Patent CA-2384542-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ROBICHAUX JERRY D
IPC: F02D41/00
Filed: 2002-05-02
Abstract: This invention is a method and system to control engine shutdown in a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). The invention allows for reduced tailpipe emissions during the many engine shutdowns and subsequent restarts during the course of an HEV drive cycle and reduced evaporative emissions, during an HEV "soak" (inactive) period. The engine shutdown routine can ramp off fuel injectors, control engine torque (via electronic throttle control), control engine speed, stop spark delivery by disabling the ignition system, stop purge vapor flow by closing a vapor management valve (VMV), stop exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) flow by closing an EGR valve, and flush the intake manifold of residual fuel (vapor and puddles) into the combustion chamber to be combusted. The resulting exhaust gas byproducts are then converted in the catalytic converter.

Abstract: Dans les jeux de société, le hasard est souvent déterminé par des dés ou d es cartes de jeux qui donnent des résultats non biaisés. Quand on lance un dé, personne ne sait quel chiffre on va obtenir. Ce mémoire présente le « texte-guide » comme une méthode de hasard qui permet de donner des résulta ts biaisés. Par exemple, dans un texte français on sait qu'on a plus de chance rencontrer un E ou un A qu'un K ou un W. Les textes sont toujours composés de phrases, de mots et de lettres. Chacune des lettres ou séquence de lettres prise séparément, peut être utilisée pour représenter quelqu'un o u quelque chose. Dans le cas présenté ici, les lettres et séquences de lettres représentent des joueurs de hockey, soccer, base-hall, football ou basket-ha ll donc celui qui est représenté par la lettre E est meilleur que tous les autres.
