Abstract: A vehicle diagnosis system includes an electronic control unit (1), which executes a diagnosing process for determining whether any abnormality is present in a vehicle based on signals from vehicle devices. When any abnormality is detected, the electronic control unit (1) stores in an EEPROM (11) a diagnosis result indicative of the abnormality when a storage permission flag in the EEPROM (11) is in the on-state. The storage permission flag is turned on from the off-state when receiving a storage permission command from an external unit (23, 27, 31). Thus, the storage of the diagnosis result into the EEPROM (11) may be permitted at the time of transmitting the storage permission command externally to the ECU (1).

Abstract: In a lithographic apparatus, a feedforward transfer function of a control system, is determined by : a) iteratively learning a feedforward output signal of the control system by iterative learning control for a given setpoint signal; b) determining a relation between the learned feedforward output signal and the setpoint signal; and c) applying the relation as the feedforward transfer function of the control system. A learned feedforward, which has been learned for one or more specific setpoint signals only, can be adapted to provide a setpoint signal dependent feedforward output signal.

Abstract: Systems and methods for outputting instructions when a vehicle is not responding to a roll-angle alert. An example system (20) includes one or more altitude sensors (26) that determine one of altitude above ground level or barometric altitude, one or more roll-angle sensors (32) that determine the roll-angle of the vehicle, and a processor (24). The processor receives the altitude and roll-angle information, determines if an excessive roll-angle condition exists based on the received altitude and roll-angle information, and generates a roll-angle alert signal if a roll-angle alert condition exists. The processor generates a roll-direction signal based upon vehicle position relative to the horizon and outputs the determined roll-direction signal via the one or more output devices, if one of the condition still exists after the time delay, the vehicle roll-angle has deteriorated away from the desired threshold, or the roll-angle rate is greater than a roll-angle rate threshold.

Inventor: HUANG TIANPING
IPC: C09K8/60
Filed: 2008-01-23
Abstract: An aqueous fluid system that contains an aqueous dicarboxylic acid solution, a viscoelastic surfactant as a gelling agent to increase the viscosity of the fluid, and an internal breaker such as mineral oil and/or fish oil to controllably break the viscosity of the fluid provides a self-diverting acid treatment of subterranean formations. The internal breaker may be at least one mineral oil, a polyalphaolefin oil, a saturated fatty acid, and/or is an unsaturated fatty acid. The VES gelling agent does not yield viscosity until the organic acid starts to spend. Full viscosity yield of the VES gelling agent typically occurs at about 6.0 pH. The internal breaker allows the VES gelling agent to fully viscosify the spent organic acid at 6.0 pH and higher, but as the spent-acid VES gelled fluid reaching reservoir temperature, controllable break of the VES fluid viscosity over time can be achieved.
