Patent GB-2337136-A (GB)
Title: Regulating an engine using a transmitter wheel with a reference mark
Inventor: FISCHER WERNER
IPC: G01P3/489
Filed: 1999-04-30
Abstract: A system for regulating a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine has a transmitter wheel 10, fastened to a shaft of the engine, with regular angle markings 12 and a reference mark 13. The shaft can be a crankshaft, camshaft or the drive shaft of a pump. By using signals from a sensor 14 to recognise the reference mark 13, an engine control device 15 can perform a synchronisation and regulate the engine. The initial recognition of the reference mark 13 is by evaluation of the time periods between successive markings. After the reference mark is initially recognised, the control device counts angle markings in order to determine the next occurrence of a reference mark. The determined next reference mark is then checked by once again evaluating the time periods between markings. If this checking step does not confirm that a reference mark has correctly been detected, an error count is incremented, but the unconfirmed reference mark is still used for engine regulation. A defect is recognised only when the error count reaches a predetermined value, at which point the determination of the reference mark position is re-started from the initial step. A further count of how many times reference mark detection is re-started can be made, and if this reaches a certain value, an emergency engine regulating signal can be used.

Title: Assessing the efficacy of battery cells in an uninterupptable power supply
Inventor: CLEGG ANDREW SIMON
IPC: G01R31/36
Filed: 1999-08-03
Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring the electrical efficacy of one or more battery cells for use in an uninterruptable power supply are disclosed. The efficacy is determined by measuring the a.c. component of the current flowing through and/or voltage across the cell(s), whereby the a.c. components are derived from a ripple current in the battery cell or cells. Simultaneous measurement of the ripple current and a corresponding ripple voltage component enable the internal impedance of a battery cell to be determined, the impedance acting as an indicator of electrical efficacy.

Title: A power supply for an electronic device having a standby mode
Inventor: OCHIAI MASASHI
IPC: H02M3/28
Filed: 1999-09-14
Abstract: A power supply arrangement for an electric device 100 such as a television which uses standby operation to reduce power consumption. A remote control 12 for controlling the powering up of the device consists of an EM wave generator 13, an infrared generator 113 and a means for receiving an infrared signal 15. The electric device 100 consists of a means for receiving the EM wave 21 and using this signal to switch 23 on and maintain the standby power supply 22 and a means for receiving the infrared signal 10 from the remote control 12 and using this to power up a main power supply circuit 2 of the electric device 100.
