A method for operating a generator for an internal combustion engine of a vehicle having a starting operating mode and a start-stop operating mode, a torque of the generator being delimited in the starting operating mode, including: detecting an operating mode of the vehicle, and deactivating a delimitation of the torque of the generator if the detected operating mode corresponds to the start-stop operating mode.

Method and device for operating a generator

Methods for ascertaining the combustion noises of an internal combustion engine need only a structure-borne noise sensor and may be carried out using little computing power.

Method for ascertaining the noise emission of an internal combustion engine

A method and a device for controlling an internal combustion engine, in which a noise variable is compared to a setpoint value, and an actuating variable is specified based on the comparison. The noise variable is computed using a weighted summation of at least two characteristics.

Method and device for controlling an internal combustion engine

A device and a method for controlling and/or regulating an internal combustion engine, in particular an internal combustion engine having direct injection. A regulation adjusts a combustion state variable, that characterizes the combustion state, to a setpoint value. A control and/or a regulation influences a torque variable that characterizes the torque of the internal combustion engine and/or the noise variable that characterizes the noise of the internal combustion engine, using a control variable.

Method and device for controlling and/or regulating an internal combustion engine

A method is described for determining the angle-of-rotation position (&#x3c6;) of a shaft of an internal combustion engine, in particular a crank angle (&#x3c6;) of a crankshaft, information at least about incremental angles of rotation (&#x394;&#x3c6;) of the shaft and running times (T) for each incremental angle of rotation (&#x394;&#x3c6;) being detected on the basis of signals which indicate the rotation of the shaft and are spaced with intervals between them, and stored at least temporarily the instantaneous angle-of-rotation position (&#x3c6;) being determined in the period of time between two signals by extrapolation of the angle-of-rotation position (&#x3c6;) thus detected, taking into account at least one angular velocity ({overscore (&#x3c9;)}) and/or change in angular velocity (&#x394;{overscore (&#x3c9;)}) extrapolated from the stored information. In addition, a corresponding device is also described.
