A fuel supply system, having a housing, in which a pistonlike element is disposed longitudinally displaceably in a bore and is guided sealingly in the bore by a guide portion. On one end, the guide portion adjoins a first fuel-filled chamber, and on its other end it adjoins a second fuel-filled chamber. At least one recess extending at least approximately in the circumferential direction is embodied in the guide portion of the pistonlike element and extends over at least part of the circumference of the pistonlike element and, viewed in the longitudinal direction of the pistonlike element, has an asymmetrical cross section.

Fuel supply for internal combustion engines

In an apparatus and a method for monitoring a drive unit of a vehicle and/or components allocated thereto, a torque variable is determined that characterizes the torque requirement of the drive unit and/or the allocated components. Faults are recognized on the basis of the torque variable and/or a variable on the basis of which the torque variable is determined.

Method and apparatus for monitoring a drive unit of a vehicle and/or components allocated thereto

A motor vehicle data processing apparatus includes an operating data acquisition device for acquiring at least one operating data value, in particular engine speed, engine load, and the like, while the vehicle is in operation. The motor vehicle data processing apparatus also includes an operating data processing device for processing the acquired operating data and storing corresponding processed operating data in an associated storage device, and an action determination device for examining the stored processed operating data and determining the need to execute a predetermined action as a function of an examination result according to a predefined criteria.

Motor vehicle data processing apparatus

A method and a device for controlling operating sequences in a vehicle using at least one control unit having at least one non-volatile memory element, control being performed as a function of the respective vehicle version and/or control unit version, and the respective functions are selected during function selection by defining an identifier according to the version used, at least one predefinable data record and/or program code in the memory element corresponding to the selected functions, and the data record and/or program code being selected from a plurality of data records and/or program codes. The plurality of data records and/or program codes is generated during a version selection, the identifier containing configuration parameters, and the configuration parameters being used for determining the data record and/or the program code, the respective identifier, i.e. the configuration parameters being used for the selection of the version and the selection of the function.

Method and device for controlling operating sequences in a vehicle

A computer system for controlling the operation of a drive of a motor vehicle includes a plurality of different predetermined components each including at least one functional unit. Such components include a first component representing the motor vehicle as a whole and second component representing the drive. A plurality of interfaces is interposed between these components, being operative for transmitting data between such components. At least one storage stores information concerning such components and interfaces. The functional units mentioned above and the vehicle as a whole are controlled by controlling the above-mentioned components inclusive of the first component. In performing the control, request signals and inquiry signals are generated and transmitted through the interfaces between the components. The operation of the drive is controlled in dependence on the data exchanged between the components through the interfaces.

Overall motor vehicle control

A control system of a vehicle is suggested, which has several components (,to,), which are arranged in different logical levels with at least one coordination component (,), which monitors the making available of power and the power requirement of at least one type of resource which is needed by at least two consumers, and with at least one component (,) which makes the resource available, with at least two components (,) which consume the resource; coordination components and consuming components are arranged in one logical level, characterized in that the component, which makes available the resource, is arranged in a subordinated level of a consuming component (,) and the coordination component (,) inquires of the component, which makes available the resource, as to its power capacity with respect to the resource.
