A method for determining the phase position of at least one camshaft of an internal combustion engine, the phase position for at least one camshaft being determined on the basis of operating variables of the air system.

A method and a device for controlling the drive unit of a vehicle are provided, setpoint selection variables and characteristic variables being received, which represent the way the setpoint selection variable is set. In a coordinator, setpoint selection variables and characteristic variables are coordinated independently from one another and one of the variables is selected, on which the control of the drive unit is based. In a converter, the selected setpoint selection variable and characteristic variable are converted into control signals, the control signals being selected on the basis of the setpoint selection variable and the characteristic variable, optionally considering further operating variables, for example, the operating state of the drive unit.

A method and a device for controlling operational sequences, particularly in a vehicle, at least one sensor having a connection unit being connected via a bus system to at least one control unit for controlling the operational sequences, the control unit likewise having a connection unit, and sensor information being transmitted to the control unit. The control unit reads in and/or processes the sensor information at specifiable synchronization points. A trigger signal is transmitted by the control unit via the bus system to the sensor in such a way with an allowance that the sensor information is available in a manner that it is able to be read in and/or processed exactly at the synchronization point for the control unit.

Method and device for controlling operational sequences

A method and a device for controlling operational sequences, particularly in a vehicle, at least one sensor having a connection unit being connected via a bus system to at least one control unit for controlling the operational sequences, the control unit likewise having a connection unit, and sensor information being transmitted to the control unit, the control unit reading in and/or processing the sensor information at specifiable synchronization points, the synchronization points being ascertained independently of one another in the control unit and in the sensor by, in each case, a synchronization element in such a way with an allowance that the sensor information is available at the synchronization point for the control unit in a manner that it is able to be read in and/or processed.

The invention is directed to an electronic control apparatus for forming a fuel-metering signal for an internal combustion engine wherein increased fuel metering occurs during the start and post-start phases of the engine. With the electronic control apparatus, an index is formed for the pressure in the intake manifold of the engine and the gradient of the index is formed. The increased metering of fuel is reduced in dependence upon the gradient.
