Patent EP-0911052-A2 (EP)
Inventor: KEITEL TODD A
IPC: A61M16/18
Filed: 1998-10-15
Abstract: A method and system for rapid control of set inspired
gas concentration is disclosed for operating a medical
anesthesia delivery system (10) and for controlling the flow and
concentration of gases and anesthesia vapor delivered to a
patient. Control of the inspired gas and agent concentration
is accomplished by operating in different control priority
modes. In a flow priority control mode, the user may set,
either directly or indirectly, the total fresh gas flow
rate. The total fresh gas flow rate can then be slowly
varied by the control algorithm, while the vaporizer
concentration is actively controlled to achieve the user set
inspired gas concentration. The invention includes a
process for switching from the flow priority control mode
into a concentration priority mode for low flow rates. By
throttling the flow, the patient will receive nearly an
instantaneous change in the amount of agent and fresh gas
without having the transport delay associated with a change
in the agent concentration. Sensors (42) are used to monitor
agent concentration and minute volume, and a processor (20) is
programmed to estimate the concentration of the agent in the
pipeline to select the control priority mode, and control
the agent vaporizer and the fresh gas flow controller to
selectively switch between control priority modes and
operate extremely efficiently while in the concentration
priority mode by changing the flow rate instead of the agent
concentration.

Abstract: An internal combustion engine (1) is provided with
fuel injection valves (10a, 10b, 10c, 10d) which directly
inject fuel into the respective cylinders of the engine.
An electronic control unit (ECU) (30) controls the fuel
injection valves to execute a main fuel injection and a
subsidiary fuel injection prior to the main fuel
injection. The ECU sets the timing for executing the
subsidiary fuel injection in such a manner that the delay
of the fuel injected by the subsidiary fuel injection
before it ignites becomes the same as the delay of the
fuel injected by the subsidiary fuel injection under a
predetermined standard operating condition of the engine.
Further, the ECU sets the amount of subsidiary fuel
injection so that it becomes the maximum limit which
allows all the fuel injected by the subsidiary fuel
injection to completely burn before the main fuel
injection starts. Thus, since the amount of fuel
injected by the subsidiary fuel injection is increased
and the state of combustion of the fuel injected by the
main fuel injection is improved. Further, all the fuel
injected by the subsidiary fuel injection burns before
the main fuel injection starts and a worsening of the
exhaust gas emission and the generation of the exhaust
smoke do not occur.
