Title: Engine Parameter Signal Estimation
Inventor: LIU FEILONG
IPC: G01M15/04
Filed: 2006-10-13
Abstract: An engine management system computes an estimation of a first signal representative of a engine parameter (e.g., engine cylinder pressure) based on a second signal dependent upon a measured engine operation parameter (e.g., engine speed) and applies a bias compensation to the estimation of the first signal to determine the first signal representative of the first engine parameter. The estimation of the first signal may be computed using frequency analysis. The fourier transform of the second signal may be calculated, the result divided by a transfer function, and then the inverse fourier transform of the result of the division taken in order to compute the estimation of the first signal.

Title: Tape cartridge reel and engaging reel drive member
Inventor: TURNER PHILIP
IPC: G11B15/32
Filed: 2007-01-31
Abstract: A tape cartridge includes a housing and a tape reel 112 that is rotatable about an axis of rotation 122. The tape reel is adapted to cooperably engage a reel drive member 114 of a data transfer apparatus that, in use, applies a drive torque to the tape reel to rotate the tape reel about the axis of rotation 122. The cooperable engagement of the tape reel and reel drive member is such as to secure the tape reel to the reel drive member to at least substantially prevent tipping of the tape reel with respect to the reel drive member. The reel drive member has engagement formations 194 that engage cam surfaces (166) on tape reel engagement formations 164 so that rotation of the drive member clamps the reel to the drive member. The engagement of the reel with the reel drive member enables a lower height drive member to reduce tape drive dimensions.

Title: The treatment of bones in food with ultrasound
Inventor: LINDSAY DAVID
IPC: A23L5/30
Filed: 2008-12-20
Abstract: Food is treated with ultrasound so that indigestible bones are altered to a condition for conveniently removing the bones, making the food suitable for consumption. A bone weakening or bone disintegrating effect is applied to fish bones by the application of the technique of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. High pressure shock waves pass through the flesh of the fish so that either the resulting disintegrated bone material is present as particulate matter which can be filtered from the flesh of the fish, or the flesh of the fish can be subsequently separated from the bones. A fish deboning apparatus 1 is comprises a receptacle for receiving the fish and surrounding with water, before the application of ultrasonic waves from above. Other methods involving the use of ultrasound in the treatment of deposits in appliances and pipe systems are described.
