Abstract: The present invention has been realized in order to keep the cylinder exhaust temperature of a gas engine within a predetermined range, and thereby prevent the generation of misfire and knocking. In the present invention, in S1, when the number of rotations of the engine is greater than a predetermined number, in S2, the exhaust temperatures of the cylinders are sampled at predetermined intervals, in S3, an average of the exhaust temperatures is calculated, in S4, the load factor at that point is determined, in S5, the average exhaust temperature Tave is compared with the exhaust temperature T(n) of each cylinder, and it is determined whether the deviation  DELTA Tn is greater or smaller than the set deviation Tlimit for that load factor. When the deviation  DELTA Tn is smaller, the exhaust temperature is within the set deviation and there is no need to adjust the fuel spray period, and therefore the sequence returns to S2. When the deviation  DELTA Tn is greater, in S6, it is determined whether to increase or reduce the opening period of the electronic fuel spray valve. When increasing the opening period, the sequence shifts to S7, and when reducing the opening period, the sequence shifts to S8. Then, in S9, if the engine exceeds the predetermined number of rotations, the processes of 52 to S6 are repeated; in S9, if the engine is below the predetermined number of rotations, the control operation ceases. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Methods of characterizing subsurface conditions in a selected geographic region previously associated as a whole with a specific subsurface material characteristic reference profile such as from a USDA-NRCS soil survey. The method includes deploying a sensing tool at selected positions within the geographic region to determine a depth-referenced subsurface material characteristic such as soil type or strata, comparing the determined subsurface material characteristic to the subsurface material characteristic reference profile associated with the geographic region to determine a correlation between the subsurface material characteristic reference profile and the depth-referenced subsurface material characteristic, and then deciding whether to deploy the tool at another position, and at what optimum position to deploy the tool, by considering the correlation.

Abstract: A lamp capable of emitting electromagnetic radiation ( 9 ), for example visible, IR or UV radiation, exploiting the activation of substances ( 4 ) triggered with an antenna ( 6 ) irradiating microwaves ( 8 ) located inside and insulated, in focal position. Advantageously, the substances ( 4 ) are put into a chamber ( 3 ) obtained by introduction of a first bulb ( 1 ) in a second bulb, in order to form the chamber ( 3 ) closed between the walls of the first ( 1 ) and of the second bulb ( 2 ), the walls of the first bulb defining the recess ( 5 ) which houses the antenna ( 6 ). A better energy efficiency and a better economy is obtained with respect to the conventional techniques which require introduction of the lamp in a metal vessel crossed by microwaves, or under external microwaves beams. It belongs to the category of lamps without electrodes, because the atoms or the other particles that emit the radiation ( 8 ) are neither in contact with the antenna nor with other metal parts. It characterized by a high duration and by the possibility of emitting radiation of modulated wavelength in continuous or pulsed way.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an installation for collating stacks of printed products. The installation consists, inter alia, of a gathering machine, a predetermined number of feeders and a computer, the feeders being equipped to feed printed products to the gathering machine and stacks of printed products being produced in batches. Each batch consists of a set of groups of stacks where all stacks within a group have the same composition of printed products. The computer determines a feeder schedule in which it is specified which feeder has to be activated, deactivated or changed over at what point in time. The computer of the invention also determines a (sub)optimum batch sequence. As a result of determining this (sub)optimum batch sequence in advance, the number of times that a feeder that has been used for a particular batch has to be changed over for a subsequent batch during the batch processing process will be as low as possible. As a result, the time for which the gathering machine has to be stopped is minimum. <IMAGE>

Abstract: According to the invention, a precise criterion for evaluating the reception quality is derived in a stereo radio set from the signal energy or power of the upper and lower sideband (OS, US) of the L-R signal (L-R) of the stereo multiplex signal (MPX). To achieve this, the upper sideband (OS) is filtered out of the L-R signal (L-R) using a first bandpass filter (BP 1 ) and is mixed with an auxiliary carrier (H) of 38 KHz in a first mixer (M 1 ) and shifted to the baseband. Similarly, the lower sideband (US) is filtered out of the L-R signal (L-R) using a second bandpass filter (BP 2 ) and is mixed in a second mixer (M 2 ) with an auxiliary carrier (H) of KHz and shifted to the baseband. The output signal of the first mixer (M 1 ) is filtered in a first lowpass filter (TP 1 ), whilst the output signal of the second mixer (M 2 ) is filtered in a second lowpass filter (TP 2 ). The cross-correlation (Q), which represents an extremely precise measurement of reception quality, is formed in a unit (K) from the output signals of the two lowpass filters (TP 1 , TP 2 ). The greater the cross-correlation, the higher the reception quality.
