Angular adjustment of a camshaft in an internal combustion engine. A vibrational condition of the camshaft is recorded, and an enabling of the camshaft adjustment and/or the use of the instantaneous value of the camshaft position are/is dependent at least temporarily on the recorded vibrational condition.

Method for operating an internal combustion engine

A sensor is provided, in particular a gas sensor for determining the concentration of a gas component in a measuring gas, which has a sensor element that projects from a housing by a measuring-gas-side end section exposed to the measuring gas, and a sheath tube having gas passageways, which is placed over the measuring-gas-side end section and affixed on the housing. To prevent condensation of water vapor contained in the measuring gas in the measuring space enclosed by the housing and the sheath tube, and thus the production of water droplets that reach the hot sensor element, sheath tube and/or sensor element are/is thermally decoupled from the housing. The thermal decoupling is produced using, for instance, a flange sleeve made of a material having poor thermal conductivity, which separates the sheath tube from the housing by a flange and, via a sleeve section, is inserted in the space between the housing and the measuring-gas-side end section of the sensor element.

Throttle device for an internal combustion engine

Throttle valve housing formed of molded plastic

A known fuel injection apparatus, in which fuel and foreign matter outside the fuel injection valve can not flow past the injection valves because a flow opening is disposed between fuel supply conduit and fuel outlet conduit and of which degassing of the fuel takes place before it enters the injection valve, any foreign matter entrained in the fuel will not give rise to malfunctions in a pressure regulation. The penetration of foreign matter into the pressure regulator is prevented by means of an appropriate choice of the dimensions of the flow opening, which is provided between a filter element of the fuel injection valve and the wall of a receiving bore. The fuel injection apparatus is employed in fuel injection systems for mixture compressing internal combustion engines with externally supplied ignition.
