A method and apparatus for controlling the volume stream of a sub-quantity which is continuously removed from a gas stream and which is supplied and mixed with a gaseous dilutant stream, the sub-quantity is conducted from the main stream through a back-up region where the control of the flow of sub-quantity without affecting its composition is effected by a counterflow in a back-up region which is controllably directed in opposition to the sub-quantity flow such as by an annular upstream directed gap surrounding the sub-quantity conduit or by openings which are directed in a direction against the sub-quantity flow or by a pipe directing a flow against the discharge end of the sub-quantity flow. The sub-quantity flow is mixed in a mixing tunnel with a dilution gas and a small quantity of this mixed gas is removed for testing.

In a method and apparatus for the evaluation of a starter motor current or of a magnitude proportional to it for determining the relative compressions of the cylinders of an internal combustion engine, in order to eliminate the distortion of the compression relationships between the individual cylinders, account is taken of the current/speed characteristic of the starter motor. Using a direct current series motor as the starter, from the starter current there is derived a magnitude N proportional to the actual speed according to the relationship N =1/i+k*i where i is the motor current. The correction factor K serves to take account of the departure of the characteristic from a hyperbolic curve.

A pressure sensor which comprises one or more measuring elements situated in a housing and a plate membrane sealing the housing against the medium to be measured and being attached to the measuring element on order to transmit the pressure to be measured, the plate membrane having curved or conically-shaped part which extends into the interior of the housing and compensates for temperature shock drifting.
