Innovations by Bosch in the field of diesel-injection technology have made a significant contribution to the diesel boom in Europe in the last few years. These systems make the diesel engine at once quieter, more economical, more powerful, and lower in emissions. This reference book provides a comprehensive insight into the extended diesel fuel-injection systems and into the electronic system used to control the diesel engine. This book also focuses on minimizing emissions inside of the engine and exhaust-gas treatment (e.g., by particulate filters). The texts are complemented by numerous detailed drawings and illustrations. This 4th Edition includes new, updated and extended information on several subjects including: History of the diesel engine Common-rail system Minimizing emissions inside the engine Exhaust-gas treatment systems Electronic Diesel Control (EDC) Start-assist systems Diagnostics (On-Board Diagnosis) With these extensions and revisions, the 4th Edition of Diesel-Engine Management gives the reader a comprehensive insight into today's diesel fuel-injection technology.

A fun and stunningly illustrated introduction to the art of linear optimizationLinear optimization is a powerful modeling method for discovering the best solution to a problem among a set of available alternatives. It is one of today’s most important branches of mathematics and computer science—and also a surprisingly rich medium for creating breathtaking works of art. Opt Art takes readers on an entertaining tour of linear optimization and its applications, showing along the way how it can be used to design visual art.Robert Bosch provides a lively and accessible introduction to the geometric, algebraic, and algorithmic foundations of optimization. He presents classical applications, such as the legendary Traveling Salesman Problem, and shows how to adapt them to make optimization art—opt art. Each chapter in this marvelously illustrated book begins with a problem or puzzle and demonstrates how the solution can be derived using a host of artistic methods and media, including 3D printing, laser cutting, and computer-controlled machining. Bosch focuses on mathematical modeling throughout—converting a problem into a workable mathematical form, solving it using optimization techniques, and examining the results, which can take the form of mosaics, line drawings, and even sculpture. All you need is some high-school algebra, geometry, and calculus to follow along.Featuring more than a hundred illustrations and photos of Bosch’s own art, Opt Art demonstrates how mathematics and computing can be used to create beauty and express emotion through amazing works of art.

Klassische Pkw werden gerne als technisches Kulturgut gesehen. Das ist mit ein Grund, weshalb die Zahl derer, die Young- und Oldtimerfahrzeuge technisch in fahrfertigen Zustand versetzen und darin halten, stetig steigt. Hierzu ist technisches Verständnis, wie ein einzelnes Erzeugnis oder ein gesamtes System funktioniert, eine große Hilfe.Das Buch „Klassische Ottomotorsteuerung“, basierend auf der zum Teil stark überarbeiteten und ergänzten Gelben Reihe von Bosch, greift auf 416 Seiten genau diesen Sachverhalt auf und erklärt in anschaulicher Weise die Grundlagen zu Ottomotoren, insbesondere die Themen Gemischaufbereitung und Zündung. Neben klassischen Vergasern und Zündsystemen werden auch sämtliche Jetronic-Systeme abgebildet. Ein Kapitel zur frühen Motronic, die Zündung und Gemischaufbereitung erstmals miteinander vereint, rundet das Gesamtbild ab. Das Buch ist somit für technikaffine Besitzer von Young- und Oldtimerfahrzeugen ein enormer Wissensfundus, um die technischen Funktionen der historischen Technik besser verstehen zu können.

Explores the concept that art promotes healing through a survey of work created for the Robert Bosch Hospital in Germany. Includes 48 commissioned artworks by significant contemporary artists, including some that were created with input from patients. Offers specialist contributions from architecture and art history, healthcare design, art and corporate philosophy. Art can contribute to a healing environment, supporting the work of hospitals and enriching the lives of both patients and staff members. In this book, Isabel Gruener, the art officer at the Robert Bosch Hospital in Stuttgart, explores how the hospital's commissioned art program supports the complex process of healing. Whether it is seriously ill patients in the intensive care unit, visitors in the public corridors, or employees in sterile functional areas: each is affected in their own way by the total of 48 artistic interventions. The narrative describing these art projects, which were created between 1998-2018, is supplemented by specialist contributions from the fields of art, design, and corporate philosophy. They explore an interdisciplinary approach and offer a view towards the future potential of healing art in healing environments. Text in English and German.

​Das Kraftfahrtechnische Taschenbuch ist aus der Welt des Automobils nicht wegzudenken. Seit mehr als 80 Jahren begleitet es als zuverlässige Informationsquelle seine Nutzer. Als Nachschlagewerk mit kompakten Beiträgen bietet es einen zuverlässigen Einblick in den aktuellen Stand der Kraftfahrzeugtechnik. Das Kraftfahrtechnische Taschenbuch geht eingangs auf die für die Kraftfahrzeugtechnik relevanten Grundlagen der Physik, Chemie und Mathematik ein, gibt dann Einblicke in die im Automobil eingesetzten Werkstoffe und beschreibt die im Fahrzeug eingesetzten Betriebsstoffe sowie die wichtigsten Maschinenelemente. Der Verbrennungsmotor mit seinen peripheren Aggregaten ist Gegenstand eines weiteren Themenbereichs. Die Steuerung und Regelung der Motoren sowie die Komponenten und deren Funktion, um die Motoren zu betreiben, sind ausführlich dargestellt. Die Autoren erklären die Komponenten des Antriebsstrangs und behandeln dabei Fragen der Abgas- und Diagnosegesetzgebung ebenso wie die Elektrifizierung. Weitere Themen sind Fahrwerk mit Federung, Radaufhängung, Räder, Reifen, Lenkung und Bremsanlage, Systeme zur Fahrwerksregelung und aktiven Sicherheit sowie passive Sicherheitssysteme.
