Abstract: A controller controls a displacement of a compressor
which is installed in a refrigerant circuit of an air-conditioning
system. The controller has a pressure difference
detector (40, 54). An air conditioning switch (81) turns the
air conditioning system on. A temperature detector (85)
detects the temperature in a compartment. A control valve (CV)
controls the displacement of the compressor such that the
pressure difference detected by the pressure difference
detector (40, 54) approaches a target value. A computer (70)
determines the target value. The computer (70) changes the
target value, depending on the detected temperature. The
computer (70) limits the target value to a target value limit.
After a predetermined time expires from when the air
conditioning switch (81) is turned on, the computer (70)
changes the limit. This permits the displacement of the
compressor to be promptly and reliably changed.

Abstract: A method and system for controlling the operation of
"lean-burn" internal combustion engines determines a current
rate of vehicle NO x  emissions, and determines a threshold
value for permissible vehicle NO x  emissions based on at least
one current value for the intake air-fuel ratio, engine
speed, engine load (e.g., brake torque, manifold air
pressure, or throttle position), and/or vehicle speed. A
differential NO x  emissions rate is calculated as the
difference between the current rate and the threshold rate,
and the differential rate is accumulated over time to obtain
a differential measure representing the amount by which
cumulative NO x  emissions have fallen below permissible levels
therefor. Lean engine operation is disabled when the
differential NO x  emissions measure exceeds a predetermined
excess vehicle NO x  emission value. In this manner, vehicle
NO x  emissions are favourably controlled even when the engine
is operated "off-cycle," i.e., under operating conditions
falling outside of the FTP driving cycles.

Abstract: An RFID system and method for communicating between a host computer, one
or more interrogators connected to the host computer (100), and a large body of
transponders (150) distributed within an area covered by the interrogators (190). Each
transponder originally has a common identification code, and upon initialization by
the host computer internally generates a unique identification code based upon an
internally generated random number. The host, through the interrogators, reads
each of the identification codes associated with each transponder by iteratively
transmitting a read identification code command along with a controlled variable.
Each transponder compares the received controlled variable to an internally
generated random number, and selectively transmits its identification code based
upon the outcome of this comparison. After the completion of each read
identification code iteration, the host adjusts the controlled variable based upon the
responses received in the previous iteration. Preferably, communications between
the interrogators and the transponders are DSSS signals in TDMA format, and the
transponders use the random number generator to assign a time slot for transmission
of their response. Each interrogator includes an antenna system utilizing a switch
matrix to connect multiple antennas having different polarizations, which ensures
that all transponders within the range of the interrogator receive the signals from the
interrogator. In a further aspect, the interrogators are arranged in groups, each
group in nearest neighbor format, to reduce the time for reading the transponders
and the emissions generated when more than one interrogator is active at the same
time.
