Title: Method of aquiring fuel injector characteristics
Inventor: NOUREDDINE GUERRASSI
IPC: F02D41/40
Filed: 2014-12-09
Abstract: Disclosed is a fuel injection system for an internal combustion engine, the system having one or more fuel injectors 2, wherein said fuel injectors are operated by sending a drive pulse of duration ΔT to an actuator of said fuel injector. The invention provides a method of updating data relating the duration of the pulse to a corresponding quantity of fuel injected. The method comprises the steps of providing a relationship between the drop in pressure in a common rail/accumulator volume and an injected fuel quantity, performing a series of injections with drive pulses of varying durations and for each of these determining the consequential pressure drop. The pressure drop is used to determine the actual fuel quantity injected and storing/updating the relationship between pulse length ΔT and injected quantity. The method may also comprise steps of correcting the relationship between the fuel pressure drop and fuel quantity injected for fuel temperature.

Title: Metal-insulator-metal capacitor formation techniques
Inventor: KOBRINSKY MAURO J
IPC: H01L29/92
Filed: 2014-01-16
Abstract: Techniques and structure are disclosed for providing a MIM capacitor having a generally corrugated profile. The corrugated topography is provisioned using sacrificial, self-organizing materials that effectively create a pattern in response to treatment (heat or other suitable stimulus), which is transferred to a dielectric material in which the MIM capacitor is formed. The self-organizing material may be, for example, a layer of directed self-assembly material that segregates into two alternating phases in response to heat or other stimulus, wherein one of the phases then can be selectively etched with respect to the other phase to provide the desired pattern. In another example case, the self-organizing material is a layer of material that coalesces into isolated islands when heated. As will be appreciated in light of this disclosure, the disclosed techniques can be used, for example, to increase capacitance per unit area, which can be scaled by etching deeper capacitor trenches/holes.

Title: Methods and systems for transmitting packets through an aggregated connection
Inventor: KAM CHIU NG
IPC: H04L12/46
Filed: 2014-08-29
Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and systems for transmitting a received packet at a first network node through an aggregated connection. The first network node determines session information of the received packet and determines whether a new tunnel needs to be selected for transmitting the received packet. When a new tunnel needs to be selected, a hash result is determined. The hash result is substantially based on the session information and the number of available tunnels. A first tunnel is determined for transmitting the received packet according to the hash result. The session information and tunnel ID of the first tunnel is then stored in a first database. The received packet is transmitted through the first tunnel. When a new tunnel need not be selected, a lookup is performed to determine a tunnel ID substantially based on the session information. The received packet is transmitted through the determined tunnel.

Abstract: An optical network node (320), such as an optical line terminal (OLT), comprising a plurality of interfaces (30, 32), each interface for exchanging optical signals between the optical network node and a different one of a plurality of passive optical networks (PONS). Each interface is capable of operating in a plurality of interface states and each interface comprises: a switch (220), a photodetector (224) a logic module (222). The switch (220) is for operating in a passing mode and a blocking mode, in which, in the passing mode, the interface is able to pass an optical signal to a one of the plurality of PONs, and in which, in the blocking mode, the interface is prevented from passing an optical signal to the one of the plurality of PONs. The photodetector (224) is for detecting an optical signal arriving from the one of the plurality of PONs at the interface. The logic module (222) is for controlling, in a first interface state, the mode of operation of the switch (220) in response to the detection of an optical signal arriving at the interface from the one of the plurality of PONs, so that the switch can be set to the blocking mode or the passing mode and so that, in the first interface state, the blocking mode is selected for the switch when an optical signal from the one of the plurality of PONs is detected at the interface; and so that, in the first interface state, the passing mode is selected for the switch otherwise. The optical network node thus provides protection switching in itself.

Title: Controller and method for migrating RDMA memory mappings of a virtual machine
Inventor: ANIMESH KUMAR TRIVEDI
IPC: G06F15/173
Filed: 2016-03-08
Abstract: A network interface provides access to the memory 31 of a data processing system 30 from a remote client 2 without involvement of the central processing unit using a remote direct memory access (RDMA) protocol. The interface controller 10 uses tables 40 to map memory region identifiers, such as steering tags, in requests to physical memory regions. The controller identifies the table to use for a given request by the network identifier of the virtual machine 20 to which the request is being sent. The controller then executes the memory access request using the region indicated by the identifier in the table. The network identifier of the virtual machine may be its Internet Protocol (IP) address. A virtual machine may log when it registers a memory region. If the virtual machine is migrated to another physical machine, the log may be used to create a new mapping table for its memory identifiers.

The low value resistances are connected across inverting and non-inverting inputs of the differential amplifier and a junction of the low value resistances is connected to chassis of the EV. The differential amplifier monitors voltage difference between the inverting and non-inverting inputs. The ADC 604 converts the voltage difference into digital form and the isolator isolates digital data from output of the ADC.
