    摘要: The aim of the invention is to provide a flexible testing assembly comprising a test object at a testing device for performing a test phase of a test sequence using measured values (M) of the test object. This aim is achieved in that the test object comprises a measuring module, wherein a test sensor is provided in the measuring module and designed to acquire the measured values (M) of the test object. A communications device is provided in the measuring module and designed to transmit the measured values (M) to an evaluation unit of the testing device, wherein the evaluation unit is designed to process the measured values (M) in order to perform the test phase of the test sequence.

    摘要: Various aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a cylinder head for an internal combustion engine. In one example embodiment, the cylinder head includes at least one spark plug having at least one earth electrode, a precombustion chamber accommodating the at least one spark plug, and a fuel channel which leads into the precombustion chamber. The fuel channel having a flow axis at an outlet that is oriented in the direction of the at least one earth electrode. An axis of rotation of the at least one spark plug has an offset with respect to the flow axis between 0 and 15% of the greatest precombustion chamber diameter.

    摘要: A measuring device for metering a fluid. The measuring device includes a container with the fluid, a fluid inlet which is fluidically connected to the container, a fluid outlet which is fluidically connectable with a metering point, a metering line which connects the fluid inlet with the fluid outlet, a delivery pump arranged in the metering line, a density sensor arranged in the metering line, a flow meter arranged in the metering line, and a recirculation line which is arranged to branch off from the metering line downstream of the flow meter and to open into the container. The flow meter is arranged in a measuring unit housing which is arranged at a distance from a pump unit housing in which at least the delivery pump is arranged. The pump unit housing is detachably connected to the measuring unit housing via a connection portion of the metering line.

    摘要: In order to devise a method for validating a assumed position (P1) of a vehicle, a vehicle receiver (1) receives a V2X message (3) transmitted by a transmitter (2) and determines a position (p2) of the transmitter (2) from the V2X message, wherein local environmental geodata comprising positions of a number of stationary objects (O1, O2, O3, O4) is made available, a signal path (x) of the V2X message (3) is simulated on the basis of the transmitter position (p2) taking into account the environmental geodata and the assumed vehicle position (P1), and at least one simulated physical received signal property is determined from the simulated signal path (x) and the assumed vehicle position (P1). When receiving the V2X message, at least one actual physical received signal property of the V2X message (3) is determined, and the assumed vehicle position (P1) is validated if the at least one simulated physical received signal property differs from the at least one actual physical received signal property by less than a limit value (G).
