Title: Capacitive object sensor
Inventor: VAN BERKEL CORNELIS
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 2003-10-30
Abstract: An object sensing system (50), and method, employing electric field sensing, also known as quasi-electrostatic sensing and which may be termed cross capacitive sensing, is described. The system (50) comprises at least one electrode arrangement (30), each electrode arrangement (30) comprising one electric field sensing reception electrode (32) and two electric field sensing transmission electrodes (34, 36). One of the electric field sensing transmission electrodes (36) is driven with an alternating voltage (130) comprising at least some antiphase portions, for example an inverted signal, in comparison to an alternating voltage (120) with which the other electric field sensing transmission electrode (34) is driven. This improves the spatial precision of object sensing performed by detecting changes in the current induced in the electric field reception electrode (32). In one arrangement the two electric field sensing transmission electrodes (34, 36) are in the form of annular rings arranged around the electric field sensing reception electrode (32).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un atténuateur (10) d'onde de pression et un procédé d'atténuation, cet atténuateur comprenant un oscillateur mécanique pour atténuer les ondes de pression formées dans un rail (12) contenant un certain volume de fluide. L'atténuateur comporte une cavité (96) de fluide fermée rigide, dont le volume déterminé est en communication avec le fluide (18a, 18b) d'actionnement du rail par un orifice (92a, 92b) à volume défini pour contenir le fluide d'actionnement. L'ouverture (93) de cet orifice, laquelle est en communication fluidique avec le fluide d'actionnement, est conçue de manière à ce que, lorsqu'une onde de pression est incidente sur l'ouverture de l'orifice, le fluide d'actionnement dans le volume de l'orifice est mis en vibration, cette vibration excite le fluide d'actionnement dans l'orifice par annulation de phase entre le fluide d'actionnement dans le volume de l'orifice et le volume du fluide d'actionnement dans la cavité fermée, provoquant ainsi une absorption d'énergie de l'onde de pression due à la force du frottement dans l'orifice et autour de celui-ci.

position of a predetermined channel with a pulse position
of another channel, searches for a pulse position by means
of a predetermined algorithm, and outputs a code combining
a found pulse position with a polarity code to an excitation
vector creation section 104 as a stochastic excitation
vector code. By this means, it is possible to secure
variations so that there are no positions where there
is no pulse at all while achieving a reduction of the
number of bits used when coding stochastic codebook pulses
in order to attain a lower bit rate.

IPC: F01N3/08

Abstract: An engine fuel injection control apparatus is configured to alleviate the torque
fluctuation that occurs due to deviation of the fuel injection timing from the optimum
value when the excess air ratio is changed suddenly from lean to rich, such as when a NOx
trapping catalytic converter (12) is subjected to desorption and deoxidation treatment.
When the excess air ratio changes by a large amount, the fuel injection timing is adjusted
so as to change in accordance with the actual excess air ratio by executing an interpolation
calculation based on the target excess air ratio and the actual excess air ratio. During the
transient period when the actual excess air ratio is converging toward the target excess air
ratio, the fuel injection timing is changed in accordance with the change in the actual
excess air ratio and can therefore be set appropriately in relation to the actual excess air
ratio. As a result, it is possible to alleviate torque fluctuation by suppressing the effect of
the fuel injection timing to change rapidly in a step-like manner between target values
before and after the excess air ratio changes.
