Title: Controlling multiple fuel injections in a common rail fuel injection system
Inventor: WEST JAMES A
IPC: F02D41/40
Filed: 2003-08-07
Abstract: A system for controlling multiple fuel injections in a common rail fuel injection system includes a controller 20 which communicates with a number of fuel injectors 26. The controller 20 determines a total quantity of fuel for injection, based on torque and engine speed, a quantity of fuel for a pilot injection, based on engine load and engine speed, and a quantity of fuel for a main injection based on the total quantity and the pilot quantity. The controller 20 also determines injection timing of the main injection and the pilot injection based on the position of an engine crankshaft. The controller 20 may inhibit the pilot injection if the gap between the pilot injection and the main injection is less than a predetermined time period, and it may also determine quantities of fuel, and timings, for post injections.

Patent GB-2408733-A (GB)
Title: Tamper evident bottle stopper
Inventor: GILL MARK STEPHEN
IPC: B65D39/16
Filed: 2003-11-21
Abstract: The tamper evident device is installed into the neck of a bottle prior to capping. Once the cap is removed the device is taken out of the bottle by pulling the self exposing removing tab. Once pulled the tab locks into an upright position therefore showing that an attempt has been made to remove it further pulling removes the device completely. Part 1 moves freely within part 2 until angled flanges on the tab and stopper contact with each other (see detail A); this contact is maintained by a spring. When a cap is fitted to the bottle (see fig 2), the spring is compressed. To remove the stopper the tab is pulled to overcome the resistence between mating surfaces on the angled flanges, which locks the tab in an extended position (see detail C).

Title: Increasing the throughput potential of a rotating cement kiln
Inventor: WHITELEY DESMOND
IPC: F27B7/38
Filed: 2005-03-01
Abstract: A lifting device is installed at the lower end of the cooling zone of a rotating cement kiln to lift clinker out from the newly formed clinker bed. Said clinker consisting of nodules and dust containing a stated amount of heat is presented in particular form to the secondary air to the burner flowing up from the cooler and into the kiln. Intercepted stated heat adds to heat intercepted from clinker passing down through the cooler and taken to the burner with the secondary air increases temperature of the burner flame entering the burning zone with the gases of combustion to enhance entropy. Lighter fraction of clinker dust carried up into the burning zone with the gas flow receives heat to become superheated and shares acquired heat with the material bed passing down through the burning zone on landing thereby reducing calcining heat requirement in the burning zone. It is thought that enhancement of entropy and reduced calcining heat requirement in the burning zone will produce substantial increase in throughput from any existing rotating cement kiln.

Title: Providing control using a wide angle image capture means
Inventor: HUGHES COLIN JONATHAN
IPC: G06F3/0481
Filed: 2006-07-25
Abstract: Interaction with a data processor such as a games machine comprises the steps of capturing a wide angle image of an environment, obtaining image features from the wide angle image, and then interpreting these image features as inputs to software running on the games machine. The step of obtaining image features from the wide angle image may further comprise the step of mapping one or more regions of the wide-angle image to corresponding one or more flat image planes, and obtaining image features from one or more of said planes of the mapped wide-angle image. Advantageously, the planes can be arranged to reflect the topology of a room or the positioning of players, and allow a consistent representation of image features and consequently of input motion to a process such as a game, without position dependent distortions of the features inherent in the wide angle image.
