    摘要: Various embodiments include a method for monitoring the tank content of a storage tank comprising: metering a fluid from the tank into the exhaust gas tract, wherein the fluid has a concentration with respect to a reducing agent; acquiring a current concentration value for the reducing agent; calculating a change in concentration of the reducing agent on the basis of the current concentration value in comparison with a stored concentration value; determining a current operating state of the vehicle to identify an operating state in which refueling cannot be carried out; and carrying out a plausibility check of the calculated change in concentration if the calculated change in concentration exceeds a predetermined threshold value and the operating state is identified. The plausibility check includes acquiring the current tank filling level of the fluid.

    摘要: A sensor system includes a receiver circuit including a receiver electrode, a transmitter electrode, and control logic. The control logic is configured to determine that an amplitude of a transmitter electrode output signal is greater than an amplitude threshold. Based on this determination, the control logic is configured to whether a frequency of the transmitter electrode output signal is within an allowed frequency range. Based on a determination that the frequency of the transmitter electrode output signal is not within the allowed frequency range, the control logic is configured to determine that noise is present in the system.

    摘要: In some embodiments, a method includes: setting an actuation time based on a predefined injection quantity; detecting a duration of a resulting closing process; calculating an injection quantity based on the time and the duration; determining the difference of the injection quantity and the predefined quantity; and determining a corrected value of the actuation time based on the difference; and using the corrected value to control further actuation of the fuel injector. The injection quantities and the actuation time are on a characteristic diagram of the relationship between the actuation time, the duration of the closing process, and the injection quantity.

    摘要: Various embodiments include a flow meter comprising: at least two sensors arranged at a set distance from one another; and a ring-shaped carrier configured to mount the flow meter between two tube segments of a conduit on a flange face of a tube section of the conduit. The at least two sensors are located at a respective free end of an extension extending from the ring-shaped carrier part. The extensions are aligned substantially perpendicularly to a plane defined by the carrier part. The at least two sensors define a signal path. The signal path comprises a component perpendicular to the plane defined by the carrier part.
