Title: Air fuel ratio control
Inventor: DAVIS ROBERT M
IPC: F02D41/30
Filed: 1993-02-11
Abstract: A method of controlling the mass of air and fuel delivered to an internal combustion engine per cylinder per cycle by first determining the required fuel per cycle for the existing engine operating conditions, and then setting the air supply to the engine to provide the required air/fuel ratio for the determined fuel per cycle requirement. Thereafter, determining the actual air supply to the engine, and adjusting the fuel per cycle so the actual air/fuel ratio is greater or less than predetermined limits of the required air/fuel ratio. A look-up map can be provided in an electronic engine management system with preset air/fuel ratios against engine speed and load. The map is arranged with the predetermined limits of the required air/fuel ratio selected to prevent a specific condition such as engine misfire or for catalyst and/or emission considerations.

Filed: 1994-03-14
Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for copolymerizing a dicarboxylic acid, a dialkyl ester, and a diol in the presence of a transesterification catalyst. The process involves heating a mixture containing acids and esters in excess diol at elevated temperatures in the presence of a transesterification catalyst and returning any vaporized diol to the reaction vessel until the theoretical amount of alcohol and/or water have been involved.

Title: Apparatus for separating by dielectrophoresis
Inventor: PETHIG RONALD
IPC: C12N1/00
Filed: 1994-03-31
Abstract: The invention relates to a separator, which is particularly useful for separating cellular matter. The separator utilises the phenomenon  known as dielectrophoresis (DEP). A DEP force effects a particle suspended in a medium. The particle experiences a force in an alternating electric field. The force is proportional to, amongst other things, the electrical properties of the supporting medium and the particle and the frequency of the electric field. The separator, of the present invention. comprises a chamber (10) and a plurality of electrodes (12) disposed in the chamber (10). An electric field established across electrodes subjects some of the particles to a stronger force than others such that they are confined within the chamber. Particles which are not confined are removed from the chamber by the supporting medium which is preferably urged through the chamber. Valves (101 and 202) are provided on exhausts of the chamber. The invention is able to separate two different particles continuously.     ,

Title: Open transmission line intrusion detection system using frequency spectrum analysis
Inventor: GAGNON ANDRE
IPC: G08B13/24
Filed: 1995-12-15
Abstract: An intrusion detection system comprises a plurality of sensors and a corresponding plurality of receivers, each receiver coupled to receive via the associated sensor radio frequency signals having a multiplicity of transmissions at different frequencies within a predetermined frequency spectrum. The receiver detects the radio frequency signals and computes for each of a plurality of successive time intervals and for each of the transmission frequencies measurement of signal amplitude over the time interval; compares such signal amplitude measurement with at least one threshold and, if the amplitude exceeds the threshold for a predetermined time period, generates a potential alarm conidtion. A common processor monitors the potential alarm conditions for the plurality of receivers and provides an actual alarm signal when at least one of the receivers indicates potential alarm conditions for a predetermined number of the different transmission frequencies within the same time period. Preferably, the processor compares potential alarm signals from a plurality of sensors and determines that an intrusion has occurred if the potential alarm signal for a particular station does not coincide with a potential alarm signal for a neighbouring sensor. Each receiver may compare potential alarm signals for a plurality of the transmission frequencies and output an intruder alarm signal when potential alarm signals occur simultaneously for more than a preset number of the multiplicity of transmission frequencies.
