Title: Correcting for water influence the signal of a sensor for reducing gas in exhaust gas
Inventor: BRAUN TILLMANN
IPC: F01N3/20
Filed: 2000-02-17
Abstract: A method of correcting the influence of water on the signal of a sensor for a reducing agent in IC engine exhaust gas, such as ammonia which has been added to reduce NOx. Exhaust-gas moisture is determined taking into consideration moisture originating from combustion and moisture in induction air, the moisture originating from combustion being determined by one or more sensors which characterise the operating state of the IC engine, such air induction air mass flow, fuel mass flow, air temperature or pressure, or from the oxygen content of the exhaust gas. The moisture in the induction air is determined with a moisture sensor. The sensor signal is then corrected in dependance on the determined exhaust-gas moisture. The ammonia injection system described also determines defects in other components of the system.

Title: Power saving switch circuit
Inventor: MURR ROBERT
IPC: H02J13/00
Filed: 2000-04-19
Abstract: Operating switches (S1, S2, S3, figure 2) are monitored such that any change of state will generate a wake-up signal Y for an electronic device in a vehicle. The switches produce signals X1,X2,X3 which are fed to pulse shapers I1,I2 which generate a positive impulse when a rising or falling edge indicating a switch has just changed from a first to a second state is detected. The power consumption of the switch circuit is almost zero to reduce the drain on the vehicle battery.

Title: Peer to peer interconnect diagnostics
Inventor: MILLER MICHAEL HOWARD
IPC: G06F3/06
Filed: 2000-11-22
Abstract: An information handling system, such as a disc drive, includes a controller that communicates with other devices in a loop, and performs distributed or peer-to-peer loop error diagnostics. One example of a loop is a fiber channel arbitrated loop. Distributed or peer-to-peer loop error diagnostics identifies and diagnoses errors in the immediately upstream device and the immediately upstream link by monitoring the error count to determine if the error count is increasing or not. An increasing error count or a changed loop configuration indicates that the source of the error is not the upstream device, while an unchanging error count and an unchanged loop configuration indicates that the source of the error is the upstream link.
