Title: A combustion state detecting apparatus for an engine
Inventor: AKAZAKI SHUSUKE
IPC: G01L23/22
Filed: 2005-11-01
Granted: 2011-12-20
Abstract: A combustion state detecting apparatus is provided for an engine having internal pressure sensor for detecting an internal pressure of a combustion chamber of the engine and crank angle detector for detecting a crank angle of the engine. The apparatus calculates a volume of the combustion chamber based on the crank angle detected by the crank angle detector and estimator for estimating a motoring pressure of the engine in accordance with a calculation equation using the calculated volume. The apparatus adjusts either of the pressure detected by the internal pressure sensor and the pressure estimated by the estimator during a compression stroke of the engine to minimize the error between the detected pressure and the estimated pressure. The apparatus determines a combustion state during a combustion stroke of the engine based on a relation between the pressure adjusted and the other pressure. The apparatus identifies parameters of the calculation equation during a compression stroke of the engine to minimize the error between the pressure detected by the internal pressure sensor and the pressure estimated by the estimator.

Title: Method for signal-to-noise ratio enhancement of seismic data using amplitude noise attenuation
Inventor: HERKENHOFF E FREDERIC
IPC: G01V1/00
Filed: 2004-05-14
Granted: 2014-02-04
Abstract: A method for enhancing signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of seismic data is presented. An ensemble of input traces is decomposed into a plurality of frequency bands of traces. Trace and signal power and then a maximum allowable signal-to-noise ratio are estimated for each frequency band. Weights are calculated which are functions of the inverse noise power or rms. The amplitudes in each of the traces are reformed using a fitting function which utilizes the estimated weights to create true relative amplitude signal enhanced traces. The weighting function has data adaptive parameters which can be changed to accommodate noise characteristics such coherency, incoherency, Gaussian and non-Gaussian distributions, etc. The method may be applied across many different coordinate systems. The method may be applied iteratively to seismic data to shape the noise distribution of the seismic data.

A separate extension panel attached to the front wall further folds out to create a sleeping platform of desire length to accommodate a mattress. Dampers, springs, or other mechanical devices can be installed to assist in raising or lowering the front cabinet wall. When folded down the front cabinet wall and extension panel rest on a frame consisting of a plurality of nesting telescoping rails attached to the side walls and center support of the cabinet that telescope outward. Drawers are provided at the bottom of the cabinet. The drawers have a plurality of nesting rails between the sidewalls of the cabinet and the sidewalls of the drawers. The rails are supported by casters that enable the drawer to be extended away from the cabinet to create a level sleeping surface when the front wall and extension panel are unfolded. The drawers may also include storage space for pillows, bedding, and the like. In a closed position, the drawers and rails slide into the cabinet base. Latching means holds the cabinet securely closed to withstand the outward pressure of the folded mattress. A safety chain or strap may be provided to prevent the front panel from falling if accidentally opened.
