Patent CA-2581533-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KAWASUMI IKUE
IPC: F02D43/04
Filed: 2007-03-13
Abstract: A control apparatus and method, and an engine control unit for an internal combustion engine are provided for restraining a torque step and sudden fluctuations in rotation when an air/fuel mixture combustion mode is switched among a plurality of combustion modes, and for improving the fuel economy. A control apparatus of an internal combustion engine operated with a combustion mode switched between a stratified combustion mode and a uniform combustion mode comprises an ECU. The ECU calculates an ignition manipulated variable to cancel out a change in the engine rotational speed associated with the switching of the combustion mode when a first-time injection ratio changes during idle rotational speed control, and calculates an intake manipulated variable to cancel a change in the engine rotational speed caused by the ignition manipulated variable when the first-time injection ratio changes.

Title: Feature reduction method for decision machines
Inventor: GATES KEVIN E
IPC: G06N20/10
Filed: 2005-12-14
Abstract: A method for feature reduction in a training set for a learning machine such as a Support Vector Machine (SVM). In one embodiment the method includes a step (35) of receiving input training data vectors xi of a training set. The input training data vectors are typically derived from a set of features in a feature space. At step (37) the input data vectors are mapped into a multi-dimensional space. At step (39) a least squares problem, derived from a formulation of the SVM, is solved to determine which features comprising the training vectors are to be deemed significant. At step (41) decision parameters and vectors of the chosen decision machine, e.g. SVM, are determined using the features determined to be significant in step (39).

Abstract: A method for tax attenuation in accordance with the present invention matches an income stream from an investment to a cost of debt used to pay tax and to hold the cost of the borrowed funds in abeyance. An amount is invested to gain returns. An amount is borrowed at a cost to pay the tax liability. An investment portfolio is established in order to create a positive spread between the returns on the invested amount and the cost of the borrowed amount such that the periodic returns on the invested amount is sufficient to pay at least the periodic interest payments due on the borrowed amount. In addition, the investment portfolio is established with investments sufficient to cover the margin of the borrowed amount. In addition, the returns of the investment are used to pay interest on the borrowed amount. Finally, the total investment returns of the investment are used to pay off, in full, the amounts borrowed.
