Patent EP-1213473-A3 (EP)
Inventor: MAURER HERMANN
IPC: F02M35/16
Filed: 2001-09-27
Abstract: An intake system for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle which includes a first unfiltered air intake (10) which is arranged at a location in the vehicle that is favorable for air intake, and a second unfiltered air intake (11) which is arranged at a location in the vehicle that is protected against road spray and splashes of water. The two unfiltered air intakes (10, 11) each open into a common line (12) which communicates with the internal combustion engine. In the first unfiltered air intake (10) there is a moisture sensor (14) which emits a signal when water enters the first unfiltered air intake (10). This signal actuates a drive member 23 which moves a flap 13 between first and second switching positions. In the first switching position, the flap 13 closes the second unfiltered air intake 11, so that no air can get into line 12 from the second unfiltered air intake 11. In the second position, the flap 13 closes the first unfiltered air intake 10, so that air gets into line 12 exclusively through the second unfiltered air intake 11.

Abstract: A new digital configurable macro architecture is described. The digital configurable
macro architecture is well suited for microcontroller or controller designs. In particular, the
foundation of the digital configurable macro architecture is a programmable digital circuit
block. In an embodiment, programmable digital circuit blocks are 8-bit circuit modules that
can be programmed to perform any one of a variety of predetermined digital functions by
changing the contents of a few registers therein, unlike a FPGA which is a generic device that
can be programmed to perform any arbitrary digital function. Specifically, the circuit
components of the programmable digital circuit block are designed for reuse in several of
the predetermined digital functions such that to minimize the size of the programmable
digital circuit block.

Abstract: A load-sensing d.c.-to-d.c. converter has a transformer (2) with a
primary winding (15) connected between a pair of d.c. input terminals (1 a 
and 1 b ) via an on-off switch (3), and a secondary winding (16) connected
between a pair of d.c. output terminals (20 a  and 20 b ) via a rectifying and
smoothing circuit (5). A switch control circuit (7, 7 a , 7 b , 7 c , 7 d  or 7 e )
drives the switch (3) in two different modes depending upon whether the
converter is under normal or light load, for reduction of switching loss
under light load. In order to accurately ascertain the actual power consumption
of the load (20), a flyback period determination circuit (11) is
connected to a tertiary winding (17) of the transformer (2) for providing a
flyback period signal ( V f   ) indicative of a flyback period ( T f   ) during which
a flyback voltage exists across the transformer tertiary after the switch (3)
is turned off each time. Each flyback period is compared with two different
reference periods of time ( T A    and  T B   ) for hysteretic determination of
whether the converter is under normal or light load. Several other embodiments
are disclosed.

Abstract: A control apparatus is provided for a vehicle including an internal combustion engine (1) and a continuously variable transmission (17) capable of controlling an output speed of the engine. A controller of the control apparatus determines a first operating point at which a total fuel consumption amount is minimized as an optimal operating point, such that the total fuel consumption amount is obtained by adding an amount of a fuel consumed by an exhaust purifying device disposed in an exhaust system to an amount of a fuel consumed by the engine for generating a required output. The controller then controls an engine load and also controls a speed ratio of the transmission so that the engine operates at the optimal operating point.

Abstract: A convolutional interleaver performs convolutional
interleaving for a data group in which the input/output data
width is b bits, the depth, i.e., the number of data in bit width
units, is m, the number of channels is n, and the maximum channel
number is C (n = integer satisfying the relation 0≦n≦C, b,m,C =
natural numbers). This interleaver includes a delay unit
comprising first and second delay units and performing a delay of
nT for data of the n-th channel (T = a predetermined amount of
delay, T>0). The first delay unit performs a delay of iS (S = a
predetermined amount of delay, 0<S≦T) for the i-th group amongst
groups into which all the channels are grouped such that each
group comprises at most k channels, and the second delay unit
performs a delay equivalent to a deficiency in the delay of the
first delay unit for the delay of nT to be given to the data of
the n-th channel. Therefore, delays to be commonly generated
between channels in each group are generated together by the
first delay unit, and delays including differences in delays
between the channels are individually generated by the second
delay unit, whereby control and structure of the delay means can
be simplified.
