Abstract: A method of controlling NO x  emissions in an internal combustion engine is proposed, wherein the engine comprises an exhaust system with oxidation - promoting catalyst means (22) having a NO oxidation efficiency, and wherein the engine is normally operated on a map of normal EGR rates. The engine is operable in a NO 2 -promoting mode that comprises the steps of: 
determining whether operating the engine under a modified EGR rate would lead to an increased generation of NO 2 , said determination taking into account the variability of the NO oxidation efficiency with the oxidation temperature and the exhaust flow rate; and 
using the modified EGR rate for engine control in case it leads to an increased NO 2  generation.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne des techniques efficaces pour faire respecter l'ordre des accès à une mémoire. Une requête d'accès à une mémoire est reçue à partir d'un dispositif qui n'est pas configuré pour générer des commandes de barrière de mémoire. Une barrière de substitution est générée en réponse à la requête d'accès à la mémoire. Une requête d'accès à une mémoire peut être une requête de lecture. Dans le cas d'une requête d'enregistrement de mémoire, la barrière de substitution est générée avant que la requête d'écriture soit traitée. La barrière de substitution peut également être générée en réponse à une requête de lecture conditionnelle à une requête d'écriture précédente à la même adresse que celle de la requête de lecture. La cohérence est respectée dans un système de mémoire hiérarchique comme si une commande de barrière de mémoire était reçue depuis le dispositif qui ne produit pas de commandes de barrière de mémoire.

Filed: 2010-06-07
Abstract: L'invention porte sur des systèmes d'éclairage à DEL qui font fonctionner leurs DEL à une température de jonction supérieure à 85°C et qui comportent, espacés des DEL, des composants du système d'éclairage à DEL qui réduisent une durée de vie prévue du système d'éclairage à DEL à moins de 25 000 heures à la suite du fonctionnement des DEL à une température de jonction supérieure à 85°C. Par conséquent, la DEL elle-même peut être commandée à une température supérieure à celle qui est traditionnellement choisie, sans altérer sa durée de vie. En permettant à la DEL de fonctionner à une température plus chaude, une dissipation de chaleur réduite peut être requise pour la DEL elle-même, ce qui peut diminuer le coût, la taille et/ou la complexité du système de gestion thermique pour le système d'éclairage à DEL et/ou ce qui peut permettre d'utiliser ailleurs le budget thermique destiné au système d'éclairage à DEL. L'invention porte également sur des structures associées.
