Title: Fuel injection control apparatus for engines
Inventor: TANAKA HIROSHI
IPC: F02D41/14
Filed: 2003-10-31
Abstract: To prevent an ignition plug from becoming wet with unburned fuel due to a lack of enough rotating power when the engine is started by a kick. A crankshaft reference position detector 25 determines whether a crankshaft pulser signal corresponds to the top dead center of an intake stroke. If the crankshaft pulser signal is from an intake stroke, then a crankshaft angular velocity detector 26 detects a crankshaft angular velocity. The crankshaft angular velocity is represented by the time of a stage. The time of the stage is input to a comparator 27, which compares it with a reference time Tref. If the crankshaft angular velocity is larger them a predetermined value, then a duty cycle for a fuel injector is calculated. If the crankshaft angular velocity is smaller than the predetermined value, then a duty cycle indicative of a fuel injection quantity is set to zero.

Title: Acoustic doppler downhole fluid flow measurement
Inventor: RODNEY PAUL F
IPC: E21B47/10
Filed: 2003-05-14
Abstract: An apparatus and system are disclosed for in situ measurement of downhole fluid flow using Doppler frequency shift/phase shift techniques. First, a baseline speed of sound is established as close to the measurement point as possible. This speed of sound measurement is then used in Doppler calculations for determining flow velocities based from induced Doppler shift resulting from fluid flow. A heterodyne receiver arrangement is preferably used for processing so that the flow direction can be determined and the detection sensitivity for low flow velocities can be enhanced. From in situ measurements, well kicks may be spotted and dealt with in real-time. In addition, current theoretical models of rheological properties may be verified and expounded upon using in situ downhole measurement techniques with flowrate or velocity profile sensors (13a, 13b, 13c & 13d) of a drillstring (8) Furthermore, the velocity measurements described herein can be used to recognize downhole lost circulation and/or gas/water/oil influxes as early as possible, even when the mud recirculation pumps (16) are turned off.
