Anna De Fazio, Maroubra AU

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090203133Determinants of Sensitivity to Chemotherapeutic Agents - The present invention provides methods for determining the level of resistance of a tumour cell to one or more chemotherapeutic agents, comprising measuring the level of expression of a muscle ankyrin repeat protein in the tumour cell. The invention also provides methods for increasing the sensitivity of a tumour cell to one or more chemotherapeutic agents, comprising administering to the cell an effective amount of an antagonist of a muscle ankyrin repeat protein. The invention further provides compositions for use in accordance with methods of the invention.08-13-2009

20090192696 METHOD FOR EVALUATING THE QUANTITY OF FUEL INJECTED BY A FUEL INJECTOR IN AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE, PARTICULARLY A DIESEL COMMON-RAIL ENGINE - A method is provided that includes, but is not limited to acquiring the crankshaft speed signal while one fuel injector is energized for a determined period of time (ET) in which all the other fuel injectors are de-energized, processing the acquired crankshaft speed signal so as to obtain signals or data (A) representative of the amplitude of a predetermined harmonic component of the crankshaft speed signal, and calculating the power (RMS/MS) of said harmonic component, and assuming the calculated power value (C) as an estimation of the quantity of fuel actually injected by the energized injector in said predetermined period of time (ET).07-30-2009
20110125389METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE ACTUAL QUANTITY OF FUEL INJECTED IN AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A method is provided for the determination of the actual quantity of fuel injected in an internal combustion engine, in particular a Diesel engine. The engine includes, but is not limited to an inlet line and an exhaust line, at least one cylinder and at least an injector for each of the cylinders. The method includes, but is not limited to, during a fuel cut-off state of the engine, at least an injection into one of the cylinders of a nominal fuel test quantity and, in correlation to the test injection, a determination of the air flow quantity MAF at the inlet of the engine, a determination of the parameter λ in the exhaust line of the engine, and a calculation of the actual quantity of fuel Q05-26-2011

Tommaso De Fazio, Torino IT

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090018784METHOD OF ESTIMATION OF THE PRESSURE DROP BETWEEN TWO SECTIONS OF THE EXHAUST LINE OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A method is provided for estimating a pressure drop (Δp) between two sections of an exhaust line of an engine, such as a diesel engine. The method includes, but is not limited to the steps of measuring a fresh air flow rate ({dot over (m)}01-15-2009
20110160983 METHOD FOR CORRECTING THE CYLINDER UNBALANCING IN AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A method is provided for correcting the cylinder unbalancing in an internal combustion engine. The method includes, but is not limited to the steps of acquiring the crankshaft or engine speed signal while a fuel injector is energized for a determined period of time in which all other fuel injectors are de-energized, generating a square wave signal by scanning said markings with the detector, the signal having a predetermined period, performing a first period-summing step so as to obtain first segments of the periods, performing a digital anti-aliasing filtering of the first segments, performing a segment-summing step so as to obtain second, larger segments, performing a band-pass filtering step on predetermined harmonic components thus obtaining intermediate values, creating filtered correction values representative of an ideal crankshaft wheel speed signal, correcting the intermediate values using the filtered correction values thus obtaining final values, performing a proportional and integral control, component by component, based on the final values, summing (06-30-2011
20110224888METHOD TO DIAGNOSE A FAULT IN A FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM OF AN INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE - A method is provided to diagnose a fault in a fuel injection system of an internal combustion engine. The method includes, but is not limited to commanding an injection pulse for injecting a test quantity of fuel into an engine cylinder, determining the torque released to an engine crankshaft due to the injection pulse, calculating the difference between this released torque and an expected value for the torque, and of detecting a fault in the fuel injection system if the difference exceeds a threshold.09-15-2011
