Patent CA-2386970-A1 (CA)
Title: Directly actuated injection valve
Inventor: HEBBES MICHAEL
IPC: F02M61/10
Filed: 2000-10-02
Abstract: A directly actuated injection valve comprises a hollow valve housing (102), a valve needle (119) disposed within the hollow interior, a needle spring (116), an actuator assembly, and a hydraulic link assembly. The actuator assembly generates an opening force that acts against the needle spring (116) to open the valve. The hydraulic link assembly is interposed between the valve needle (114) and the needle spring (116) and the actuator assembly. The hydraulic link assembly transmits respective closing and opening forces to the valve needle (114). The hydraulic link preferably comprises a piston (114b) disposed within a cylinder (160) that is filled with a hydraulic fluid. The opening and closing forces are transmitted through a thickness of the hydraulic fluid that is trapped between the planar surfaces of the piston (114b) and the head (162) and base of the hydraulic cylinder. In the preferred embodiment, the thickness of the hydraulic fluid trapped between the piston (114b) and cylinder head (162) or base is automatically adjustable in response to changes in the dimensional relationship between components of the injection valve to maintain a desired valve needle lift when the actuator assembly is activated. When the actuator assembly comprises a magnetostrictive or piezoelectric member (130), the movements of the valve needle (114) can be controlled by the application of a shaped control pulse or waveform to improve the speed of the opening and closing motion of the valve needle (114), and to reduce the impact of the valve needle on the valve seat upon closing.

Filed: 2002-09-26
Abstract: Channel coding is used on the forward link of a CDMA cellular telephone network to allow the CDMA mobile channel decoder to perform error correction. On a wireless link, channel code performance is improved by providing the channel decoder with an estimate of the reliability of each received symbol. This reliability information is typically the ratio of desired signal energy to interference plus noise variance at the channel decoder input. This invention improves CDMA mobile channel decoder performance using a new technique for calculating more accurate estimates of the signal to interference plus noise ratio at the input of the mobile channel decoder.

Patent CA-2410076-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TOMODA KAZUHIKO
IPC: F02P5/152
Filed: 2002-10-29
Abstract: A technique that unburned fuel is burned in an exhaust pipe is known as a technique for preventing a turbo lag. Since the technique premises combustion in the exhaust pipe, the temperature in the exhaust pipe becomes high and the damage to the exhaust pipe becomes significant. Further, there is the possibility that the emission may be deteriorated. It is assumed that a throttle in a closed state is opened rapidly at a point P1 in FIG. (a). If the speed then is on the left side of a rapid opening threshold value indicated in the graph, then the opening is regarded as rapid opening. In (c), the ignition timing is changed over from an ordinary ignition timing to a corrected ignition timing at a point P3 at which information that the throttle speed has exceeded the rapid opening threshold value is received. When the throttle valve is opened rapidly, the ignition timing is advanced with respect to the ordinary ignition timing. Consequently, the start of combustion is advanced, and the speed of rotation of the engine can be raised thereby to advance the rise of an exhaust turbine and achieve augmentation of the drivability (driving performance).

IPC: C12N9/12
Filed: 2001-07-20
Abstract: The present invention pertains to methods for preventing reovirus recognition in the treatment of cellular proliferative disorders, and particularly ras-mediated cellular proliferative disorders, in mammals. The mammal may be selected from dogs, cats, sheep, goats, cattle, horses, pigs, mice, humans and non-human primates. The method comprises suppressing or otherwise inhibiting the immune system of the mammal and, concurrently or subsequently, administering to the proliferating cells an effective amount of one or more reoviruses under conditions which result in substantial lysis of the proliferating cells. In particular, the methods provide for reovirus treatment of immunosuppressed or immuno-deficient mammals to treat the proliferative disorders. Immunosuppression,immunoinhibition or otherwise inducing an immunodeficient state in a mammal renders the reovirus more effective. The methods may include the selective removal of immune constituents that may interfere with the systemic delivery of the virus; preventing reovirus recognition by the host immune system; and removal of the virus from an immune suppressed or immune incompetent host following treatment with reovirus.  Alternatively, reovirus may be administered to a mammal with a diminished immune response system under conditions which result in substantial lysis of the proliferating cells. Immune systems may be compromised by one or more of the following: an HIV infection; as a side effect of chemotherapy or radiation therapy; by selective removal of B and/or T cell populations; by removal of antibodies (anti-antireovirus antibodies or all antibodies), and the like.
