Abstract: The diesel engine has electronic modules (10) and a control system (1) with an inter modular communication bus arranged between them for transferring information. The bus system has a connection point (150) for replacement modules (100) to be attached. The control system automatically conditions the modules with a specific operating program and actualization of operating parameters such that replacement module apart from the actively running control system is in a no-load operation. During failure of an active module the replacement module is immediately operationally substituted for the malfunctioning module. Each connection point of the module at the inter modular bus system can be substituted, before-conditioned replacement module has begun. Cylinders of the engine are controlled such as the functions and environmental settings and each cylinder is assigned to a module of the control system, and each control module covers an identically trained logic circuit of two functional parts. The first functional part is the controlling of an assigned cylinder such as environmental functions, and the second controls redundancy such that part of the engine performance remains in case of an error due to the redundancy. An INDPENDENT CLAIM is included for a method.

Abstract: A power amplifier for mobile phones has an RF amplifier (15) controlled based on an integral over time of a signal representing an amount of power reflected from a load on an output of the amplifier. Using an integral, the control can be more effective where there are changeable load impedances. It can restrict large voltage swings on the amplifier output. As the integral can be determined using analogue signal processing components (50, 90, 100) it can be integrated more easily with RF and other components. The integral can be determined of a difference relative to a reference. The reflection signal can be centred on zero before integrating to reduce sensitivity to offset. The reference can be selectable to suit the conditions.

Title: Transfer rate measurements
Inventor: GOERANSSON BO
IPC: H04J99/00
Filed: 2005-02-07
Granted: 2009-02-25
Abstract: An apparatus in a radio terminal (MS) determines a measure representing transfer rate from a radio cell to the terminal. The apparatus includes units (SINR-1, . . . , SINR-4) for determining several signal quality measures of pilot signals received from and associated with several antennas in the radio cell. A summation unit (SUM) combines several such signal quality measures into a combined transfer rate measure associated with the radio cell. Such combined measures are determined for several radio cells surrounding the terminal. Further means (MEN, SEL, TH) select radio cells associated with combined transfer rate measures that support a predetermined transfer rate as candidates for communication with the terminal. The selected measures are reported to the radio network controller and used for cell selection or handover.
