Abstract: A synchronous mirror delay includes a ring oscillator that generates a plurality of tap clock signals with one tap clock signal being designated an oscillator clock signal. In response to an input clock signal, a model delay line generates a model delayed clock signal, having a model delay relative to the input clock signal. A coarse delay circuit generates a coarse delay count responsive to the oscillator, input, and model delayed clock signals, and activates a coarse delay enable signal responsive to the delay count being equal to a reference count value. A fine delay circuit latches the tap clock signals and develops a fine delay from the latched signals, and activates a fine delay enable signal having the fine delay in response to the coarse delay enable signal. An output circuit generates a delayed clock signal responsive to the coarse and fine delay enable signals going active.

IPC: G02B6/28
Filed: 2004-05-27
Abstract: The present invention provides a system and a method that employ a
continuously variable optical delay line to introduce a delay into a
transmitted optical signal. The delay line comprises a holey fiber (510)
with a hollow core configured in a spiral layout, wherein one end of the
fiber is operative to a reflective fluid reservoir (520) and the other
end operative to an input port (540). A segmented piezoelectric actuator
is employed to position a reflective fluid within the fiber, utilizing a
commutated technique that continuously moves the fluid. A signal
received at the input port is routed through the holey fiber at an angle
of incidence to achieve total internal reflection. The signal traverses
towards the reflective fluid, and reflects back towards the input port
after coming into contact with the fluid's surface. The delay introduced
into the signal is a function of the distance traveled through the delay
line.

event of a signal which varies from the set point by at
least a predetermined threshold in a predetermined
direction, a number of actions are taken. The set point is
re-established in dependence upon the signal generated in

Abstract: The process establishes an estimate of the dilution rate (Pdil) of fuel in oil and authorizes the regeneration when the estimate of the dilution rate is less than a preset dilution threshold. The process handles data and controls the engine to achieve regeneration of the particle filter when necessary. The variation in dilution rate (dPdil) is evaluated by a first function (-Fevap) representing the evaporation of the fuel while no regeneration of the filter is in progress, and by a second function while the filter is being regenerated. The second function is the sum of the first function and a third function (Grege). The variation in the dilution rate is evaluated as a function of the speed of rotation of the engine (N) and a variable representing the load on the engine (Qc), such as the flow of injected fuel. The functions are recorded in the form of graphs.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process of separating a purified propylene oxide from a crude epoxidation product which is preferably produced in an epoxidation reaction of propylene with hydrogen peroxide. The process involves removing bulk water, bulk methanol, and unreacted propylene from the crude epoxidation product and thereafter subjecting the resulting propylene oxide product to extractive distillation with water as an extraction solvent. Under distillation conditions, including a bottoms temperature of greater than about 55°C and less than about 75°C, an overhead or side-cut distillate stream containing a purified propylene oxide is obtained with low yield loss of propylene oxide to propylene glycol heavies. The purified propylene oxide can be further purified in a finishing distillation to obtain propylene oxide meeting commercial grade purity requirments.

Abstract: A system for scheduling utilization of a service resource by a plurality of flows of information packets, wherein the flows include rate-guaranteed synchronous flows and best-effort asynchronous flows, the asynchronous flows exploiting the service capacity of the resource left unexploited by the synchronous flows. A server visits the flows, in subsequent rounds, by visiting first the synchronous flows followed by the asynchronous flows. The server is configured for detecting any backlogged synchronous flow, and when the server visits any said backlogged synchronous flow, it allows the backlogged synchronous flow to utilize the resource for a given time, whereby the synchronous flows have a guaranteed transmission window on each round. When the server visits any asynchronous flow, the time elapsed since the last visit by the server to the same asynchronous flow is determined. If the visit to the asynchronous flow occurs later than expected based on a reference round time, the asynchronous flow being visited is restrained from utilizing the resource for the ongoing round, and if the visit occurs earlier than expected based on the reference round time the asynchronous flow being visited is allowed to utilize the resource for a respective given time.
