Abstract: A control system for a dual fuel engine that can operate in either dual fuel mode or in diesel only mode includes two controllers. One controller controls operation of the gaseous fuel supply system, and the other controls the liquid fuel supply system. Each controller receives signals from sensors monitoring particular engine operation characteristics and is able to transmit the data it collects to the other controller by way of a broadband communications link such as a controller area network (CAN). When the engine is operating in dual fuel mode, one controller directly controls the gaseous fuel supply and also controls the liquid fuel supply by its control of the other controller. When the engine is operating in diesel only mode, the other controller controls all aspects of engine operation. A method of controlling operation of a dual fuel engine is also disclosed.

Abstract: An arrangement and method provide an optical thulium doped fiber amplifier utilizing a dual wavelength pumping scheme for amplifying an optical signal. The method includes the steps of: a first deposition (a) of energy into the fiber amplifier by pumping with radiation of a first wavelength; and a second deposition (b) of energy into the fiber amplifier by pumping with radiation of a second wavelength. The radiation of the first wavelength is arranged to induce, by single photon absorption, a population to the <SUP>3</SUP>H<SUB>4 </SUB>level of the thulium dopant, and the radiation of the second wavelength primarily depopulates the <SUP>3</SUP>F<SUB>4 </SUB>level, by excited absorption of a single photon, preferably by strong excited state absorption to the <SUP>3</SUP>F<SUB>2 </SUB>level. The steps gives a population inversion between the <SUP>3</SUP>H<SUB>4 </SUB>and the <SUP>3</SUP>F<SUB>4 </SUB>levels and facilitate a power efficient high gain amplification.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to dispensing of fluid droplets (1100) and in particular to methods and systems (108) of dispersing, suspending or arranging microfluidic or sub-microfluidic volumes of droplets (1100) of chemical, biological or other reagents or liquids below the surface (1105) of a cover or host fluid (1102) using non-contact dispensing for creating an assay or reaction that produces a detectable signal or a by-product such as a harvestable protein crystal. Advantageously, the preferred embodiments substantially prevent evaporation of valuable reagents. Another advantage, in the case of miscible reagents, is that the drop velocities provide good mixing. Yet another advantage is that, in the non-contact approach, the dispensing nozzle or tip (259, 274, 1014) is not immersed into the host fluid (1102), thereby facilitating cleaning.
