Patent EP-1416144-A3 (EP)
Inventor: VIELE MATTHEW
IPC: F02D41/14
Filed: 2003-10-30
Abstract: An apparatus and method to detect abnormal combustion conditions for use as a feedback control of a lean burn reciprocating engine using ionization signals is presented. The system receives a succession of ionization signals for successive cycles of a running engine and processes a plurality of related ionization signals for signal stability. The ionization signals are checked to determine if an abnormal combustion condition such as knock or misfire has occurred. The variation of an ionization signal that changes with respect to an engine parameter over a combustion event of the lean bum reciprocating engine operating with an air to fuel ratio corresponding to a lambda (λ) greater than 1.4 is measured and a floating bounded space is associated with the ionization signal. An indication that the abnormal combustion condition has been detected is provided if a portion of the ionization signal is within the floating bounded space.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the measurement of service levels
provided by a communication network, including an Internet protocol
communication network. In accordance with the present invention, test packets are
sent from a first edge router across the communication network to a second edge
router. The time required for the test packets to be transmitted across the
communication network is then determined, and that time compared to the time
specified by the governing service level agreement. A failure of the communication
network to deliver test packets as guaranteed may be used as an indication that the
service level agreement has been violated. Packet loss and packet jitter may also be
measured and compared to levels guaranteed by the service level agreement. The
present invention may be used to determine whether the delivery of data packets
using requests for expedited service levels is necessary or desirable.

Abstract: An electrical connector for transferring a plurality of differential signals between electrical components (14, 16). The connector is made of modules (18) that have a plurality of pairs (104) of signal conductors (102) with a first signal path and a second signal path. Each signal path has a pair of contact sections (116) extending between the contact portions. For each pair of signal conductors, a first distance between the interim sections is less than a second distance between the pair of signal conductors and any other pair of signal conductors of the plurality. Embodiments are shown that increase routability.

Abstract: By means of an activating pin for a valve connector, which activating pin is
designed as a piston (301) with a piston rod (302), moving in the coupling house of the
valve connector where the activating pin has a central drilling (303) and a piston valve
(304) kept closed by a spring force, the aim is to produce a reliable activating pin which
is reliable, cheap, has low aerodynamic drag and thus, is comfortable to use for
pumping purposes and provides the shortest possible pumping time. 
     Pursuant to the invention, this is achieved by the fact that one or more channels
(303,321) are defined by the piston rod (302) and/or the piston valve rod (322) in the
assembled activating pin which channels (303,321) are positioned in a mainly
longitudinal direction in relation to the centerline (337) of the activating pin, of which
the cross section approximately can be defined by at least one closed curve, which can
be defined by two unique modular parametrisation Fourier Series expansions.

Abstract: A contact magnetic transfer method forms a pattern of magnetized servo regions in the magnetic recording layer of a rigid perpendicular magnetic recording disk. A master disk or template has a rigid or flexible base with a first film of soft magnetic material on the base and a pattern of islands of soft magnetic material on and extending above the first film and recesses between the islands. The slave disk to be servo patterned is either DC magnetized in a first direction perpendicular to the plane of the recording layer or AC-erased. The slave disk is then placed with its outer layer in proximity to the islands of the master template and a magnetic field is applied in a perpendicular direction to magnetize the regions beneath the islands in the same direction as the applied field. In the regions of the recording layer beneath the recesses of the template the magnetization is reversed from that in the regions beneath the islands.

Abstract: A mechanism that allow one wireless computing system to communicate with another even though they are out of range of each other transmitter/receiver circuitry, and without requiring dedicated external equipment to facilitate the communication. Instead, intermediary wireless computing system may facilitate the communication. Upon receive a request to communicate with a destination wireless device, each intermediary computing system discovers available wireless communications, and forwards the communication to them. The next intermediary computing system does the same, and so on and so forth, until the destination wireless device receives the wireless communication. The response is returned via the same path in reverse. Accordingly, the source wireless computing system may discover a possible wireless path to the destination wireless device. Possible wireless paths may be added and deleted as those wireless paths are destroyed and created, respectively, due to the mobility of the wireless computing systems.

Abstract: A connector including: a male connector having a generally-box-shaped first housing and a first connection terminal; and a female connector having a generally-box-shaped second housing and a second connection terminal. The second housing has an airway for allowing the second housing inside to communicate with the outside. The first connection terminal has a communicating path for allowing the first housing inside to communicate with the outside. Because the inside of the sealed case and connector can be opened to the atmosphere through the communicating paths, the internal pressure of the sealed case can be brought into a condition close to or agreement with the atmospheric pressure. Even when temperature variations rapidly change the internal pressure of the sealed case, cracking in the sealed case can be avoided because internal pressure changes in the sealed case can be relieved.

Abstract: A source of high-power femtosecond optical pulses comprises a combination of a relatively short rare-earth doped fiber amplifier (14) (e.g., less than five meters) with a first section of single mode fiber (12) (or other dispersive element) disposed at the input of the amplifier to "pre-chirp" the output from a femtosecond pulse source, and a second section of single mode fiber (16) fused to the output of the fiber amplifier to provide compression to the amplified pulses generated by the fiber amplifier. The rare-earth doped fiber amplifier is formed to comprise a normal dispersion, which when combined with self-phase modulation and distributed gain leads to a regime in amplifiers defined as "self-similar propagation". In this regime of operation, the fiber amplifier generates high energy pulses with a parabolic shape (the parabolic shape defined as a function of time). These pulses also exhibit a strong linear chirp, where the linear nature of the chirp leads to efficient compression of the pulses.

Abstract: A method of replacing a gas main that supplies gas to a recipient through an existing service line includes connecting a first tapping tee to the new gas main and connecting a second tapping tee to the existing service line that communicates with a downstream recipient. Branch passages of the first and second tapping tees are fluidically connected together by a connecting conduit. The new gas main is then tapped with the first tee so that gas flows from the new gas main into the connecting conduit up to the second tee. All air is bled from the connecting conduit between the first and second tees, and the existing service line is then tapped with the second tee so that gas is supplied to the recipient through both the existing service line and the connecting conduit. Gas flow to the recipient from the old main is then terminated. The second tee is a specially configured tapping tee specifically adapted for bleeding air from the connecting conduit that interconnects the first and second tees. This tee also utilizes a non-cylindrical bore for holding the conduit to be tapped to inhibit collapsing of the conduit during tapping operations.
