Title: Method and controller for controlling fuel injected into exhaust gases of an i.c. engine for regenerating a particulate filter
Inventor: SUN MIN
IPC: F02D41/02
Filed: 2005-12-19
Abstract: A controller for injecting fuel into exhaust gases of an i.c. engine for regenerating a particulate filter having an oxidation catalyst controls a doser to inject fuel during regeneration according to an open loop strategy, and adjusts the amount of fuel injected from the doser according to a closed loop strategy. The amount of fuel to be injected into the exhaust gases is first determined according to an open loop control strategy as a function of exhaust gas mass flow rate to the particulate filter assembly and exhaust gas temperature at an inlet to the oxidation catalyst. The amount is then adjusted according to a closed loop control strategy, as a function of sensed exhaust gas temperature at the oxidation catalyst outlet and a difference between a corrected outlet temperature (to account for sensor delays) and a desired outlet temperature for regeneration.

Title: Optical receiver with gain control circuit which can be switched out to save power
Inventor: TAKAMI MASAYUKI
IPC: H04W92/00
Filed: 2007-06-06
Abstract: An optical receiver converts an optical signal into an electric signal. The receiver includes a variable gain amplifier 9 and a gain controller 7. The gain controller is supplied power for a defined control period only. During this period it controls the adjustment voltage to stabilize an averaged level of the electric signal to a defined value, and feed-forward-controls a gain of the variable gain amplifier. A shut off unit 11, such as a switch, shuts off supply of power to the gain control circuit when the control period ends, and a storage unit 8 holds a value of an adjustment voltage previously provided by the gain controller and applies this to the variable gain amplifier. The receiver is a remote unit which receives radio over fibre optical communications from a master unit. Switching out the gain controller reduces power consumption.

Title: Emergency buoy and line system
Inventor: MCCAIG BARRY JOSEPH
IPC: B63C9/00
Filed: 2007-10-21
Abstract: An emergency buoy and line system comprises a line of buoys connected together by rope or wire lines to form a floating barrier. In use the lines of buoys would extend from the shore at the end of a runway that has a body of water at its end. Passengers escaping an aircraft fuselage suspended in water as the result of a crash would swim or drift with the current to the highly visible buoys. The lines of buoys may be placed slightly wider as the distance from the runway end increases. The system can be placed out into the body of water to a distance of 100 metres from the shore, depending on the sea state and rescue resources available. The system can be used by escaping passengers as a buoyancy aid until the arrival of the professional maritime emergency services. The system also allows passengers who are able to move along the suspended wire stretched between the buoys back to the shore. The suspended wire between the buoys may be kept afloat by a series of smaller floats. The buoys may be illuminated as a warning to shipping. Furthermore, illuminated buoys also make the system visible in poor weather and night time dark conditions.
