Patent GB-2522972-A (GB)
Title: Telescopic sight
Inventor: MOLL MARIO
IPC: F41G1/38
Filed: 2014-12-04
Abstract: The invention relates to a telescopic sight 100 with at least one inner tube 5 (5 & 6, fig.1) movable relative to an outer tube 1 transverse to the axis A of the sight 100, and first and second setting devices 17, 27 for transverse adjustment of the inner tube 5. At least one spring element 19 is arranged between the outer tube 1 and the inner tube 5 to produce a restoring force on the inner tube 5. The spring element 19 is a conical compression spring. The use of a conical spring allows a high spring deflection to be achieved while not requiring the spring to be long. The spring 19 thus occupies a small space and it is possible to design the sight 100 so that the outer tube 1 has a substantially uniform diameter in the region of the setting devices 17, 27. The invention finds particular use in telescopic sights with magnifications of 8X and compensation facilities for target distances of >2000m; such sights typically require the capability for extended displacement of the inner tube 5.

Title: Method of modelling afr to compensate for wraf sensor
Inventor: DAMIEN DIDIOT
IPC: F02D41/14
Filed: 2016-05-24
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of providing a model which gives the parameter of the air/fuel ratio AFR3 at an air/fuel sensor located in an internal combustion engine. The method comprises the steps of providing a first model which gives the air/fuel ratio AFR1 which is outlet from the exhaust manifold of the engine; measuring or estimating the volumetric flow through the exhaust; applying a transfer function to the air/fuel ratio AFR1 determined by the first model to provide a value for the air/fuel ratio AFR3 at the location of the sensor. The transfer function includes a first order lag filter to adjust for the exhaust gas travel time from the exhaust manifold to the sensor and is dependent on the volumetric flow. In the model the value of a determined time constant τ or filter coefficient K of the transfer function is amended by applying a correction factor. The correction factor is determined or updated based on a comparison of the computed value of the modelled air/fuel ratio AFR3 at the sensor location with the value from the actual air/fuel sensor AFR4. The method provides a means of feedback correction of the lag time for exhaust gas to pass from the exhaust gas manifold to an air/fuel senor in the exhaust, such as a wide range air/fuel sensor WRAF.
