Patent EP-1198687-A1 (EP)
Title: High rigidity flange connection device
Inventor: GENRE-GRAND-PIERRE JO L
IPC: F16L9/00
Filed: 2000-07-03
Abstract: The invention concerns a high rigidity flange connection device for jointing sections of duct (1b), conduit or the like, with polygonal cross-section comprising hollow profiles (6) extending outwards of the ducts (1b), each profile (6) including a support edge (9) such that when the two sections (1b) are being jointed, the support edges (9) of the corresponding profiles (6) are joined together. The invention is characterised in that each hollow profile (6) is obtained by winding a sheet metal with five successive folds (10, 12, 14, 16, 18) globally in the same direction and towards the inside of the profile (6), so that a bonnet (8) with polygonal cross-section, can be clipped on two jointed profiles (6), the transverse cross-section of the profile (6) is globally closed and said profile (6) has at least one inner fold (17) extending parallel to the inner surface of support edge (9) so that, when the two sections of the duct (1a, 1b) are being jointed, the corner parts (7) force the inner fold (17) onto the inner surface of said support edge (9) completely closing the profile (6) on itself thereby providing a rigid beam ensuring that the connection is perfectly sealed.

Abstract: The invention is characterised in that each fuel tank (6) is encompassed by at least two yoke-like buoyancy control devices (4) which are oriented towards the container axis (c-c) and are connected to each other by means of horizontal forcing levers (23). Said control devices form a support frame (21) respectively which is composed of an upper and a lower component (14, 3) that are connected to each other involving shearing strength. The upper component (14) leaves open a chamber (22) for receiving the shafts (8-20). Distance or protection tubes (28) for receiving connecting pipelines are provided at said chamber. Said tubes are arranged vertically in relation to the container axis. A pipeline route (27) which is situated in the alignment of the container axis and connects the shafts to each other is provided at said chamber.

Abstract: Lorsque le moteur fonctionne en mélange air/carburant pauvre en carburant, on suit, à l'aide d'un modèle de gestion desdits moyens de stockage, l'évolution de l'efficacité de stockage (Effstoc) des NOx dans les moyens de stockage et, quand le modèle indique que ladite efficacité descend en dessous d'un seuil prédéterminé, on commande une purge desdits moyens de stockage et on arrête ladite purge quand le modèle indique que la quantité de NOx restant stockés est tombée en dessous d'un autre seuil prédéterminé. Suivant l'invention on corrige une valeur initiale, estimée au moyen du modèle, de plusieurs paramètres (QNOx, Effpurge, NSC) du modèle, en fonction du signal délivré par une sonde à oxygène placée dans le flux des gaz sortant du pot, les moyens de stockage étant auparavant établis dans un mode de fonctionnement tel que seul le paramètre en cours de réglage influence ledit signal.

Title: METHOD FOR MONITORING THE FUNCTIONING OF AN NO x? SENSOR ARRANGED IN AN EXHAUST GAS CHANNEL OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
Inventor: HAHN HERMANN
IPC: F02D41/02
Filed: 2000-09-15
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for monitoring the functioning of an NOx sensor (18) which is arranged in an exhaust gas channel of an internal combustion engine and which is located downstream from an NOx storage catalytic converter (16). The aim of the invention is to detect the faulty functioning of the NOx sensor in a simple manner in order to be able to take appropriate measures if necessary. To this end, the mass of NOx absorbed by the NOx storage catalytic converter (16) is determined within a diagnostic period using a measurement signal of the NOx sensor (18) while, at the same time, an absorbed NOx specified mass is calculated using a model for the NOx storage catalytic converter (16), and a ratio of the NOx mass to the NOx specified mass (control value KWn) is compared to the predetermined limit values (Gnu, Gno). The aim of the invention is also accomplished by measuring a duration (tmes) for a complete NOx regeneration of the NOx storage catalytic converter (16), by calculating a specified duration (tmod) for the NOx regeneration using a model for the NOx storage catalytic converter (16) and using a measured or calculated NOx load state, and by comparing a ratio of the duration (tmes) to the specified duration (tmod) (control value KWt) with predetermined limit values (Gtu, Gto).

Abstract: A device 10 for analyzing simultaneously multiple analytes in a fluid of
unknown composition. The device includes a plurality of sensors 22A-22E, a light
source 14 for providing light to shine on the sensors 22A-22E, light detectors 48,
and a processor 16. The sensors 22A-22E are exposed to a sample of the fluid of
unknown composition. The plurality of sensors 22A-22E include groups of sensors
22A-22E, each group targeting a specific analyte and including one or more sensors
that contain an analyte-specific chemical that interacts more specifically with one
analyte than with some other analytes to be analyzed. Each sensor in each group has
a different chemical interacting specifically with the analyte. The light source 16
shines light on the sensors of the plurality of sensors 22A-22E to cause light
interaction with the sensors 22A-22E. The differences in the sensors 22A-22E lead
to differences in the light interaction. The light detectors 48 detect the light
interaction by the sensors 22A-22E. The processor 22A-22E analyzes the light
interaction by the sensors 22A-22E to take into account interference in light
interaction among the analytes, thereby determining the concentration of each of the
analytes in the fluid.

Abstract: A set of predicted readers are determined for a data block subject to a write request
in a shared-memory multiprocessor system by first determining a current set of readers of the
data block, and then generating the set of predicted readers based on the current set of
readers and at least one additional set of readers representative of at least a portion of a global
history of a directory associated with the data block. In one possible implementation, the set
of predicted readers are generated by applying a function to the current set of readers and one
or more additional sets of readers. The function may be, for example, a union function, an
intersection function or a pattern-based function, and the directory and data block may be
elements of a memory associated with a particular processor node of the multiprocessor
system. The global history of the directory comprises multiple sets of previous readers
processed by the directory, with the total number of sets of previous readers corresponding
to a designated history depth associated with generation of the set of predicted readers. The
prediction process may use additional information in conjunction with the directory
information, such as a designated subset of cache address information, processor node
identification information, or program counter information.
