Abstract: An H-bridge circuit (100) uses NMOS transistors for both the upper (125,165) and lower (145,185) sets of
transistors. An inductive head (190) is coupled between the terminals (135,175) of the transistors. When
a logic signal is received, it is boosted with a circuit (110,150) including a capacitor (112,152) and is used to
drive one of the upper transistors (125,165). The upper transistor (125) selected to be driven is responsive
to the logic signal (X). A corresponding lower transistor (185) is also driven, forcing current
through the inductive head in a first direction. When the logic signal is received that is
the complement ( X ) of the first logic signal, the other upper (165) and lower (145) transistors turn on,
thereby driving current through the inductive head in the other direction. Transistors in
the H-bridge circuit are NMOS transistors and boosted driving circuits quickly change
the direction of the flux through the inductive head.

Abstract: A fuel vapour purging method controls fuel vapour
purging during stratified operation. Several factors
influence vapour purge control, including fuel vapour
concentration in the cylinder and temperature of the
emission control device. The fuel vapour passes through the
cylinder unburned by maintaining the concentration within
allowable limits. The unburned fuel vapour reacts
exothermically in the emission control device (70,72)
thereby generating heat. To guarantee that the fuel vapour
reacts in the first emission control device (70), the fuel
vapour purge is restricted to a certain temperature range.
To guarantee that the fuel vapour does not burn in the
cylinder, the concentration is kept to a restricted value.

Abstract: A system for sensing subterranean acoustic waves emitted from an acoustic
source includes a plurality of laser sources (LS1-LS6), a plurality of subterranean
optical sensors (1000), at least one optical detector (D1-D16), and electronics
(601). The laser sources each emit light at a different frequency. The subterranean
optical sensors are hydrophones (1000) that receive the light and alter the light in
response to the acoustic waves. The optical detector (D1-D16) receives the altered
light and outputs an electrical signal. The electronics (601) receives the electrical
signal and converts it into seismic data format. The hydrophones (1000) are able to
operate at pressures of at least 5,000 psi and temperatures of at least 130 degrees
Celsius. The hydrophone (1000) may be housed in a cable (1002) having a
diameter of less than about 1.5 inches. The hydrophone's sensor preferably
includes a reference mandrel (1110), two sensing mandrels (1120), and a telemetry
can (1104), all of which are aligned in a coaxial, end-to-end configuration to
reduce the profile of the hydrophone (1000). Flexible interlinks (1296) having
grooves therein for receiving optical fiber join the mandrels (1110, 1120) together.
The reference mandrel (1110) and sensing mandrels (1120) advantageously have
hemispherically-shaped endcaps (1264), permitting them to operate at high
