Title: Engine with controlled auto-ignition
Inventor: MA THOMAS TSOI-HEI
IPC: F02D41/00
Filed: 2001-02-22
Abstract: An internal combustion engine is disclosed that is operable under low and part load conditions in a controlled auto-ignition mode. The engine has means for independently varying the phase of the exhaust and intake valve events in relation to the crankshaft. When the engine is operating in the controlled auto-ignition mode, the means for adjusting the phase of the exhaust event act to close the exhaust valve at a variable instant (34 - 34') during the engine exhaust stroke so as to trap a variable proportion of the residual gases of one cycle in the cylinder. This varies the engine load by determining the quantity of fresh charge that may be admitted into the cylinder in a subsequent cycle. In the present invention, the means for adjusting the phase of the intake event (36' - 36'') act to allow a variable proportion of the charge in the cylinder to be expelled into the intake port at the commencement or termination of the intake event. This causes a variable amount of the cylinder charge to mix with the fresh air charge in the intake port and thereby controls the auto-ignition combustion properties of the trapped charge, allowing in particular the peak combustion pressure to be reduced.

Title: Compensating for thermal distortion in grinding machines
Inventor: PIERSE MICHAEL GEORGE
IPC: B24B49/14
Filed: 2001-03-22
Abstract: A method of reducing workpiece size drift arising from thermal distortion in a grinding machine which comprises a base 60 and a grinding wheel 50, by sensing first and second temperatures respectively at an upper and a lower surface of the base 60 substantially below a position 110 where grinding occurs, determining a relationship between workpiece size drift and changes in the difference between the two temperatures and correcting positional offset applied to the grinding wheel 50 during grinding in accordance with the relationship. The first temperature may be measured using a probe 100 positioned within a panel located in a coolant fluid gully 70, the probe 100 being in thermal communication with the upper surface of the base 60 via a heat conductive paste (e.g. a silicone paste). The second temperature may be measured using a magnetically attached, bolted or clamped probe 120 which is provided with an insulating shield to render it insensitive to air flowing past it.

Title: Multiplexing two signals into sequential, horizontally or vertically compressed multiplexed signal
Inventor: EZRA JACOB
IPC: H04N5/445
Filed: 2002-08-14
Abstract: Two television picture sequences are processed to provide a succession of television fields for recording in a single channel by storing temporarily in a digital memory for each television field time data of two fields, one from each sequence, and reading the fields' data out in time-multiplexed form. The multiplexing may be by fields or may be within each output field by means of horizontal or vertical compression of one field each from the two sequences. The sequence thus obtained may be used to provide selective display of one or other of the two picture sequences or a split-screen display of both sequences. The processor may also be used to provide a reconstituted single picture sequence from the multiplexed signal.
