Patent EP-1434072-A1 (EP)
Inventor: NAKAMURA NAOKO
IPC: G02B6/36
Filed: 2003-12-04
Abstract: A large-diameter core optical fiber (1) and a small-diameter
core high Δ optical fiber (2) are fusion-spliced, and the vicinity
of a spliced portion (3) is heated to expand a core diameter of
a core of the high Δ optical fiber and form a spot size transition
portion (4), whereby spot sizes of the optical fiber and the high
Δ optical fiber are matched and relative refractive index
differences thereof are made substantially identical.
Subsequently, an arbitrary position of the optical fiber is
cut such that the spliced portion and the spot size transition
portion are placed inside a ferule (5), and the optical fiber is
arranged on a light incident and outgoing end face (6) side of the
ferrule to form an optical fiber component. It is advisable
to expand the core diameter of the core while monitoring a
transition loss of the spliced portion. In this way, an optical
fiber component having an optimal spot size transition portion
can be manufactured without requiring an advanced technique,
and an optical fiber component, which does not cause increase
in a transition loss even in the case in which a high Δ optical
fiber is spliced with an ordinary optical fiber used in a
communication network, can be provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the quantity of recirculated exhaust gas for an internal combustion engine recirculating exhaust gas. According to the inventive method, first a reference quantity of gas mixture that is fed to the combustion chamber/s of the engine and a reference pressure and/or a reference temperature of the gas mixture are determined for at least one preselectable reference condition of the internal combustion engine when exhaust gas recirculation is deactivated. The pressure and/or temperature of the fed gas mixture is/are then determined for the current engine condition when exhaust gas recirculation is activated and the engine runs. The current fed quantity of gas mixture is then determined based on the reference quantity corrected at least by the ratio between the current pressure and the reference pressure of the gas mixture and/or the ratio between the reference temperature and the current temperature of the gas mixture. Additionally, a proportion of unburned gas contained in the fed gas mixture is determined for the current engine condition, whereupon the current quantity of recirculated exhaust gas is determined based on the difference between the determined current quantity of gas mixture and the determined proportion of unburned gas. The inventive method applies to diesel engines of motor vehicles, for example.
