Title: Condensation control for internal combustion engine having an exhaust gas recirculation circuit
Inventor: RIMNAC PHILLIP F
IPC: F02M25/07
Filed: 2002-12-16
Abstract: A system and method for controlling an internal combustion engine to reduce or eliminate formation of EGR condensate is disclosed. Said method comprises monitoring current ambient 200 and engine operating conditions 210 and determining whether conditions are favourable for condensation of the EGR gases 222. If said conditions are favourable the engine is controlled accordingly 228 to avoid condensation; preferably by increasing the intake manifold temperature. The intake manifold temperature may be increased by redirecting some or all of the EGR flow 230 to avoid an EGR cooler. Alternatively, or in combination, some or all of the charge air may be redirected 232 to bypass the charge air cooler and/ or redirected from the outlet of a turbocharger compressor to the intake, effectively increasing the intake air temperature and resulting in a corresponding increase of the intake manifold temperature. Conditions favourable for condensation may be determined based on engine speed and load 214, ambient temperature 202, manifold pressure 216, scheduled or actual EGR flow rate 218 and scheduled or actual air/fuel ratio 220.

Patent GB-2393279-A (GB)
Title: Manipulating data in a plurality of processing elements
Inventor: BEAUMONT MARK
IPC: G06F7/02
Filed: 2003-04-23
Abstract: The present invention is capable of placing or loading input data into a 2D or 3D array of processing elements interconnected in a variety of ways, and moving the data around by using a combination of shifts, e.g. north, south, east, west, which can be combined in any desired manner. The exact type and combination of shifts depends upon the particular data manipulation desired. As the shifting proceeds, each processing element is presented with a plurality of different array values. Each processing element can conditionally load any of the values it sees into the output result. The timing of the loading is achieved by monitoring a local counter. In a preferred embodiment, when the value in the local counter is non-positive, the current array value is selected as the final output for the output result. In general, each local counter is initialized to a different positive value and, at certain points in the shifting process, the counter is decremented. The initial value of the counter depends upon its location, and is given by the general function f(x_Index, y_Index, z_Index), with the exact form of f( ) depending upon the particular data manipulation desired.

Title: An engine with several operating modes including operation by compressed air
Inventor: TURNER JAMES WILLIAM GRIFFITH
IPC: F02D13/04
Filed: 2003-05-28
Abstract: An internal combustion engine has a combustion chamber 12 which is connected to a reservoir 16 for storing compressed air. Gas flow control valve 15 controls the flow of air between the chamber and reservoir so that pressurised air in the chamber 12 can be relayed to charge the reservoir 16, and can be delivered to the chamber 12 to drive the piston 10. The operating modes are as follows: 1) inlet air is admitted to the chamber, fuel delivered, the mixture compressed and combusted, expanding the volume of the chamber and the combusted gases exhausted to the atmosphere; 2) inlet air is admitted, compressed and then allowed to flow into the reservoir via the gas control valve and stored; 3) the gas flow control valve allows compressed air from the reservoir to the chamber where it expands and is then exhausted to the atmosphere.

Title: Valve with means to prevent relative rotation of its plunger and seat
Inventor: LEHR DOUGLAS J
IPC: E21B33/12
Filed: 2005-04-27
Abstract: A valve 100 comprises a plunger 150 and a seat 110. The engaging faces of the plunger and seat aim to prevent their relative rotation and to this end can be non-spherical and comprise facets 171, serrations on the facets (figure 5b) or serrations on a frustocone (figure 5d). An O-ring can also be provided to improve sealing of the faces. A lug 160 or protrusion can be provided on the plunger and a groove 130 on the seat to prevent rotation within a mandrel. The lug 160 also limits axial movement of the plunger 150. The valve arrangement can be used as a plug in an expandable packer (figures 7 and 8). The specific gravity of the plunger can be less than the specific gravity of a downhole fluid if it is to be used as a cement retainer and slightly more than the specific gravity of the downhole fluid if it is to be used as a frac plug. The invention aids drilling out of plugs by preventing the plug from rotating with the drill bit.

Title: Double hull formed from elastomer laminate plating
Inventor: KENNEDY STEPHEN JOHN
IPC: B63B3/20
Filed: 2002-05-31
Abstract: A hull section 3 comprises an outer hull and an inner hold 5 with a bottom 220 defining on a first side at least a part of the bottom of said outer hull and on a second side the bottom of said inner hold. Inner side shells 230 and 232 define the side walls of the inner hold, while bottom outer side shells 10 and 212 define the side walls of the outer hull and parts of the bottom of the outer hull not defined by the bottom hull wall. The bottom of the outer hull and the inner hold comprises a first layer, a second layer and an intermediate layer of elastomer bonded to said first and second layers, so as to transfer shear forces therebetween. By forming the hull section with such three layered structures the stiffness of the hull can be significantly increased, thus reducing the number of separate stiffeners required in the hull structure.
