Abstract: For controlling the injection of fuel in a direct injected, multi-cylinder internal combustion engine (10) to smooth transients in engine output torque associated with a deceleration fuel cut-off mode of engine operation, in response to detected operating conditions, a transitional period is initiated, during which the injection of fuel into a varying portion of engine cylinders (CYL1 - CYL3) is then interrupted. When the transitional period is associated with entry into the deceleration fuel cut-off mode, the injection of fuel to a progressively increasing number of cylinders (CYL1 - CYL3) is interrupted. When the transitional period is associated with recovery from the deceleration fuel cut-off mode, the injection of fuel to a progressively decreasing number of engine cylinders (CYL1 - CYL3) is interrupted. The rate of entry into the fuel cut-off mode is preferably fixed, while the rate of recovery is determined in accordance with the position of an engine control element (38) for adjusting the amount of torque developed at the engine output. Alternatively, the rate of recovery may be determined by the maximum rate of positional change of the engine control element (38).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for forming and dispensing a coating material formulation containing a liquid coating composition and a supercritical fluid as a diluent comprises a closed vessel having a hollow interior; a system for supplying fluid diluent into the vessel interior and for transforming the fluid diluent into supercritical fluid within the vessel; and, a system for introducing liquid coating composition into the vessel interior in such a way, that it is sufficiently exposed to the supercritical fluid to form a fluid diluent rich phase and a liquid coating composition or resin rich phase which is saturated with supercritical fluid up to or near its saturation point for the temperature and pressure conditions within the vessel. The resin rich phase has a higher density than the fluid diluent rich phase and therefore collects on the bottom of the vessel from where it is withdrawn and supplied to coating dispensers for deposition on a substrate. The coating material formulation which is not discharged from the dispensers is preferably recirculated back into the closed vessel in such a way that it is permitted to absorb sufficient supercritical fluid to return to the saturation point.

Abstract: A light transmitter comprising a distributed Bragg reflector laser and mode stabilization feedback means is described for maintaining the laser in single longitudinal mode operation. The Bragg reflector is electrically tunable via an electrode (12). An oscillator (21) provides a small oscillating component to the tuning current applied to the electrode. An integrated photodetector (14) provides a photocurrent and the oscillating component is detected by a lock-in amplifier (20). The output of the detector, which varies with the first derivative of the light output with respect to tuning current, is added to the tuning current, thus completing a feed-back loop. The effect is to keep the centre of the Bragg reflectivity characteristic centred on the main mode.

Title: Ion-laser tube
Inventor: NISHIDA KAZUHISA
IPC: H01S3/032
Filed: 1992-11-23
Abstract: An ion-laser tube having a high output characteristic includes a slender discharge tube (1) made of silicon carbide with a high resistance to sputtering caused by high energy ions and electrons produced by a large discharge current. The discharge tube (1) has an inner wall surface of small roughness, typically approximately 4 micrometers or smaller. Such small roughness in the inner wall surface of the discharge tube (1) prevents silicon carbide molecules existing in the inner wall surface thereof from being sputtered by high energy ions and electrons. As a result, the ion-laser tube is free from substantial reduction of laser output. The ion-laser tube also includes a tubular enclosure member (3) for enclosing the discharge tube, which is made of aluminium nitride having a high heat conductivity.
