Abstract: Removal of fine particles by oxidation or/and sulfur poisoning recovery control may be required when an internal combustion engine has been in an extremely low load state for a predetermined period or more. In this case, the engine speed of the internal combustion engine (I) is adjusted to a range where the temperature of a filter (20) can be raised by heat-up control. The heat-up control is then executed by. a filter temperature control means to raise the temperature of the filter (20) to a predetermined value. When the filter (20) reaches the predetermined temperature by means of low-temperature combustion, post-injection, VIGOM-injection, addition of 10 fuel to an exhaust system and the like, removal of fine particles by oxidation or/and sulfur poisoning recovery control for eliminating sulfur poisoning of a NOx absorbent are conducted. Removal of PMs captured by the filter and sulfur poisoning recovery control of the NOx absorbent can thus be conducted even if the internal combustion engine is left in an extremely low load operational state.

Patent CA-2476464-A1 (CA)
Title: Methods and apparatus for sensing angular position of a rotatable shaft
Inventor: FREDERICK GARY L
IPC: G01V3/00
Filed: 2003-02-14
Abstract: A contactless rotary shaft (2) position sensor provides for precision computation of shaft angle for a wide range of input shaft rotational angles . The sensor includes two annular two-pole magnets (3, 5) which are connected by a precision, motion-transmitting gear train (17, 18, 19, 20). An optional second gear train between one of the magnets and the input shaft can provide additional angular rotation scaling to accurately measure either fractional or a large number of multiple turns of the input shaft. The gear ratios are selected such that one of the magnets (3, 5) does not rotate more than one revolution. Pairs of ratiometric Hall-effect or magnetoresistive sensors (6) provide differential voltage signals which are used for sensing angular position of each magnet (3, 5) over a full 360 degrees of rotation. The sing le- turn magnet provides an absolute, coarse indication of input shaft rotation with a typical accuracy of 2%. The gear ratio between the magnets produces several turns of the second magnet for each turn of the single-turn magnet. Since the gear ratio between the magnets is fixed, the angle sensed for the multi-turn magnet can be predicted from the position of the single-turn magnet. This is compared to the multi-turn magnet's actual sensed rotation. The result is an improvement in accuracy directly proportional to the gear ratio between the magnets. Computation of the individual magnet rotation angles and the input shaft angle is performed using a microprocessor and appropriate signal conditioning circuits. Utilizing two magnets, input shaft rotation can be accurately measured to within 0.1 % of maximum range.</SDOAB >
