20150197406 | SHEET FEEDER WITH DUAL DISCHARGE - A sheet feeder feeds product, one at a time, from the bottom of a stack onto a second stage discharge conveyor in which the serialized products are brought into precise registration prior to being deposited onto a moving web. To achieve registration, the products are transported at a higher rate than the speed of a pair of timing belts having regularly spaced lugs projecting therefrom. The lug timing belts are positioned beneath the belts transporting the product with the lugs projecting into the product's path of travel. The speed deference is that a leading edge of the products is brought into engagement with the trailing edge of a laterally aligned pair of lugs before the product arrives at the discharge point of the second stage discharge conveyor. The transport rate on the second stage discharge conveyor is controlled to match the speed of the moving web. | 07-16-2015 |

20140282356 | System Integration Techniques - One aspect of the disclosure provides a method including generating a graph database that stores records representing objects in a software development project. Each record is a node in a graph. The graph database further stores a set of relationships, with each relationship defining an edge between two related objects. The method also includes receiving a request for an analysis report corresponding to a specific object with respect to at least a portion of the software development project. The method also includes identifying one or more relationships of the specific object based on the set of relationships. The method includes determining a set of related objects that have a relationship to the specific object based on the identified relationships. The method further includes generating the analysis model based on the specific object, the identified relationships and the set of related objects. The method also includes providing the analysis model. | 09-18-2014 |

20090024300 | Airflow estimation method and apparatus for internal combustion engine - A method of estimating an air charge in at least one combustion cylinder of an internal combustion engine includes calculating cylinder mass air flow based upon a modified volumetric efficiency parameter; and calculating the intake throttle mass air flow based upon a throttle air flow discharge parameter and a fuel enrichment factor. Three models including a mean-value cylinder flow model, a manifold dynamics model, and a throttle flow model are provided to estimate the air charge in the at least one combustion cylinder and to control delivery of fuel to the fuel delivery system. | 01-22-2009 |
20100082297 | AIR/FUEL MIXTURE IMBALANCE DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEMS AND METHODS - An air/fuel imbalance (AFIM) diagnostic system comprises a first module, an imbalance determination module, and an imbalance diagnostic module. The first module outputs imbalance data samples based on an oxygen signal provided by an oxygen sensor measuring oxygen in exhaust expelled from cylinders of a cylinder bank. The imbalance determination module determines an AFIM value based on the imbalance data samples. The imbalance diagnostic module selectively diagnoses an AFIM in the cylinder bank based on the AFIM value. | 04-01-2010 |
20100305831 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ADAPTING SMALL FUEL INJECTION QUANTITIES - A method and system for controlling an engine includes a normal individual cylinder fuel correction determination module determining normal pulse mode individual cylinder fuel corrections in a normal pulse mode.

20110153181 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DIAGNOSING VALVE LIFT MECHANISMS AND OIL CONTROL VALVES OF CAMSHAFT LIFT SYSTEMS - A system for diagnosing a switchable roller finger follower (SRFF) and an oil control valve (OCV) includes a signal monitoring module and a fault detection module. The signal monitoring module receives at least one of an individual cylinder fuel correction (ICFC) signal and an air/fuel ratio imbalance (AFIM) signal when: an engine speed signal is within a predetermined range of speed; an engine load signal is within a predetermined range of load; and a charcoal canister vapor signal is within a predetermined range of flow rate. The fault detection module detects a fault of at least one of a SRFF and an OCV based on an exhaust gas recirculation value and at least one of the ICFC and AFIM signals. The ICFC and AFIM signals are generated based on: an engine position signal; and at least one of an oxygen signal and a wide range air fuel signal. | 06-23-2011 |

20090074116 | Iterative decoding - This invention provides an iterative process to maximum a posteriori (MAP) decoding. The iterative process uses an auxiliary function which is defined in terms of a complete data probability distribution. The auxiliary function is derived based on an expectation maximization (EM) algorithm. For a special case of trellis coded modulators, the auxiliary function may be iteratively evaluated by a combination of forward-backward and Viterbi algorithms. The iterative process converges monotonically and thus improves the performance of any decoding algorithm. The MAP decoding minimizes a probability of error. A direct approach to achieve this minimization results in complexity which grows exponentially with T, where T is the size of the input. The iterative process avoids this complexity by converging on the MAP solution through repeated maximization of the auxiliary function. | 03-19-2009 |
20090116689 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF WATERMARKING A SIGNAL - A system and method of generating a watermarked signal are disclosed. The system segments the signal into overlapping blocks using a window function and processes the overlapping blocks according to whether each block is odd- or even-numbered. The system windows the odd-numbered blocks, modulates the phase of each block in the frequency domain, transforms each modulated block in the time domain, windows each block transformed into the time domain and overlap-adds each odd-numbered block with each even-numbered block to generate the watermarked signal. | 05-07-2009 |
