Abstract: A method and device for estimating temperature of gases arising from internal combustion of an engine at the entrance to a system for post-treatment of the gases. The post-treatment system is downstream from a system for treatment of the gases, which may include a nitrogen oxide NOx trap, an oxidation catalyst, or a 4-way catalyst. The systems connect to each other by a line, wherein the treatment system is considered as the whole of a whole finite number n of fictive elementary reactors Ri that are perfectly agitated and serially connected, wherein the total number n of fictive elementary reactors Ri is determined, in particular as a function of volume of the treatment system, and the fictive elementary reactors Ri are numbered from 1 to n in the gas flow direction along the treatment system. Fictive elementary reactor Rn is the last to be cross-flown by the gases before leaving the treatment system, and the temperature at the post-treatment system entrance downstream from the system for the treatment of the gases is calculated from the temperature inside the last fictive elementary reactor Rn.

Abstract: A method for a piezoelectric actuator and an ink-jet head uses, for forming a lower electrode 3 on a vibration plate 2, metal-nano particles which can start to sinter with a low temperature as a conductive material; and uses, for forming a piezoelectric layer 4, an aerosol deposition method requiring no calcination step. Accordingly, upon forming the lower electrode and piezoelectric layer, any calcination under severe condition is not needed. In addition, the calcination of the lower electrode 3 can be advanced simultaneously with an annealing step required after forming the piezoelectric layer 4. Accordingly, the thermal cycle during producing process can be minimized, thereby suppressing the exfoliation of layers and diffusion of material forming vibration plate into the piezoelectric layer due to thermal history, and consequently lower the degradation of piezoelectric characteristics.

Abstract: The use of a configuration-based execution model in conjunction with a content addressable memory (CAM) architecture provides a mechanism that enables performance of a number of computing concepts, including conditional execution, (e.g., If-Then statements and while loops), function calls and recursion. If-then and while loops are implemented by using a CAM feature that emits only complete operand sets from the CAM for processing; different seed operands are generated for different conditional evaluation results, and that seed operand is matched with computed data to for an if-then branch or upon exiting a while loop. As a result, downstream operators retrieve only completed operands. Function calls and recursion are handled by using a return tag as an operand along with function parameter data into the input tag space of a function. A recursive function is split into two halves, a pre-recursive half and a post-recursive half that executes after pre-recursive calls.
