Patent CA-2381434-C (CA)
Inventor: VALLEE RICHARD
IPC: H04B7/08
Filed: 2000-07-27
Granted: 2005-11-01
Abstract: A combiner for use in a spatial diversity radio receiver which receives multiple data signals. The combiner includes a receiving component configured for receiving strength-indicative signals, and demodulated data signals. A control signal generating component generates control signals responsive to the strength-indicative signals. A combining component combines, in linear proportions determined by the control signals, those of the demodulated data signals which are both above a predetermined strength threshold level ("combiner threshold") and differ in strength by less than a predetermined margin of preferably between 3dB and 12dB (e.g. 6dB). When more than the margin separates the signal strengths, only the strongest signal is used. Preferably, rapidly-fading signals are identified by evaluating second derivative signals of the strength-indicative signals, and weighted accordingly if a non-fading signal is available.

Abstract: A three-stage lean burn combustion chamber (28) comprises a primary combustion zone (36), a secondary combustion zone (40) and a tertiary combustion zone (44). Each of the combustion zones (36,40,44) is supplied with premixed fuel and air by respective fuel and air mixing ducts (54,70,92). The fuel and air mixing ducts (54,70,92) have a plurality of air injection slots (62,64,76,98) spaced apart transversely to the direction of flow through the fuel and air mixing ducts (54,70,92). The air injection slots (62,64,76,98) extend in the direction of flow through the fuel and air mixing ducts (54,70,92) to the reduce the magnitude of the fluctuations in the fuel to air ratio of the fuel and air mixture supplied into the at least one combustion zone (36,40,44). This reduces the generation of harmful vibrations in the combustion chamber (28).

Abstract: A characteristic change of a humidity sensor 19 is detected based on the transitional characteristics of output data of the humidity sensor 19 with respect to integrated moisture quantity data representative of an integrated amount of moisture that is supplied to an HC adsorbent 7 by an exhaust gas after an engine 1 has started to operate. Data of characteristics of an individual unit of the humidity sensor 19 is held by the resistance of a resistive element 21 connected to a connector or the like of the humidity sensor 19. A parameter for grasping a state of the HC adsorbent 7 is corrected depending on the detected characteristic change of the humidity sensor 19 and the characteristics of the individual unit of the humidity sensor 19, and the state of the HC adsorbent 7 is grasped based on the corrected parameter. The state, such as a deteriorated state or the like, of a hydrocarbon adsorbent (HC adsorbent) is properly monitored while compensating for the effect of the characteristic change of the humidity sensor and the effect of variations of the characteristics of individual units of the humidity sensor.
