Title: Method for acceleration enrichment in fuel injection systems
IPC: F02D41/06
Filed: 1988-12-09
Granted: 1992-06-17
Abstract: Following detection of an acceleration enrichment condition in a fuel injection system of the type having a hot-wire air quantity sensor, a plurality of initial enrichment injections (RTIBA) replace the normal injections (ti) based on engine load, these initial injections being applied for the next X 180° or 360° crankshaft rotations and being of a length which is independent of engine load (TL) but being dependent upon engine variables (such as engine speed n, hot-wire voltage ULHM and change in hot-wire voltage ΔULHM) which are available at the instant of detection of the acceleration enrichment requirement. Following completion of the X 180° or 360° crankshaft rotations, or if the normally calculated injection period (ti) based on engine load has become greater than the length of the initial injections (RTIBA), then the normally calculated value (ti) is again adopted. The length of the initial injection or injections (RTIBA), dependent upon the engine temperature as well as on the 'load substitute variables' of the speed n, hot-wire voltage ULHM, change in hot wire voltage ΔULHM, are determined from stored look-up tables.

Abstract: A multi-band antenna (10) is adapted to receive signals in the AM/FM bands and to receive and transmit signals in a significantly higher frequency band such as that used for cellular telephone. An AM/FM band antenna is formed of a tubular rod (14,16), and a higher frequency band antenna is formed using a center-fed coaxial dipole (12) mounted on top of and coaxially with the AM/FM antenna. The dipole (44,46) is fed by a coaxial rod (48) attached to a coaxial cable (26) extending through the AM/FM antenna (14,16). A cylindrical choke (50) is disposed about the coaxial rod and is spaced a predetermined distance from the dipole antenna to reduce coupling between the AM/FM antenna (14,16) and the high-frequency antenna (12). The choke (50) functions to position the input impedance of the high-frequency antenna at the base of the choke in a manner so that a short matching transformer may be used at the base of the choke for connection to the coaxial cable. In matching the antenna in this manner at the base of the choke, the best possible VSWR characteristics of the antenna are preserved and the radiation pattern of the antenna's main lobe extends horizontally along a horizontal axis. <IMAGE>

Abstract: According to a prior patent application, the digital user data signal is transmitted in CMI code and, when the code is generated, a binary signal content of the auxiliary signal is allocated to one of the element combinations excluded according to the CMI code rule. Only the start of a one bit or zero bit of the auxiliary signal is marked, so that needle pulses occur at the receiving end at comparatively large intervals only, which pulses are adequate for transmission of the auxiliary signal but severely impede generation of a clock signal at the receiving end. According to the invention, a combination signal is therefore transmitted which contains a clock pulse pattern for simple generation of a clock signal at the receiving end. <IMAGE>
