Patent EP-1296058-A1 (EP)
Inventor: MASHIKI ZENICHIRO
IPC: F02D43/00
Filed: 1997-12-18
Abstract: An apparatus for reducing a torque fluctuation of a
lean burn combustion engine (1). An injector (11) supplies
fuel to combustion chambers of the engine (1). An ignitor
(10, 12) ignites the fuel supplied into the combustion
chambers. A knock sensor detects knocking in the engine
(1). An electronic control unit (ECU) (30) computes a delay
amount of the ignition timing based on a result of knock
detection by the knock sensor and controls the ignitor (12)
to delay the ignition timing by the delay amount to suppress
knocking. The ECU (30) also detects torque fluctuation of
the engine (1). The ECU (30) increases an amount of fuel
injection from the injector (11) by an increase amount to
reduce the torque fluctuation when the detected torque
fluctuation is larger than a target value. The ECU (30)
reduces the amount of exhaust gas recirculation in
accordance with said computed delay amount.

Abstract: The invention concerns a pre-distortion method for a telecommunication
system comprising a base station and at least one user. Each symbol of said user is
spread with a coding sequence over a plurality of carriers to produce a plurality of
corresponding frequency components of a signal ( S i   ( t )) to be transmitted over an
uplink transmission channel to said base station. Each of said frequency components
is weighted by a weighting coefficient (ω   i   (ℓ)), said weighting coefficients being
determined from the channel response coefficients ( h i   ( ℓ )) of the corresponding
downlink transmission channel at the respective frequencies of said carriers and from
a value of the noise variance (σ 2 ) affecting said carriers.

IPC: E21B17/01

Abstract: A design is chosen from a loads book and its apparent weight calculated. If the tension loads on the disconnected assembly are near a preset safety limit, the Von-Mises constraints are calculated for each tube section when it is connected. If these are near the tube material's elastic limit, each component is checked for the maximum tension, fatigue and dynamic loads imposed on the assembly Sizing a riser (1) connecting a seabed wellhead (2) to a floating support (7) via a main tube (8) comprises: (a) selecting the complete architecture of the riser using a book of loads, in particular to determine the thickness of the main tube and the type of float, and calculating the apparent weight of the assembly; (b) determining a safety margin on the tension of the assembly when it is disconnected from the wellhead, taking into account the apparent weight and the amplified tension at the head by movements of the floating support from which the assembly is suspended; (c) calculating the Von-Mises constraints in each section of the tube when it is connected to the wellhead, when the when the margin is near a preset value; and (d) when the constraints are near a predetermined criterion relative to the elastic limit of the tube material, obtaining the riser tube architecture and checking each component for compatibility with the maximum tension, fatigue and dynamic loads imposed on the assembly. The floatation device is modified until the margin of tension in the disconnected state is extended to the preset value, by varying the number of floats, the division of floats, the float diameter, or the density of the float material. The tube thickness is varied until the Van-Mises constraints approach the preset criteria of less than 2/3 of the elastic limit of the main tube steel. The calculations allow for a loss of thickness of the main tube and a loss of buoyancy of the floats. The margin is at least equal to 20 tonnes.

Abstract: In an ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system, the parameters which govern the display of Doppler information are automatically optimized to make better use of the display range or area. Spectral Doppler information may be used to optimize a spectral display or a colorflow display, and colorflow Doppler information may be used to optimize a spectral display or a colorflow display. The optimization may be invoked by a manual user control which automatically optimizes one or a plurality of display parameters. Automatic optimization may be invoked only when called for by the user, or periodically after a time interval, a given number of heart cycles, or when the user has made a change to the display or imaging mode. Preferably the optimization processor runs continuously in the background so that optimized parameters are available immediately when called for. The optimization processor may utilize 'hidden' Doppler data which has been acquired but is not used for display purposes.
