Title: Method of controlling an engine
Inventor: ADAMS STUBBS
IPC: F02D41/02
Filed: 2018-10-17
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of controlling the transition between an economy mode and a performance mode of an internal combustion engine. The method comprises the steps of determining a current fuel-air ratio at which the engine is operating and comparing it with a predetermined fuel-air ratio limit. The time duration for which the current fuel-air ratio is below the fuel-air ratio limit is determined and compared with a predetermined waiting time threshold value. A count is triggered, which is based on a difference between the current fuel-air ratio and the fuel-air ratio limit when the engine is operating at a current fuel-air ratio which is below the fuel-air ratio limit and this is compared with an intensity threshold value. The operating mode is shifted from the performance mode to the economy mode when both the time duration and the count exceed the waiting time threshold value and the intensity threshold value respectively. The operating mode is automatically shifted back to the performance mode when the current fuel-air ratio reaches or exceeds the fuel-air ratio limit. The method allows for more sable transition between engine operating modes. An engine system using the method is also disclosed.

Bit size per pixel may be reduced in the difference video frame during high data rate periods, and bit packing may be used. Partial frames may be sent based on refresh rate, with highest differences sent first. Fading, corresponding to differences, may be applied to partial frames based on their number.

Title: Control of liquid ring pump
Inventor: XIN DAI
IPC: F04C28/06
Filed: 2021-03-24
Abstract: A control system, method, or program, suitable for a liquid ring pump, LRP 10, having a drive motor 12 and a controller 20 that uses determined values of electrical current within the motor and of speed of rotation of the motor in order to generate the value of a function F and to output one or more control signals based on that function value. Preferably, a PI controller, PID (proportional-integral-differential), or a fuzzy logic controller is used. The pump speed, and the speed of additional pumps 16, may be controlled by a variable frequency drive, VFD 42. The control system may be used in a vacuum system 2 which includes an air-water separator 14, or in a gas compressor. An alert module may shutdown and/or signal an operator when the value of function F, such as the ratio of current to speed (F = I / s), crosses a threshold. The speed of the motor may be determined using the frequency of the output power of the VFD divided by the number of poles of the motor. Control signals can be sent to the pumps over optical fibre or wireless connections. Purpose: reduce seal damage when a pump runs dry.
