Title: IC engine management method
Inventor: WENZLAWSKI KLAUS DR
IPC: F02D21/08
Filed: 1997-07-18
Abstract: A method of managing an internal combustion (IC) engine equipped with a revs detector (24) which determines the number (N) of revolutions of the crankshaft, and an intake manifold (1), in which a compressor (10), an air-mass meter (12), a pressure sensor (13) and a temperature sensor (14) are arranged, and including an exhaust-gas return valve (51) in an exhaust gas return device (5).  A desired value (m EGR-SP) of a fed-back exhaust gas mass flow is determined dependent on at least one operating variable. An actual value (m EGR-AV) of the fed-back exhaust gas mass flow is calculated according to the equation m EGR = V/R*TL* delta pL - mFG + mCYL, in which R is the gas constant of the charge air, V is the volume of the intake manifold (1) down-stream of the compressor (10) and mCYL is a mass-flow into one cylinder (20) of the IC engine, which is determined from performance data depending on the charge pressure (pL) and the revs (N). Delta pL is the time derivative of the charge pressure (pL) which is determined by numerical differentiation of the measured charge pressure (pL). An actuating signal is determined for the exhaust-gas return valve (51) dependent on the desired value (m EGR-SP) and the actual value (m EGR-AV) of the fed-back exhaust gas mass flow.

Patent DE-19819133-A1 (DE)
Inventor: BERG MATTHIAS
IPC: B29C37/00
Filed: 1998-04-29
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for surface-coating an interior fitting for vehicles with a layer of paint or resin. According to this method, the interior fitting (30) to be coated is placed in a cavity of a form tool (10) whose inner wall is located at a set distance from the interior fitting in the area of the surface to be coated. This produces a gap (14) of essentially constant thickness, extending over the entire surface to be coated. This gap (14) is filled with a liquid surface-coating material and said material is hardened in the gap. The aim of the invention is to develop a method of this type in such a way that the quality of the surface coating is improved as far as possible without any additional re-treatment. To this end, the surface-coating material has at least two components which are mixed together in a mixing and feeding arrangement (18) immediately before the gap is filled and then fed to said gap. After the gap has been filled, the form tool is separated from the mixing and feeding arrangement and the surface-coating material in the gap is hardened essentially at atmospheric pressure.
