Abstract: In a method of starting an internal combustion engine (1), a combustion
energy is generated by combusting a fuel that has been injected into a cylinder (2) in
an expansion stroke when the internal combustion engine (1) is stopped. In the
aforementioned method, the combustion energy (Ec (t0)) generated by combusting the
fuel is obtained based on a state of an air/fuel mixture within the cylinder (2) to which
the fuel has been injected. Based on the obtained combustion energy, a kinetic energy
(Ea (t1)) to be supplied to the internal combustion engine from a primary energy
supply source is estimated. A difference between a predetermined target kinetic
energy (Et (t1)) required for starting the internal combustion engine subsequent to the
start of combustion and the estimated kinetic energy to be supplied from the primary
energy supply source is obtained. The kinetic energy (Es (t1)) corresponding to the
obtained difference is supplied from a secondary energy supply source in the form of
a starter motor (17).

articulation between and separation of the two collars, and is adapted to provide
limited elongation of the ligaments and /or tendons under load, and includes means
arranged so as to exert a resistance (21,61,71,114,115) to joint movement over a
predetermined range of joint rotation. The connecting means may be a hinge (11) or
a stiff bendable connecting piece. The resistance-exerting means may be a
connector of high tensile strength and limited elasticity (61,71,115) connected to
one or more points on each of the collars, preferably adapted so as to mimic an

Inventor: AZADET KAMERAN
IPC: H04B3/32
Filed: 2003-12-09
Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for reducing cross-talk in an
unbalanced channel with a reduced number of redundancies. A cross-talk canceller is
disclosed that uses a multi-dimensional finite impulse response (FIR) filter to process
a received signal. Redundancies are reduced or even removed entirely by processing
the signals received on each twisted pair in a vector form, using multi-dimensional
finite impulse response filters. The signals received by a transceiver on each twisted
pair are represented in a vector form so that the signals received on each twisted pair,
and the cross-talk effect that each signal has on one another, can be performed
collectively. A multi-dimensional cross-talk canceller processes a vector
representation of the corresponding signals transmitted by the transceiver on each
twisted pair. An adder sums the equalized vector representation of the signals
received by the transceiver and the processed vector representation of the signals
transmitted by the transceiver to generate an estimate of the received signal on each
twisted pair.
