20110203393CROSSCUT GRAIN SAMPLER - A sampling device having an elongate member positioned in the connecting section of a swing type auger is provided. The member has a channel facing into a flow of particulate matter passing through the connecting section and an open end. The member is attached to a rotating shaft. When the auger system is in operation and particulate matter is flowing through the connecting section, the arm rotates perpendicularly through the flow of particulate material and a portion of this particulate material is collected in the channel of the rotating member. The rotation of the member causes the collected particulate material to move along the length of the rotating member until it is thrown out the open end of the member, where a sample can be collected through an aperture in the side of the connecting section.08-25-2011

20140144416METHOD AND DEVICE FOR OPERATING AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - The internal combustion engine includes at least one cylinder, an exhaust gas tract having a measuring device, and a tank ventilation system having a purge air line, which provides pneumatic communication between the tank ventilation system and the cylinder. The purge air line has a sensor for ascertaining a hydrocarbon content of a gas flow from the tank ventilation system to the at least one cylinder. Fuel metering into the cylinder is controlled dependent on the ascertained hydrocarbon content. An exhaust gas characteristic of an exhaust gas flow that flows in the exhaust gas tract is detected by the measuring device and compared with a specified target value.
