Abstract: Exhaust temperature (Tvtr, Tnvk) is determined downstream of the nitrogen oxides (NOx) storage catalyst. From a temperature model, the monolith temperature, Tmon1 at the inlet of the NOx storage catalyst (17), is calculated. From this value and the model, monolith temperature Tmon2 is calculated at the outlet of the NOx storage catalyst. It is determined whether both temperatures lie in a given range (Tmin, Tmax) (the condition). In accordance with the determination, engine (10) operation is controlled, to ensure that the condition is fulfilled and maintained during continued operation.

Abstract: An insulator substrate (110) is provided with a display pixel
region (200) comprising an electroluminescence element (160)
having a cathode (167), emissive layer (166), and anode (161), and
with first and second TFTs for driving the element. Surrounding
the display pixel region (200), a peripheral drive circuit region
(251) having a third TFT for driving each pixel is further provided
on the insulator substrate (110). The cathode (167) is disposed
in a region other than the peripheral drive circuit region (251).
With this arrangement, generation of a back channel by applying
the EL element potential to the cathode is prevented in a
complementary TFT employed in the peripheral drive circuit region
for controlling the display region, thereby suppressing changes
in threshold values due to such back channel generation. As a
result, an EL display device with reduced generation of penetration
current and minimized increased current consumption is achieved.

IPC: H04J11/00
Filed: 2000-05-22
Abstract: An intermediate frequency signal S IF  is demodulated and
the noise component contained in a null portion (no-signal
portion) is detected as the noise component contained in
a signal of the sub-carrier frequencies. The frequency f 0 
of a reference frequency signal LO of a local oscillator
24 is feedback-controlled in accordance with the noise
component thus detected. Further, the frequency f 0  of the
reference frequency signal LO is feedback-controlled in
accordance with an error rate detected by an error
correction section 23. Thus, the sub-carriers within the
intermediate frequency signal S IF  subjected to the frequency
conversion by a mixer 16 based on the reference frequency
signal LO thus feedback-controlled is separated from the
noise component on the frequency axis. The intermediate
frequency signal S IF  is subjected to the Fourier
transformation by a digital mixer / FFT calculation section
21, so that the noise component can be suppressed.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for detecting misfire or partial burn and for
controlling spark retard in the cylinders of an internal combustion engine
operated under the control of a microprocessor and utilizing signals
indicative of the pressure in said cylinder at crank angle positions before and
after initiation of combustion. A ratio of the actual pressure to the motored
pressure in the cylinder at one or more predetermined crank angles is used
to estimate the fraction of fuel burned which, in turn, enables a
determination of combustion failure in said cylinder cycle. Confirmation of
said misfire or unacceptable partial burn leads to correction of engine
operation by said controller and/or to a diagnosis of possible damage to the
vehicle's catalytic converter. This method also permits better engine
operation under conditions of high spark retard.

The method involves an encoding element (14) attached to the steering shaft with a code track moving past at least two stationary sensors (22,24,26) for sensing the code on the track. The sensors are spaced in the direction of movement of the encoding element and adopt different signal states (36,38,40) corresponding to the code. The rotation direction is determined from the initial signal states and the change in state of at least one sensor signal. The number of signal state changes with sign corresponding to the direction of travel is summed to determine the shaft revolutions. Independent claims are also included for (1) a computer program for implementing the method (2) a device for determining a steering angle.
