20100289565 | INTEGRATED CIRCUITS AND METHODS FOR ENABLING HIGH-SPEED AC-COUPLED NETWORKS TO SUPPRESS NOISE DURING LOW-FREQUENCY OPERATION - An alternating-current (AC) coupling integrated circuit (IC) suppresses signal errors introduced by a steady-state input signal. The IC includes an operational amplifier, a true direct-current (DC) bias network, a complimentary DC-bias network and first and second feedback elements. The operational amplifier has an inverting input, a non-inverting input and an output. The true DC-bias network has first and second branches that are coupled to one another and the non-inverting input. The complimentary DC-bias network has third and fourth branches that are coupled to one another and the inverting input. First and second feedback elements generate first and second control signals in response to a characteristic of one of the true input signal and the complimentary input signal. The control signals prevent the voltage at the inputs to the operational amplifier from reaching an equivalent, steady-state, DC-bias voltage. | 11-18-2010 |

20090301060 | METHOD OF ESTIMATING CATALYST TEMPERATURE OF A MULTI-DISPLACEMENT INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A method of estimating temperature of a catalyst associated with a cylinder bank of a multi-displacement internal combustion engine having multiple cylinder banks associated with multiple catalysts. A temperature estimate of the catalysts associated with the multiple cylinder banks is set substantially equal to a base model temperature. Deactivation of a cylinder bank of the multiple cylinder banks is determined, and a catalyst cooldown correction is identified for the catalyst associated with the deactivated cylinder bank from a catalyst cooldown model including time elapsed since deactivation of the cylinder bank. The catalyst cooldown correction is applied to the temperature estimate of the catalyst associated with the deactivated cylinder bank to update the temperature estimate of the catalyst. | 12-10-2009 |

20080302331 | ENGINE EVENT-BASED CORRECTION OF ENGINE SPEED FLUCTUATIONS - Ignition timing for a combustion engine may be controlled by determining the roughness of current engine operation, comparing the determined roughness with a control roughness to determine if the determined roughness is within a threshold limit of the control roughness, and changing the ignition timing in a subsequent fuel delivery event as a function of the difference between the determined roughness and the control roughness. Preferably, the ignition timing is changed at least when the determined roughness is not within the threshold limit, although other factors may be taken into account when changing the ignition timing. | 12-11-2008 |

20130276318 | TELESCOPIC SIGHT RING MOUNTS ALIGNMENT TOOL - The telescopic sight ring mounts alignment tool is an elongate, rigid, unitary, monolithic, solid bar having an outside diameter fitting closely within the mounting rings for a telescopic sight on a firearm. The tool may be used to secure dovetail mount-type scope rings to the firearm by securing the tool within each ring separately, and torqueing the tool to secure each ring in sequence. Alignment of rings of any mounting configuration with the barrel bore is checked by securing the tool within both rings and checking alignment of the beveled conical rear and the tapered front tip of the tool, respectively, with the receiver tang and the barrel of the firearm. The tool may be manufactured with an outside diameter dimensioned and configured to fit different inside diameter rings. Alternatively, different diameter sleeves may be provided to adapt a single tool for use with different inside diameter rings. | 10-24-2013 |
20130326893 | TELESCOPIC SIGHT ALIGNMENT TOOL - The telescopic sight alignment tool is used to align the horizontal and vertical axes of the scope with corresponding axes of the firearm upon which the scope is mounted. The tool comprises a unitary structure having a plate with a vertical crosshair alignment slit, with an ocular seat extending forward from the lower portion of the plate. Upper and lower alignment indicators extend from the plate. Alternative embodiments provide variations upon the alignment indicators. The tool is placed upon the ocular of the scope and secured adjustably thereon with an elastic band. The tool is rotated to align the slit precisely with the vertical crosshair of the scope. The scope is then rotated in its mounts until at least one of the indicators of the tool is aligned with an element of the firearm, e.g., front sight, tang of the action, etc., and the mounts tightened to secure the scope. | 12-12-2013 |
