Patent EP-1081375-A3 (EP)
Inventor: YAMADA TATSUNORI
IPC: F02P17/12
Filed: 2000-08-31
Abstract: A method of detecting spark plug fouling in an internal
combustion engine is provided. The method comprises calculating
an integration value of discharge current (i2) flowing between
electrodes (17a-17b) of a spark plug (17) during a period of a
spark discharge and judging if the calculated discharge current
integration value is smaller than an integration value criterion.
The integration value criterion is set at such a value that can
discriminate between normal discharge and interior jumping (i.e.,
jumping due to fouling). When the calculated discharge current
integration value is smaller than the integration value
criterion, it is judged that the spark plug has been fouled. By
this, it becomes possible to detect spark plug fouling before the
center electrodes (17a-17b) of the spark plug (17) are short-circuited
and disabled to generate spark discharge, i.e., before
the spark plug (17) is fouled to such an extend as to cause a
misfire. An ignition system (1) for detecting spark plug fouling
is also provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for establishing a
telephone connection between a calling party and a called party over a
telephone line, comprising the steps of the transmission by the calling
party of a signal regarding the identity of the called party to a local
telephone switching centre, the forwarding of said identity signal to
the remote telephone switching centre of the called party by the local
telephone switching centre, whether or not via several intermediate
telephone switching centres, and the simultaneous setup of a duplex
speech connection over the telephone line, the receipt of a confirmation
signal transmitted by the remote telephone switching centre and the
forwarding of said confirmation signal to the calling party by the local
telephone switching centre, in which signal the identity of the called
party is confirmed, the activation of the ringer in the called party's
telephone, the receipt by the local telephone switching centre of a
connection signal from the called party the moment the called party
answers the telephone, as a result of which a telephone speech connection
is established over the telephone line that has been set up. 
     In accordance with the invention, the method is to that end
characterized in that after the telephone connection has been terminated
by the calling party or the called party, a message, for example a
commercial message, is generated in the "point-of-interconnect" switching
centre that is operative at some point between the local telephone
switching centre and the remote telephone switching centre in the
established telephone connection, which message is transmitted to the
party who is still connected to the open telephone connection.
