IPC: F16K25/00
Filed: 2002-11-12
Abstract: A valve assembly has a valve body (12) having an inlet passageway (54) and an outlet passageway (56). A flow orifice (72) is disposed within valve body and provides flow communication between the inlet passageway (54) and outlet passageway (56). A valve seat (70) cooperates with the flow orifice (72) and a variable port valve plug (60) to open and close the valve. The valve plug (60) has a plug body with a conically-shaped smooth tapered wall (82), a proximal end, and a domed distal end (88) surface that smoothly transitions into the tapered wall (82). The valve plug (60) is movable between an open position out of contact with the valve seat (70) and a closed position borne against the valve seat (70). A maximum open position of the valve plug relative to the valve seat (70) can be selectively changed to vary flow characteristics through the valve assembly.

IPC: F02C9/26
Filed: 2007-10-09
Abstract: Engine control arrangement utilise a number of potential control loop regimes optimised for particular engine conditions. These loops may relate to transient conditions or engine steady state. The choice of engine control loop is made by a selector by the error divergence between measured signals and reference signals. These reference signals generate adjustment demands for the engine. It is possible for the nature of the selector to select the steady state control loop prior to acquisition of the desired target performance criteria. The steady state control loop will take longer to achieve the optimum performance conditions. The present invention provides for a multiplier (16), such as squaring of the error divergence (15), in order to retain authority for the transient control loop control beyond the normal selector determined error divergence criteria.
