Title: A Method of Controlling Heat Generation in a Fuel Injector Drier
Inventor: BRYANT BRUCE DAVID
IPC: F02D41/30
Filed: 2007-08-21
Abstract: A method of reducing heat generated in a fuel injector driver controlled by an engine control unit (ECU)of a vehicle engine is disclosed. The method comprising, if the ECU temperature rises above a threshold varying a number of fuel injector injections in an engine 718 cycle as a temperature of the ECU varies. During a first ECU temperature condition the injector performs a first higher number of injections in an engine cycle and during a second temperature condition higher than said first temperature condition the injector performs a second lower number of injections being at least one injection. In a multiple injection sequence the number of pilot, main or post injections may be decreased. In an embodiment the length, size or timing of an injection may be adjusted.

Patent GB-2459113-A (GB)
Title: Document collating apparatus
Inventor: WILLIAMS CHRISTOPHER HUGH
IPC: B65H29/14
Filed: 2008-04-10
Abstract: An apparatus for collating sheets comprises a collating station having a collating position 13 limited at its downstream end by a stop member 14 against which the sheets abut whilst they are being collated. Once a set of collated sheets has been formed a pawl 22a moves the set to an exit position from which output rollers 20 can deliver the set. If a downstream handling device which will receive the set is not yet ready to receive it, the set remains in the exit position whilst the next set is being formed against the stop 14, partially overlapping the first set. The stop 14 acts as a paper weight to restrain the sheets of the subsequent set when the rollers 20 deliver the first set. The pawl 22a is on a belt 24 which also has, equidistantly, a second pawl 22b. When one pawl moves a set to the exit position the other takes its place behind the subsequent set.

Title: Forecasting asphaltic precipitation
Inventor: HUGHES TREVOR
IPC: C09K8/58
Filed: 2008-04-23
Abstract: The magnitude of asphaltic precipitation when injecting a viscosity reducing diluent into a reservoir formation, notably to assist oil recovery therefrom, is forecast by(i) determining a relationship between asphaltic precipitation and a solubility parameter for the diluted oil, and then(ii) utilizing that relationship to forecast the magnitude of asphaltic precipitation when injecting a predetermined viscosity reducing diluent into the formation.Making this forecast may be followed by injecting a viscosity reducing diluent into the formation to assist oil recovery. The diluent may in particular be supercritical carbon dioxide or other asphaltene precipitant mixed with a more polar material in proportions designed by forecasting asphaltic precipitation by candidate materials in possible proportions.

Patent GB-2451188-A (GB)
Title: Photovoltaic cell
Inventor: SHAO GUOSHENG
IPC: H01L31/072
Filed: 2008-07-18
Abstract: An upper layer is an inorganic semiconductor with a relatively wide energy gap (eg TiO2, ZnO, ZnSe, ZnTe) and the lower layer 2 is an inorganic semiconductor with a relatively narrow energy gap (eg anatase TiO2 alloyed with Ga, Mn, Fe, Co, Zn, V, Cr, Cu, Ni, Ag and rare earth elements). The lower layer 2 absorbs irradiance of longer wavelengths to provide the layer 1 with photo-generated charges. In addition, higher energy solar irradiance can be directly absorbed by the upper layer 1 to avoid intra-band transitions. This enhances the performance of the photovoltaic cell with respect to longer wavelengths. Alternative device configurations include a graded bandgap region, nanowire active regions (fig 3) or a micro / nanocrystalline alloy of wide, narrow and intermediate bandgap semiconductor particulates (fig 6). The photovoltaic cell made of such inorganic semiconductor materials is chemically inert so as to provide prolonged service life.

[Also in Division D1] Apparatus for viewing patterns on a con tinuously moving web comprises a first looping device 23 to halt the web periodically relative to a viewing window W, and a sceond looping device 24 for changing the longitudinal position of the web relative to the first looping device 23, thereby enabling all sections of a repeat pattern having a larger format than the viewing window to be inspected. The first looping device is reciprocated once for each cycle of the printing cylinders P via pulley drive 54, gearing 58, 61 and cam 45 acting on a pivoted lever 48. The second looping device is moved vertically on guide rods 26 by a reversible electric motor 67 driving a pinion 65 meshing with a rack 64. Three modes of operation may be selected for the second looping device 24; a first mode to cause successive adjacent parts of the printed pattern to be halted at the viewing window for each cycle of the first looping device; a second mode to cause a part of the printed pattern viewed during one cycle to be replaced by the next adjacent part for the next cycle or for as many subsequent cycles as desired, a third mode to cause continuous operation of the motor 67 so that a part of the printed pattern viewed during one cycle is replaced by a remote part of the printed pattern during subsequent cycles. The control circuitry (Fig. 7) includes a mode selecting switch (68) and push button switches (69, 70 and 71) mounted on the front wall of the apparatus adjacent the viewing window W (Fig. 5), and limit switches (76, 77 and 80, Fig. 4) actuated by pins (85, 86 and 89) carried by the rack 64.
