Patent EP-1281840-A2 (EP)
Inventor: FUNKE STEVEN J
IPC: F01L13/06
Filed: 2002-05-06
Abstract: A number of engine operating strategies have been developed that
allow for engine braking when combustion is not needed. In these strategies, air
within the engine cylinder is compressed by the cylinder piston; however, rather
than introducing fuel into the cylinder to facilitate a combustion event, the
cylinder is opened to an exhaust manifold and the compressed air is vented, and
the energy is released by the engine. However, it has been learned that the
venting of this compressed air from the engine can produce undesirable noise
emissions. Thus, the present invention employs a dual exhaust valve lift strategy
to reduce noise produced during engine braking while still allowing relatively
high engine braking horsepowers to be achieved.

Abstract: A connection between a source node and a destination node is
automatically routed and switched in a WDM photonic network  1 , on receipt of
a connection request. A switching and routing mechanism selects a plurality
of valid link paths using a path tree, where invalid branches are eliminated
based on constraints received with the connection request, and on a link and
path cost functions. A regenerator placement tree  25  is used for determining
a plurality of viable regenerator paths for each valid link path. On the
regenerator placement tree  25 , non-viable branches are eliminated based on
constraints received with the request and on regenerator availability at the
intermediate nodes along the respective path. Next, the switching and routing
mechanism assigns a set of wavelengths to each viable regenerator path, and
estimates the performance of the path using a Q calculator  39.  The
regenerator paths are ordered according to their performance and the
switching and routing mechanism  30  attempts to setup a path to serve the
request.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing multi-laminar wood sheets
(S10) by slicing from a flitch (14) of natural and/or
laminated wood sheets (10, 12) glued and pre-printed
with a basic pattern. According to the method, a basic
pattern is printed on one or both faces of wood sheets
(10) obtained by rotary cutting or slicing a natural
log or a multi-layered flitch (11); the printed sheets
(10A-10D) are subsequently used to form a final flitch
(14) from which multi-laminar wood sheets are then
sliced having a pattern designed to simulate different
types of natural or fancy woods. The basic pattern is
printed while maintaining process conditions designed
to control the penetration into the thickness of the
wood sheet (10, 12) and surface diffusion of the
colouring agent during printing step. The penetration
and diffusion of the colouring agent is controlled by
maintaining specific temperature and pH conditions, and
by controlling the quantity of colouring agent lay down
on the surface of the wood sheets (10, 12) during the
printing of the pattern.

Abstract: In an iterative method of determining aircraft
flight data parameters using first and second multifunction
probes, an assumed value of a first aircraft
parameter is defined to be equal to an initial value.
Using the assumed value of the first aircraft
parameter together with the respective local angles
of attack determined at first and second multifunction
probes, first and second estimates of a
second aircraft parameter are calculated and
compared. If the first and second estimates of the
second aircraft parameter are within tolerance of
each other, then the first aircraft parameter is
approximately equal to the assumed value, and the
second aircraft parameter is determined from the
first and second estimates. If the first and second
estimates of the second aircraft parameter are not
within tolerance of each other, then an iterative
process is continued to correctly determine the first
and second parameters.

Abstract: A method for improving the calibration of a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance
mass spectrometer wherein the frequency spectrum of a sample has been measured and
the frequency ( f ) and intensity ( I ) of at least three species having known mass to charge
(   m   /   z   ) ratios and one specie having an unknown (   m   /   z   ) ratio have been identified. The
method uses the known (   m   /   z   ) ratios, frequencies, and intensities at least three species to
calculate coefficients A, B, and C, wherein the mass to charge ratio of a least one of the
three species (   m   /   z   ) i  is equal to   A  /  f   i  +   B  /  f   i   2  +   C · G ( I i   ) /  f   i     Q    wherein  f   i  is the detected frequency
of the specie, G( I i   ) is a predetermined function of the intensity of the specie, and Q is a
predetermined exponent. Using the calculated values for A, B, and C, the mass to charge
ratio of the unknown specie (   m   /z) ii  is calculated as the sum of   A  /  f ii    +   B  /  f ii     2  +   C·G ( I ii   ) /  f ii   Q   
wherein  f   ii  is the measured frequency of the unknown specie, and ( I   ii ) is the measured
intensity of the unknown specie.

messaging system can be categorized under at least one category. The message
category can, for example, include categories associated with types (or format) of the
messages, as well as categories that are defined based on virtually any other criteria. In
addition, rules can be defined for the message categories and associated with messages
in the unified messaging system. Furthermore, techniques suitable for performing
various operations on messages in the unified messaging system are disclosed. The
operations can be performed based on the result of evaluation of rules with respect to
messages in the unified messaging system. As will be appreciated, the techniques can
be implemented to exercise better control over the overall management of the unified
