Abstract: A direct fuel-injection engine includes a piston, a cavity recessed in a central part of a top face of the piston, and a fuel injector. At a main injection collision point of a fuel-injection axis when main injection is performed while the piston is near top dead center, a main injection collision angle formed between its tangent and the fuel-injection axis is set at an obtuse angle. Fuel colliding with the main injection collision point is deflected towards a cavity open end side. At a secondary injection collision point of the fuel-injection axis when performing secondary injection with the piston is further from top dead center, a secondary injection collision angle formed between its tangent and the fuel-injection axis is set at one of a right angle and an acute angle. Fuel colliding with the secondary injection collision point is deflected primarily in the circumferential direction of the cavity.

Abstract: A method is provided which improves reliability of channel estimation in a digital communication system by reducing the ambiguity in the recognition of received symbols evaluated for the channel estimation. A data word transmitted according to a first mapping of data word values to modulation states is re-transmitted at least once with a second, re-arranged mapping of data word values to modulation states. The second mapping and possible further mappings are generated from the first mapping in a way that the number of different results which can be obtained from combining the transmitted original data symbol and the re-transmitted counterpart data symbol(s) is lower than the number of original modulation states in the first mapping.

Patent EP-0073190-B1 (EP)
IPC: H05B6/00
Filed: 1981-03-02
Granted: 1990-06-13
Abstract: There are many situations requiring temperature regulation in heating elements which the prior art feedback control systems are not capable of handling adequately. In order to provide a temperature regulation in a narrow range around the Curie temperature, the heating element of the present invention is consisted of a substrate (35) or core (7) (25) of a nonmagnetic material having high thermal and electrical conductivity, clad with a surface layer (9) (27, 37) of a ferromagnetic material of relatively low electrical conductivity. When the heating element is energized by an electrical source (3) of high frequency alternating current, the skin effect initially confines current flow principally to the surface layer of ferromagnetic material. As temperature rises into the region of the Curie temperature of the ferromagnetic material, however, the decline in magnetic permeability of the ferromagnetic material causes a significant lessening of the skin effect, permitting migration of current into the high conductivity non-magnetic core, thereby simultaneously enlarging the cross-sectional area of the current flow path and expanding it into the highly conductive material; the resistance of the heating element becomes less due to both causes. By selecting the proper frequency for energization, by regulating the source to produce constant current, and by selecting dimensions and material parameters for the heating element, temperature regulation in a narrow range around the Curie temperature of the ferromagnetic material can be produced, despite considerable fluctuations in thermal load.
