Patent CA-2539101-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GRAY CHARLES L JR
IPC: G01M99/00
Filed: 2004-09-15
Abstract: A method is provided for close control and adjustment of in-cylinder oxygen concentration levels together with boost adjustments to minimize harmful emissions during transients in engines which utilize late direct cylinder injection of fuel. EGR flow rates are adjusted in a closed loop, linked fashion together with boost pressure changes during transients, to maintain intake charge-air oxygen concentration and boost levels within critical rang es for controlled temperature, low emission combustion. Changes in fuel feed in to the cylinder are made to wait for or follow changes in the boost level of charge~-air into the cylinder for combustion. Temporary fuel levels are not allowed to exceed desired fuel/oxygen ratios during transients, by controlli ng fuel feed responsive to the level of boost of charge-air being taken into th e cylinder for combustion.

Patent CA-2576051-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DIFOGGIO ROCCO
IPC: E21B43/24
Filed: 2005-08-10
Abstract: A formation fluid sample is exposed to a rigidly-supported semi-permeable membrane such as silicone rubber to permit diffusion of gases and vapors from the formation fluid into a vacuum chamber, while at the same time, blocking the passage of any liquids. The membrane-transmitted gas is analyzed in the vacuum chamber by a resonator that reacts with it. The resulting change in resonant frequency of the resonator indicates the presence of a gas that reacts with it. An ion pump or sorbent is associated with the evacuated chamber to maintain the vacuum. The ion pump or sorbent removes gases and vapors from the low-pressure chamber, which have diffused into it from the reservoir sample that is on the opposite (high-pressure) side of the semi-permeable membrane.
