    Abstract: An arrangement for lambda control operates on an internal combustion engine (11) comprising a catalytic converter (12) and a lambda probe (13.v) mounted in front of the catalytic converter and a lambda probe (13.h) mounted behind the catalytic converter. The arrangement integrates by means of an integration means (15) the difference between the actual lambda value measured by the rear probe and the lambda desired value to which controlling is to be effected. The integration value is used as control desired value for a means (16) for lambda control. This arrangement and the associated method make it possible to control to the actually wanted lambda desired value even if the front lambda probe carries out incorrect measurements, for example because of hydrocarbons in the exhaust gas in front of the catalytic converter or, in the case of continuous-action control, faulty linearization of the probe characteristic.

    Abstract: An electronic butterfly valve adjusting mechanism wherein the current supply to the adjusting motor (6), which is equivalent to the sum of all of the mechanical moments acting on the motor shaft, is monitored and a "window" is preselected within which the motor current/moment must lie if the butterfly valve and its adjusting components are operating normally. If, in the static case, the sum of all of the mechanical moments acting on the motor shaft is detected to be outside the "window" then it is concluded that a mechanical fault condition exists and the maximum possible angle of the butterfly valve is arranged to be reduced to a safe level. The driver can also be warned by a suitable visual signal.

    Abstract: A control system for controlling the air/fuel ratio in an internal combustion engine 10, in which an oxygen probe (lambda probe) 13 is arranged in the exhaust gas of the internal combustion engine 10, has a control device 12 for continuous control. The actual value of the air ratio lambda is determined via a measured probe output voltage in conjunction with an at least approximately predetermined probe-characteristic relationship 16 between the value of the probe output voltage and the value of the air ratio lambda associated therewith. After forming the difference of desired value and actual value of the air ratio lambda, the air/fuel ratio is controlled on the basis of this difference. Such a control system is used primarily in order to reduce the total emission of the main pollutant components of the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine. In particular in the case of an internal combustion engine 10 with catalytic converter arranged in the exhaust gas, a maintenance of the air ratio lambda as accurate as possible necessary for optimum efficiency of the catalytic converter (lambda=1) is assured.

    Abstract: The invention is directed to a method and an apparatus for adapting the characteristic of a final controlling element to eliminate disturbances and other undesired influencing quantities and, particularly for adapting the controller characteristic for the idle air charge control of internal combustion engines. A desired air quantity value issued by a regulator on the basis of various operating conditions is corrected by multiplicative and/or additive action prior to being delivered to an idle control element, for example, by means of which a change is effected in the cross-sectional area of the opening of a bypass valve arranged in the fuel metering arrangement of the internal combustion engine. This correction relates to adapting a characteristic of the idle control element with respect to offset and slope. This is accomplished by evaluating the output signals of at least one offset integrator or one slope integrator to generate an adapted electrical actuating quantity for the idle control element. The integrators are released in dependence on operating conditions and receive an input differential signal obtained from the signal indicative of the desired air quantity value from the regulator and a signal indicative of the actual air quantity.

    Abstract: An apparatus for optimizing operating characteristics of an internal combustion engine on the basis of torque variations based on a test signal, wherein the maximum output torque is determined directly on the basis of the torque signal and the specific fuel consumption is determined indirectly from the torque signal via the efficiency. Either the maximum output torque or the minimum fuel consumption is optimized, depending on the engine load range. Additional apparatus is described for simultaneously optimizing the ignition angle on the basis of torque signals, wherein individual test signals are associated only with individual cylinders or groups of cylinders and the corresponding torque variations relating to the individual cylinders are ascertained and processed.

    Abstract: To effect reliable start-up of electronic systems in which a comparator compares a measured value with a reference, particularly in which a comparator senses current flow through a temperature sensitive resistor exposed to airflow to maintain the resistance value of the resistor at a predetermined level, with respect to the reference, a start-up signal circuit is provided to supply a minimum signal to the comparator before the system is operative so that the comparator will initially provide an output to control the current source for the sensing resistor to heat the sensing resistor to its desired level. The minimum signal is derived, for example, from a voltage divider and connected over a diode to the comparator which, typically, is an operational amplifier, the diode being so poled that, when the signal from the sensing resistor exceeds the minimum signal, it will block, thus cutting off application of the minimum start-up signal from affecting further operation of the circuit.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the proportions of the air-fuel mixture constituents supplied to an internal combustion engine from a mixture preparing device such as a carburator, a fuel injection device or other suitable mixture preparing device. The method according to the invention serves to simplify the processing of output signals that are supplied to a mixture preparing device having at least two .lambda. sensors. The invention is especially suitable for use with large engines with several exhaust conduit systems, such as so-called V-engines, in which generally there is an unequal mixture distribution between the two rows of cylinders. By employing at least two .lambda. sensors in the exhaust gas conduit system for monitoring the exhaust gas composition, one succeeds in determining the mixture composition of the air-fuel mixture applied to all cylinders, and in influencing the air-fuel mixture in a suitable supplementary manner by a feed back of the actual value signals generated by the .lambda. sensors to the fuel preparation device, so that a desirable overall exhaust gas average value can be achieved. The apparatus employs two integrators and suitable logic circuitry for applying the .lambda. sensor signals to the integrators in such a manner that one integrator regulates the entire mixture in the desired direction, according to the sensor signals supplied to it, while the other integrator sets the amplitude of the oscillation fluctuations at a value that corresponds to the .lambda. differential.

    Abstract: An electromotive drive is provided, especially for the pump of a power-assisted steering system of a motor vehicle. The drive includes a housing (3) with a bearing journal (15) in which the shaft (18) of a rotor (9) is rotationally mounted. The drive also includes a stator (7) having drive windings. The bearing journal (15) extends through said stator and supports it. The stator (7) is supported by the bearing journal (15), substantially in the transversal direction only. The stator (7) is coupled with the remaining housing (3) in a rotationally fixed manner, so as to transmit the engine torque. The arrangement dramatically reduces disturbing noises which occur especially when the motor is operated at full load and which are caused by relatively high-frequency torque variations.
