Title: I.c. engine pump-line-nozzle fuel-injection system
Inventor: BOECKING FRIEDRICH
IPC: F02M51/00
Filed: 2000-12-18
Abstract: The fuel injection system comprises, for each cylinder of the engine, a respective fuel pump 10 connected by a line 14 to a fuel-injection valve 12 (this is known as a pump-line-nozzle system). In order to control the injection process, a first electrically controllable control valve 24 is disposed on the fuel pump 10 to control a connection of the high pressure side of the fuel pump 10 to a relief chamber 22. The commencement of the fuel-injection process is determined by time at which the first control valve 24 closes. In proximity to the fuel-injection valve 12, there is disposed a second electrically controllable, eg solenoid or piezoelectric, control valve 28 which controls a connection of the fuel volume in the fuel-injection valve 12 to a relief chamber 22. The end of the fuel-injection process is determined by the time at which the second control valve 28 opens, whereby the fuel volume in the fuel-injection valve 12 is rapidly relieved and therefore the fuel-injection valve 12 is closed in a rapid manner. The system is thus able to provide a small preliminary injection or injection in which there is a progression of the injection quantity from a reduced quantity at commencement.

Title: Gassing of containers
Inventor: CHRISTY MICHAEL DAVID
IPC: B65B55/10
Filed: 2001-05-18
Abstract: A method of introducing a gas (25) into each of a succession of containers (11) advancing along a path A to reduce wastage. The required gas is fed into a first container, and any gas displaced from the first container is collected as the required gas is fed thereinto. The displaced gas, which constitutes a mixture of the required gas and the gas previously in the container, is then fed into a following container on the path. The step of collecting and feeding gas may be simultaneously performed on a succession of containers. The gas displaced from the last container is exhausted to atmosphere. The gas may be fed into each container at a rate sufficient to cause turbulent mixing of the gases, and monitoring apparatus may be used to control the feeding of gas dependant on the composition of gasses exiting a container. The containers may be moved by a conveyor (10) to successive collecting/feeding stations (18).

Abstract: A system for controlling the speed of a vehicle comprises an internal combustion engine 10 and a hydrostatic transmission . Wherein the hydrostatic transmission has a variable displacement pump 12 and at least on hydraulic engine. A first controller 22 compares a measured actual vehicle travel speed with a desired speed to produce a speed error. The corresponding motive force of the ic engine 10 is determined based on the speed error. In a further stage the actual speed and the motive force are provided to a characteristic stage 34 (eg. a look up table) to determine the optimal engine rpm. A second controller 20 determines a pump pressure error by comparison of a desired pump pressure and an actual measured pump pressure. The pump pressure is controlled by varying the displacement of the pump. Said desired pump pressure is determined from the motive force requirement of the ic engine and further parameters of the drive system.
