Abstract: A method of controlling exhaust gas recirculation by means of an EGR
valve (55). An electromagnetic actuator (41) is associated with a housing (47)
to transmit movement of an actuator output (75) into reciprocating movement of
the EGR valve in response to changes in an electrical input signal (95), and the
method comprises generating (93) a compensator gain value to modify the
electrical input signal (95). The improved method provides a valve position
sensor (79) and generates a position signal (97) representing instantaneous
valve position. The next step is storing (105) a first relationship (DC THLD ) of the
electrical input signal (95) required to change the instantaneous valve position,
then, during ongoing operation, generating (105) a then-current, second
relationship (DC) of the electrical input signal (95) required to change the
instantaneous valve position. Next is comparing (105) the second relationship
(DC) to the first (DC THLD ) and generating (111) a corresponding difference factor,
then using (111) that difference factor to modify (93) the compensator gain value
correspondingly. This method enables the system to adapt to changes in
system friction.

In one embodiment, a method for preparing an outgoing message includes composing the message, programming control information for performing a word spacing function, and associating the outgoing message with the control information. The control information may preferably assert whether to insert spaces between words of the outgoing message. In another embodiment, a method for processing a message includes receiving an incoming message and incoming control information for performing the word spacing function, and arranging the incoming message based on the incoming control information. An unspaced message may be sent, allowing the sending to include more letters, numbers, symbols, or other 'non-space characters' in the message. Furthermore, because the message is sent with the control information, the message may be arranged and displayed in spaced-wording format, allowing for easier reading by the message recipient.
