Abstract: Method for calibrating a measurement system for a dynamometrical brake (1), especially a test bed for a combustion engine, whereby the measurement arm (5) of a fly wheel (4) of the brake is attached to a base (2) that supports the wheel via a force measurement member (6). To calibrate the force measurement member a calibration lever (8) is attached to the flywheel with a force applied to it at a fixed distance from it, with the load applied measured using a reference load measurement cell (11). An Independent claim is made for a calibration device with a force generator (12) for applying a force to the calibration lever in the form of a pneumatic air pressure cylinder, which is controlled by a force regulator (17).

Abstract: An adaptive aero-thermodynamic engine model is disclosed which incorporates a
plurality of model engine operating parameters, a plurality of nominal component
efficiencies and corresponding efficiency modifier functions. The engine model is adapted
by measuring a plurality of engine operating parameters corresponding to the plurality of
model engine operating parameters during steady state operation of the engine over a
plurality of data points, matching each of the model engine operating parameters to
respective measured engine operating parameters by iteratively adapting each of the
nominal component efficiencies using the corresponding efficiency modifier functions,
estimating actual component efficiencies based upon the adapted nominal component
efficiencies, and inputting the estimated actual component efficiencies into the engine
model.

Title: Systems and methods of sampling a photodetector and photocell circuits incorporating the same
Inventor: MISEK BRIAN J
IPC: H04N5/3745
Filed: 2002-11-14
Abstract: Sampling systems and methods that enable a photodetector (12, 72) to be
sampled and read concurrently are described. This scheme may be used to
implement a photocell (10, 60, 70) in which image data from the photodetector
(12, 72) may be collected during readout. In this way, the substantial non-integration
periods that often characterize sampling schemes in which the
sampling and readout functions are performed sequentially, especially when
operating in a shuttered, non-rolling imaging mode, may be avoided.

Abstract: A wide band erbium-doped fiber amplifier (20) with a gain enhancement is provided comprising a first fiber amplifier (210) adapted to amplify C-band components of an input optical signal, a second fiber amplifier (220) connected to the first fiber amplifier in series while being disposed downstream from the first fiber amplifier to amplify L-band components of the input optical signal. A C/L splitter (232) is disposed between the first and second fiber amplifiers and to split the amplified C and L-band optical signals to flow along different paths. A fiber reflector (236) is disposed downstream from the second fiber amplifier to reflect the amplified L-band optical signal to flow backwards toward the second fiber amplifier. A circulator (234) is disposed between the C/L splitter and the second fiber amplifier to guide the amplified L-band optical signal, reflected to flow backwards by the fiber reflector, so that the amplified L-band optical signal flows along a path different from that of optical signals applied to the circulator. A C/L combiner (238) combines the amplified C-band optical signal split by the C/L splitter with the amplified L-band optical signal guided by the circulator, and applies the resultant optical signal to an output stage.

Abstract: A fuel cell having an optimized flow space for the passage
of hydrogen gas across the surface of an anode. The invention prevents
destructive oxidation of the anode by preventing the buildup of locally
high levels of oxygen. The anode surface itself may be shaped in lateral
plan to follow the natural contours of gas flow to eliminate hydrogen
stagnation areas on the anode surface. Alternatively, the anode surface
or the cathode surface may be coated in regions of anode stagnation to
prevent the fuel cell reactions from occurring in those regions.
Alternatively, the gas seals may be formed to cover the anode surface in
stagnation regions. Alternatively, the cathode and/or electrolyte may be
shaped or thickened to reduce or prevent diffusion of oxygen ions
therethrough.

gear  (76)  rotates a sensor gear  (74)  to rotate a sensor arm  (46)  about a sensor axis  (48) .
The sensor arm  (46)  supports sensor members  (58)  that move along sensor bands  (50)  to
generate an electrical signal. As the brake cover  (18)  rotates with the pedal lever  (20)  it
uncoils coil springs  (84)  to cause brake shoes  (80)  to pivot radially outward about
respective posts  (82)  frictionally engage the interior surface  (78)  of the central section
 (14)  to thereby provide a resistance or hysteresis to movement of the pedal lever  (20) .
One feature resides in at least two elements  (74, 76)  to interconnect the sensor arm  (46) 
and the pedal arm  (20)  to reduce space while maintaining the requisite movement of the
sensor members  (58)  over the sensor bands  (50)  and the other feature resides in spacing
the braking mechanism axially from the sensor arm  (46)  in radially overlapping
relationship to one another along the pedal axis (A).

Abstract: A fuel cell system includes fuel cells forming a fuel cell stack, having a fuel passage and an oxidant passage. A purge valve is coupled to the fuel passage to exhaust contaminants, and a controller is coupled to temporarily increase the oxidant stream flow rate through the oxidant passage, and to temporarily open the fuel purge valve, if a voltage across a pair of fuel cells is less than a defined threshold voltage. In this resuscitation step, the oxidant flow rate can be temporarily increased by increasing a duty cycle of an air compressor by approximately 50% for a duration of between approximately 5 to 10 seconds. The controller can further shut down fuel cell operation if a voltage across a pair of fuel cells is less than a defined threshold voltage in an inter-resuscitation period immediately following the resuscitation step.

IPC: F02M17/04
Filed: 2003-05-16
Abstract: A carburetor for a scavenged two-stroke internal combustion engine has
an enriched fuel-and-air mixing passage (26) extending through a housing of the carburetor (10).
Engaged to the housing is a body of an air flow modular assembly (12) which carries a
primary air flow passage (18) which houses a butterfly-type control valve (16) therein. The
throttle valve (32) of the fuel-and-air mixing passage is mechanically linked or cammed to the
control valve of the air flow passage so that opening of the throttle valve soon after
opens the control valve allowing additional air to enter and provide a leaner fuel-and-air
ratio in the combustion chamber of the engine when running under load. The air flow
modular assembly has a sealing-and-bearing assembly (50) which eliminates air leakage from
the surrounding environment along the shaft (34) of the control valve and into the primary air
flow passage. The sealing-and-bearing assembly has a bushing (62,64) which inserts into a
counter bore (56,58) of a cylindrical bore (52) which receives the rotating shaft of the control valve.
The bushing is thereby disposed radially and sealingly between the shaft and the body of
the modular assembly to journal the shaft and prevent air leakage. To prevent air bypass
leakage around the plate of the control valve within the air flow passage, the bushing and
respective counter bore do not extend all the way through the body and into the air
passage, instead, a cylindrical sealing surface which in-part defines the cylindrical bore,
sealingly engages the shaft axially between the counter bore and the air flow passage. In
this way, the plate (36) and body interface at the location of the rotating shaft can more
exactly follow the contour of the air flow passage, thereby preventing unwanted bypass
air flow when the control valve is closed.
