Patent GB-2364397-A (GB)
Title: Fuel control for an ic engine
Inventor: KOTWICKI ALLAN JOSEPH
IPC: F02D41/32
Filed: 2001-06-21
Abstract: A fuel control method uses a MAP sensor output that is encoded to render fuelling computations insensitive to microprocessor clock accuracy. The signal output of the MAP sensor is encoded as a pulse width modulated signal, the cylinder air mass is calculated as a function of the encoded MAP signal and the engine is fuelled according to the calculated cylinder air mass. By using the same time scale to decode the pulse width of the MAP PWM signal as is used to time injector duration, the time scale becomes irrelevant to the actual fuel/air ratio attained.

Title: Storing object versions in a database with delta files
Inventor: SCOTT TIM
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2001-12-17
Abstract: A data storage system is provided in which objects to be stored are correlated in two tables, the first an object branch table (200, fig 3) contains records based upon the branch and object identity only has one record for the current version of an object in a branch. The second table lists object versions (300, Fig 4) as a complete record of all versions of all objects in any branches. A data object A may have any number of versions 1 to 5 in any number of development branches X, Y and Z. In turn each of these branches might be associated with other objects and versions thereof (such as objects B and C, see figure 2). The current working version of each object is stored as a complete file with the current version number being recorded in a column (203, fig 3) in the object branch table whilst previous versions are stored as a compressed delta file of changes that need to be made to the current (or previous) version to recover that version. Each delta file must be used in sequence to recover a much earlier version.
