONANCE AND USE OF SAID METHOD AND SAID DEVICE - The invention relates to the examination of the attachment or detachment of living or dead cells, or cell-like particles, or other surface accumulations on surfaces, by means of plasmon resonance. The reflected light is evaluated such that two or more intensity minima of the reflected light occurring within a time frame are registered in a time dependant manner for different incident angles. The registered measurement signals reflect the respective amount of the surface accumulation. In case two intensity minima have occurred at the same time, valuable information about particular processes regarding the surface accumulation, for example regarding the adhesion of cells, can be obtained. Said information is of particular importance in the field of medicine/biology. | 02-04-2010 |

20140158657 | MOBILE TELESCOPIC CRANE - A mobile telescopic crane has a telescopic jib with at least four part-jibs. Each of the part-jibs is constructed from at least two part-jib portions so as to be telescopic in a longitudinal direction. Part-jib portions arranged at a spacing from one another transverse to the longitudinal direction each form a jib portion with at least one flexurally rigid connecting element. A construction of this type of the jib means that an increase in the bearing load is easily achieved by increasing the area moment of inertia of the jib. | 06-12-2014 |

Each of the part-jibs is constructed from at least two part-jib portions so as to be telescopic in a longitudinal direction. Part-jib portions arranged at a spacing from one another transverse to the longitudinal direction each form a jib portion with at least one flexurally rigid connecting element. Respective adjacent jib portions are mechanically lockable with respect to one another in the longitudinal direction. A construction of this type of the jib means that an increase in the bearing load is easily achieved by increasing the area moment of inertia of the jib. | 01-08-2015 |

20150114326 | Method and Device for Operating an Internal Combustion Engine - An internal combustion engine has a crankcase and a crankcase ventilation system having a switchable shut-off valve, and sensors that detect different operating parameters of the engine, including a load variable of the engine. An estimated load parameter is determined based on the different detected operating parameters using a dynamic model, and a corrective value of a characteristic value is determined as a function of a deviation between the estimated load variable and the detected load variable. To implement a diagnosis, diagnosis switching cycle(s) are controlled, in which the shut-off valve is set to a closed switched position for a first time and set to an open switched position for a second time. A diagnosis value representative of a shut-off valve being in a correct or incorrect state is determined based on a change to the corrective value in response to the one or the plurality of diagnosis switching cycles. | 04-30-2015 |
