Abstract: The invention relates to a method for adjusting adaptive programme maps of an adaptive knock control in an internal combustion engine and to a method for adjusting the knock control. According to said methods, the adaptive programme map (20) is determined by at least one operating parameter (22, 24), whereby the adaptive programme map (20) for each operating parameter range (26) is composed of a precontrol part (bi), which characterizes the environmental conditions, and a remaining part (ai), which results from the knock control. The value of the adaptive programme map for each operating parameter range is determined from the sum of the precontrol part (bi) that corresponds to the respective operating parameter range and the remaining part (ai) that corresponds to the respective operating parameter range. The adaptive programme map is adjusted first by identifying whether a change in the environmental conditions has occurred and subsequently by determining a new precontrol part, in accordance with the changed environmental conditions for each operating parameter range, if the environmental conditions have changed. If the environmental conditions have not changed, the precontrol part for each operating parameter range is held constant.

IPC: G01N29/12

Abstract: Elastography can produce quality strain images in vitro and in vivo. Standard elastography uses a coherent cross-correlation technique to estimate tissue displacement and tissue strain using a subsequent gradient operator. While coherent estimation methods generally have the advantage of being highly accurate and precise, even relatively small undesired motions are likely to cause enough signal decorrelation to produce significant degradation of the elastogram. For elastography to become more universally practical in such applications as hand-held, intravascular and abdominal imaging, the limitations associated with coherent strain estimation methods that require tissue and system stability, must be overcome. In this paper, we propose the use of a spectral shift method that uses a centroid shift estimate (Fig. 5) to measure local strain directly. Furthermore, we also show theoretically that a spectral bandwidth method can also provide a direct strain estimation. We demonstrate that strain estimation using the spectral shift technique is moderately less precise but far more robust than the cross-correlation method. A theoretical analysis as well as simulations and experimental results are used to illustrate the properties associated with this method.
