| 20120106748 | SYSTEM FOR SIMULATED MULTI-GEAR VEHICLE SOUND GENERATION - A vehicle sound generator system is configured to generate a signal configured to drive one or more speakers produce sound waves simulating sounds associated with a desired engine type. The signal is based on one or more operating conditions of a vehicle. The vehicle sound generator system is configured to select sounds from a plurality of sounds based on the operating conditions of the vehicle. Each sound corresponds to a simulated sound of an engine operating in a respective gear. The vehicle sound generator system may generate the signal to drive the speakers to produce selected sounds to simulate shifting between the respective gears. | 05-03-2012 |
| 20120083387 | REHEATED GAS TURBINE SYSTEM, IN PARTICULAR SUCH A SYSTEM HAVING A FUEL CELL - The present invention relates to (with reference to FIG. | 04-05-2012 |
| 20120079761 | METHOD OF BLENDING FUEL - The present invention relates to a method of blending a multi-component blended fuel. The method comprises selecting as a starting reference a known multi-component blended fuel (e.g. a blend of gasoline and ethanol) which is in use by an internal combustion engine which operates SI or HCCI combustion. The method comprises blending an alternative fuel which can be used by the same engine without modification of the engine, including without modifying the operating regime employed by its engine management system. The alternative fuel is a blend comprising all of the components of the known fuel and an additional fuel component (e.g. methanol). The blend components are blended in proportions which give to the alternative fuel: a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio by mass or by volume substantially equal to that of the known blended fuel; and/or a lower heating valve (e.g. volumetric or gravimetric) substantially equal to that of the known blended fuel; and/or produces a response from an ethanol sensor substantially equal to that of the known blended fuel. | 04-05-2012 |
