Granted: 2010-01-12
Abstract: A vehicle controller for controlling the air-fuel ratio of an engine is provided. In one embodiment, the controller comprises a first exhaust gas sensor provided downstream of the catalyst for detecting oxygen concentration of exhaust gas, a first decimation filter connected to the first exhaust gas sensor, and a control unit connected to the first decimation filter. The control unit determines a manipulated variable for manipulating the air-fuel ratio. The first decimation filter oversamples, low-pass filters and then downsamples the output of the first exhaust gas sensor. The first decimation filter can remove chemical noise from the output of the exhaust gas sensor. In another embodiment, a second decimation filter is connected to a second exhaust gas sensor provided upstream of the catalyst for detecting the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas. The second decimation filter overasmples, low-pass filters and then downsamples the output of the second exhaust gas sensor. The second decimation filter can compensate the shortage of resolution of the air-fuel ratio sensor.

Title: Device for hot dip coating metal strands
Inventor: BERGMANN FRANK
IPC: C23C2/40
Filed: 2003-02-20
Granted: 2010-08-17
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for hot dip coating metal strands (1), particularly strip steel, in which the metal strand (1) can be vertically guided through a reservoir (3), which accommodates the molten coating metal (2), and though a guide channel (4) connected upstream therefrom. An electromagnetic inductor (5) is mounted in the area of the guide channel (4) and in order to retain the coating metal (2) inside the reservoir (3), can induce induction currents in the coating metal (2) by means of an electromagnetic traveling field. While interacting with the electromagnetic traveling field, said induction currents exert an electromagnetic force. The inductor (5) has at least two main coils (6) that are arranged in succession in movement direction (X) of the metal strand (1), and has at least two correction coils (7) for controlling the position of the metal strand (1) inside the guide channel (4) in direction (N), which is normal to the surface of the metal strand (1). These correction coils are also arranged in succession in movement direction (X) of the metal strand (1). In order to improve the efficiency of the control of the metal strip inside the guide channel, the invention provides that at least a portion of the correction coils (7), when viewed in movement direction (X) of the metal strand (1), are arranged so that they are offset with regard to one another perpendicular to movement direction (X) and perpendicular to direction (N) that is normal to the surface of the metal strand (1).

Abstract: The pneumatic actuator of the invention is constructed from a plate (1) that is for example level and is secured in a reference system (9). On the one side of the plate (1), a first web (2) of a highly resistant and poorly extensible woven textile is secured such as by gluing alongside several strips (3). A second web (4), which is preferably made from the same material, is applied to the first web (2) and connected to the first web (2) along the strips (3). Between the strips (3), bladders (7) made of an elastic plastic material are inserted in the loose portions of the first and the second web (2, 4), said bladders being closed on both sides and comprising one valve (8) each. The bladders (7) can be pressurized with compressed gas through said valves (8). This causes the second web (4) to arch, the thus generated forces effecting onto the plate (1) a bending moment that causes the latter to laterally bend away.
